Window Treatments for Builders and Contractors
As builders, contractors, and remodelers, one of the most important aspects of the job is ensuring that homes and buildings are up to code and look great. Since windows are one of the most expensive parts of a home, selecting the right window treatments can make or break the overall look. Whether it’s a new build, renovation, or tenant improvement, Woven Window works closely with builders and contractors to provide custom window treatments for any home or office.
Window treatments play an important role in the aesthetics of a home or building, and they can also help with energy efficiency, privacy, and more. This article will explore some of builders’ and contractors’ best window treatment options.
Home builders and Contractors
If you’re a home builder or contractor, you know that windows are one of the most important features of a home. They let in natural light and help make a space feel bigger and more open. However, they can also be a weak spot regarding energy efficiency. That’s why it’s important to help your clients select the best window treatments.
Window coverings are a necessary investment for anyone building or renovating a home. Most homeowners will go to a big box store and try to find a window treatment package for their home. As their builder or contractor, help them make a wise investment by assisting them to choose window coverings that will last the lifetime of the home.
At Woven, we work closely with contractors and home builders to provide homeowners with quality products that suit their style and individual needs. We offer free on-site estimates, design packages, and on-site help to make the process easy and stress-free.
New Home Design Theme
Whatever the style, your window coverings should be timeless. Window coverings are an essential design element in every space. Window treatments, along with your flooring and color scheme, will establish the tone of the home.
Shades or Drapes
Remember several things when choosing shades or drapes for your home. The most important thing is the function of the window treatment. The size and shape of the window will help determine what type of window treatment will work best. Are you looking for privacy? Do you need light control? Are you trying to block out the sun? Once you know the function, you can narrow down your options.
Shade Options
- Cellular Shades
- Roller Shades
- Roman Shades
Cellular Shades
Roller Shades
- Blackout roller shades are a great option for bedrooms and media rooms. They are made with a thicker fabric that blocks all light, making them perfect for rooms where you want to control the light level.
- Light-filtering roller shades are a great option for living rooms and dining rooms. They let in some light while still providing privacy.
Roman Shades
- Flat Roman Shades are a great option for wider windows than tall ones. They provide a clean, simple look that can be dressed up or down.
- Hobbled Roman Shades are a great option for taller than wide windows. They have a softer, more luxurious look, perfect for formal spaces.
Drapes and Curtains
Drapes and curtains are a great option for adding style and texture to your home or renovation. Drapes and curtains can be made from various fabrics, including lightweight fabrics like cotton and linen, to heavier fabrics like velvet and brocade.
Drapes and curtains can also be lined with an additional layer of fabric for added privacy and light control. Blackout drapes are a great option for bedrooms and media rooms, as the thick fabric blocks out light, making it perfect for rooms where you want to control how much light enters the room.
Styles
- Pleated Drapes are a classic drape style made with fabric gathered into pleats. Pleated drapes are available in various fabrics and can be hung from various hardware options.
- Grommet Drapes are a modern drape style made with fabric that has grommets along the top. Grommet drapes are easy to hang and are available in various fabrics.
- Sheer Drapes are a lightweight, airy style of drape made with sheer fabric. Sheer drapes are perfect for layering with other window treatments or for providing a light and airy look in a space.
Inside or Outside Mount
If you have decorative trim you would like to showcase, and an inside mount is the preferred way to mount your window coverings so they aren’t covering the trim or millwork. An inside mount is when the window treatment is mounted on the inside of the window frame. This method is also great if you want your window treatment flush with the window and not project out.
An outside mount is when the window treatment is mounted on the outside of the window frame. Outside mounts are a great option to block out light or add privacy to a space. But remember that it will cover some of the trim work.
