Enrich your room

Real wood blinds can enrich the look of any room. Basswood blinds from SelectBlinds are available in a variety of natural stains, and also painted in shades of white. Customizing your real wood blinds is as easy as choosing a cloth tape. The cloth tapes are attached in a way that covers the ladders, which are the cords that run vertically through the slats to raise and lower the wood blind. An added benefit of the cloth tape is that it covers the holes that the ladders run through, thus eliminating any little points of light that might bleed through.

Money savers

We all want to save money, especially in the current economy. Window shades are absolutely money savers. This takes nothing away from their being a great way to decorate your home. Window shades serve more purposes than just being a decorative way to cover your windows. SelectBlinds’ window shades actually provide insulation. And by insulating your windows with window shades, you are protecting your house against the elements, improving energy efficiency. The newest cellular shade product is also our best solution. The VuThru Insulating Blind is a Honeycomb Shades, but also can operate like a traditional horizontal window blind. The VuThru Insulating Blind is available as either a light filtering window shade, or a room darkening window shade. Both versions of this energy efficient window shade look like a honeycomb shade. but can open by raising the shade, like traditional cellular shades, or can be opened by collapsing the individual horizontal cells, creating a view through to the outside, just like a horizontal window blind. If the VuThru is not right for you, any of our honeycomb window shades will provide insulation at varying levels. The double cell constructed shades will provide better insulation than the single cell shades.

Light filter or room darkening

Depending on in which room your window blinds will hang, the amount of light that filters through is important in your decision making process. The kitchen window blinds, as an example, don’t need the same amount of light blockage as say the bedroom window shades or media room window blinds. Light filtering shades or room darkening shades can also be a good indicator as to the level of privacy you can expect from your window blinds or window shades. The more privacy that you desire, the greater the room darkening shade you should consider when shopping. You will want to visit a few specific categories for these situations. For some unique room darkening shades, visit the Honeycomb/Cell Shade category, the Roman Shade category, the Woven / Bamboo Blinds category, the Roller Shade category, and the Sheer Shade category. Also be sure to look at the options of each shade, many have the option of adding Privacy liners and Blackout liners.
