Blinds, Shades & Shutters

Blinds
2" Faux Wood Blinds

Faux Wood Blinds are made of a mixture of different polymers. They are heavier than wood, but offer easy maintenance and if you are matching trim color in any variation of white, you will find a color that will work.

2" Stained Wood Blind

Usually made of basswood, these blinds address privacy and glare control. They are an aesthetically pleasing and affordable option. Wood blinds are usually offered with 1”, 2”, and 2-1/2” slats.

Shades
Top Down/Bottom Up Cellular Shades

These shades work well when addressing energy conservation and comfort, and are also offered in a large array of colors. Pleated shades have folds (or pleats) that are available in a number of sizes. They are different from Cellular shades in that the latter can have anywhere between two to three additional layers that are attached in a way that a small, cellular tube is created that runs either the width of the window for horizontal shades, or lengthwise for vertical shades. These tubes act as an air shield against outside temperature and solar light.

Woven Woods Shades

Increasing in popularity, these products address privacy, energy conservation and glare control. Woven Wood refers to shades that are made, for the most part, in grasses, bamboos and organic materials. They offer all of the benefits of a shade, but each shade is “one of a kind,” and offers many homeowners an aesthetic satisfaction in their purchase.

Roller Shades

These products address privacy, energy conservation and glare control. In addition, motorization is available in many cases. Austin has seen a boom in the sales of these products due to the increasing number of individuals choosing to live and work in an urban area, where windows tend to be large and out of reach.

Shutters
Hidden Tilt Bar Faux Wood Shutters

Shutters still continue to be a popular choice for homeowners. They are usually offered in a 2-1/2”, 3-1/2” and 4-1/2” louver; and more frequently, can be made with or without a tilt rod in front. In addition, wood shutters can be crafted to work with arch and eyebrow windows—an architectural trend that is continuing to grow in new construction. Faux Wood Shutters are made of a vinyl or polymer, and just like the 2” faux wood products, they are easy to maintain and in some cases, flame retardant. Due to the manufacturing process, they can offer a fairly quick turnaround time, and some fabricators have received environmental awards. In addition, there are now companies that use easily replaceable components—a good option for a growing family.
