Frequently Asked Shutter Company Questions - Answered By Palmetto Blinds LLC

There are many factors to consider when looking for the right window treatment, such as functionality and light control. But ultimately, your choice will depend on your own personal sense of style and how you wish to reflect it in a way that complements or accents your home's architecture. Shutters and wood blinds offer a more organic, traditional, western look. Shades and blinds present the most streamlined, precise, minimalist style. The flat surface of shades when closed and their nearly invisible look when open, don't interfere with any architectural features of the window frames that you wish to accentuate. Blinds throw straight lines and precise angles into the mix for a more industrial, modern vibe. Fashion is subjective and Palmetto Blinds LLC is here to help realize your stylistic vision for your Charleston home!

Deciding between real wood and faux wood depends on your budget and what you're looking for in a window covering. Wood blinds are typically made from basswood, making them a good option for interior windows because they are extremely durable but also lightweight. Cedar pine is also frequently used, which has natural knots and grains that can add so much extra style to a room. Wood blinds need to be cared for properly in order to last, but when they are taken care of, can last for years to come.

Faux wood blinds look and feel like real wood, but they're much easier to maintain and much more difficult to damage. Faux wood panels are often reinforced with an aluminum core to help make them more durable and are also a water-resistant option for rooms like bathrooms and kitchens. Palmetto Blinds LLC can give you more information on these kinds of blinds and help you make the best choice for your home.

Cleaning your blinds may not be your favorite chore, but it's still an essential part of window treatment maintenance. If you want your blinds to last the entire duration of their useful life, then regular cleaning should be a priority. In order to clean the dust, pet fur, and dirt off of your blinds, you'll need a few tools, including a vacuum with a brush attachment and a microfiber cloth.

Avoid using water or other cleaning solutions initially. Instead, begin cleaning your blinds by removing the dust from the slats with a vacuum or microfiber cloth. Clean both sides of the blinds, and dust them from top to bottom. Make sure to clean up the dust that falls on the window sill and floor as well. If your blinds need a little more elbow grease than a vacuum or cloth can provide, consider using a gentle cleaning solution appropriate for the material of your blinds.
