The Times They Are A Changing!

In the past, enhansing the look of the room was all consumers expected from their window treatments. Once thought of as the “final touch” when decorating a room is no longer true. Today’s customers are expecting a lot more from their Blinds Shades And Shutters. The eco/friendly movement and enhanced technology has come to the forefront of design.

Providing insulation, privacy and protection from the sun is not enough for today’s eco/friendly customer. The window fashion industry has recognized the importance of ecological responsibility and responded with environmentally friendly products. Offering a variety of options and styles, today’s best dressed window is made from natural materials and offers clean lines and easy care and operation. Soft textured looks and sheers are popular especially among younger consumers. Panel tracks are something different for sliders and large windows. They offer a lot of style options and provide protection from the sun. Roller shades are capturing some of the roman shade business but are also taking a piece of the market that blinds or pleated shades might of had a few years ago.
With the Gen-X/Gen-Y consumer in mind, technology has brought motorized window treatments. Keeping up with home theater and digital electronics, motorized blinds and shades have become the “must have” in the industry. Sales of motorization have quadrupled in the past year with no signs of slowing down. The Smart Home buyer can integrate window treatments with controls for lighting, heating and air conditioning, security and entertainment.
