How To Choose Bedroom Window Treatments In Honolulu

When you’re searching for a bedroom window treatment in Honolulu, color, installation, privacy, light control, and energy efficiency are major criteria to consider. What’s the best choice between plantation shutters, sliding barn doors, blinds, and shades? Consider these 5 things when selecting bedroom window treatments in Honolulu, HI.

Privacy

Privacy is the primary criteria for selecting bedroom window treatments. Shades, drapes, and blinds might provide an adequate shield from curious passersby. But their often sheer material means silhouettes and shadows may still be visible.

Sliding barn doors and plantation shutters, on the other hand, give you the most privacy. The shutter louvers can be moved to close completely. And bedroom shutters come with a frame to ensure there’s no space on the sides of the window. With sliding barn doors, just slide the panels closed for more privacy. But a slight gap on the sides of the window may be of concern depending on how your sliding barn doors are installed.

Light Control

For all the times you want to block out an obnoxious street light, ignore the full moon, or sleep in, you need a bedroom window treatment that can block light. Blindslike shades and curtains, are not the best at darkening the room. The material the slats are made from is usually pretty thin. And light still filters in from the sides.

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

All types of plantation shutters are mounted with a frame that seals off any stray sun rays. And their louvers can lay flat against each other, creating the darkest possible room. Both Ovation® wood and Polywood® shutters are made from louvers that can be closed to block out light. But reclaimed wood shutters might have markings and holes that let in light.

Color

Bedroom window treatments are available in a variety of colors to match your color scheme. If you want to bring in the warmth of wood, choose sliding barn door shutters, wood blinds, woven wood shades, Ovation wood plantation shutters, or reclaimed wood shutters. For a more modern look, cellular shades, Polywood plantation shutters, or metal blinds are your better choice. And these bedroom window treatments can be customized with a selection of paints, stains, patterns, and more.

Quality

When you’re ordering bedroom window treatments, buy with quality in mind. Shades, draperies, and blinds are likely to discolor, break, and lose their integrity within 10 years. Polywood plantation shutters, on the other hand, are engineered to last for 50+ years. They’re treated with UV inhibitors, which means the paint color doesn’t yellow. And our patented wood synthetic means their louvers will never warp.
