5 things to consider when buying blinds
When it comes to your home, windows are the, well, windows
to its soul. So if it’s time to treat your home to a facelift, choosing blinds
is an important part of that process. Before you start perusing warehouses and
showrooms, there are a few things you should know about shopping for blinds Dubai.
Know
what you’re looking for
The Dubai blinds is, well, blinding. Check out any warehouse or showroom and you’ll find
myriad choices available. Plantation shutters, mini blinds, roller shades,
vertical blinds — the list goes on and on. To narrow your search, think about
where your blinds will be installed. If your blinds will go in a bedroom,
you’ll want to ensure you’re buying room-darkening blinds. Smaller slat blinds
close more tightly, ensuring less light escaping into your room. To save money
on your energy bill, Budget Blinds recommends honeycomb shades, which
“cells” built in to keep air from escaping or entering into your home. It is
important to call a professional blind specialist when considering all of these
details.
Think
safety

you’re like most people, you buy blinds to get a little privacy — and safety — from
the outside world. But depending on the blinds you have in your home, your
window coverings could be making your family less safe, just by donning your
windows. If you’ve got long cords spilling from your blinds, it’s time to look
into a safer option.
Take
care with doors
Your
windows aren’t the only opening that require a little love and protection. Your
doors – whether they’re French doors or a windowed door – also need blinds.
Keep in mind when shopping for door blinds that you’ll want to buy shallow
blinds to ensure they don’t get in the way of your door hardware. You’ll also
want to keep in mind that mounting door blinds is a bit different than mounting
window blinds, as door don’t have depth like windows do. You’ll need special
mounting hardware, including hold-down brackets, to do the job right.
Consider
the look from the outside-in

form matters just as much. That’s why it’s important to buy something you’ll
enjoy looking at for years to come and be proud of other people seeing as well.

your home’s curb appeal. Take care when selecting blinds that will be installed
in focal-point areas, like the windows surrounding your front door or in your
entryway.
