Signs You Need New Window Treatments

As a homeowner, you will need to pay attention to many aspects of your home and update them as years go by, one of which is your window treatments. Window treatments control light, privacy, and the energy efficiency of your home and can also be a sophisticated element of your interior design. At Jackie and Bill’s Draperies and Interiors, we want to help you understand signs that may indicate that your window treatments could use replacement. We carry the entire line of elite Hunter Douglas window treatments and want to help you make sure you have beautiful, functional window treatments.

Signs it May Be Time to Replace your Window Treatments

1. Window treatment slats are bent or warped

In the heartland of the United States, homes can be subject to a variety of weather, but extreme heat is always possible. Window treatment slats may bend or warp over time due to heat and sunlight exposure. Misshapen slats can make your window treatments significantly less effective and more challenging to operate. While cleaning window treatment slats is always a good idea, if you notice that slats in your window treatments are warped in some way, you may want to consider replacing them.

2. Slats are faded or discolored

Fading and discoloration can happen to window treatment slats after overexposure to sunlight or heat. Fading or discoloration is another sign that your window treatments can benefit from replacement. Whether you want to recreate your current aesthetic or re-design a space, we carry Hunter Douglas window treatments in various styles, colors, and materials to fit your needs and prioritize longevity.

3. Operating cords are frayed

Cords operate many window treatments, and these cords can fray over time, causing both an eyesore and a danger. While frayed cords can be caused by the age of the window treatments or an internal error, consider new window treatments as soon as possible. We are happy to point you toward many cordless options from Hunter Douglas!

4. Window treatments are tough to operate 

If you have noticed your window treatments becoming more challenging to operate, it is a good indicator that you could benefit from new ones that will add ease and convenience to your life. We highly suggest talking to one of our representatives about the Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation operating system that lets your window treatments operate independently, creating maximum convenience in your home.

5. Treatments no longer complement your style

Window treatments are an element of your home that have the unique ability to be highly functional and highly decorative. If the rest of your home has gotten an interior design décor update, don’t forget to include your window treatments! Choosing a new window treatment can ensure that your interior design flows seamlessly from one room to the next.
