How to Know if you Need New Window Treatments

Being a homeowner requires a lot of responsibility and diligence in maintaining the décor, furniture, and features of your home. When it comes to your window treatments, it is important they stay in good condition so they can filter light, maintain your home’s temperature, and keep your energy bill low. At Redmond Window Treats in Redmond, Oregon, our team wants to help you distinguish between window treatments that may need cleaning versus those that may be in need of replacement.

Here Are Some Tips

1. Slats are bent or warped

In the Pacific Northwest, slats may become bent or warped as a result of prolonged exposure to high temperature of direct sunlight or humidity. No matter how they came about, misshapen slats can make your window treatments significantly less effective and harder to operate. If you notice that slats in your window treatments are warped in some way, you may want to consider replacing them as opposed to keeping them around to clean or repair.

  • Tip: Our selection of blinds from Hunter Douglas offers options that are warp-proof and easy to operate!

2. Cords are frayed

Frayed cords are both an eyesore and a danger, especially to young children or pets who may not know better. Frayed cords can be caused by age of the window treatments or an internal error. Regardless of why the cords are frayed, consider new window treatments as soon as possible, maybe even a cordless option from Hunter Douglas!

  • Tip: Check out generation 3 of PowerView™ Automation, a motorized window treatment system, powered by Bluetooth technology!

3. Treatments are difficult to operate

If you have recently felt as though your window treatments are becoming more difficult to operate, it is a good indicated that you need new ones that will add ease and convenience to your life. In this case, we recommend talking to one of our representatives about the many operating systems we offer that let your window treatments operate in ways that you need for maximum convenience.

4. Slats are faded or discolored

Discolored or faded slates may also be caused by overexposure to sunlight. If you are noticing yellowing or fading of your window treatments, it is time to treat your home to a new set! Hunter Douglas window treatments are offered in a variety of styles, colors and materials to fit your needs and prioritize longevity.

5. Treatments do not match your interior design aesthetic

Window treatments can be a huge statement and ensure your windows blend seamlessly with the rest of your décor. If the rest of your home has gotten a décor update, remember to include your window treatments! Hunter Douglas window treatments come in a variety of colors and materials so you can make sure they are an extension of your personality and style.
