How To Choose Bedroom Window Treatments In San Antonio

When searching for a bedroom window covering in San Antonio, light control, energy efficiency, color, installation, and privacy are key things to consider. What’s the best window treatment between blinds, shades, plantation shutters, and sliding barn doors? Consider these 5 things when picking bedroom window treatments in San Antonio, TX.

Privacy

Privacy is the main reason to install bedroom window treatments. Drapes, blinds, and shades may provide you with an adequate screen from curious passersby. But their often thin material means shadows and silhouettes can still be seen.

Sliding barn doors and plantation shutters, conversely give you the most privacy. The solid louvers of plantation shutters can be moved and closed completely. And you can be sure that there are no gaps on the sides of the window since bedroom shutters are mounted with a frame. With sliding barn doors, just slide the panels closed for more privacy. Depending on how the barn doors are installed, you might see a slight gap on the sides of the window.

Light Control

When you want to sleep in, block out an annoying street light, or ignore the full moon, you need a light-blocking bedroom window treatment. Blindslike curtains and shades, are not the best at keeping the room dark. The material the slats are made from is usually pretty thin. And you can still see light coming in from the sides.

Some shades may provide you with enough room darkening. And some blackout curtains succeed in minimizing the amount of light that comes through the window. Some blackout curtains succeed in reducing the brightness in the room. And certain kinds of shades can give you adequate room darkening. Sliding barn doors , made from solid wood block the light head on. However the gap on the sides of the panels does not seal off the light completely.

The frame that comes standard with all three plantation shutter types seals off sun rays. And their louvers can tilt flat, to create the darkest possible room. Both Ovation® wood and Polywood® shutters louvers can be closed to block out light. But reclaimed wood shutters are likely to have markings and holes that let in light.

Color
