Hard Window Treatments





A home with a great view is a big selling point for homeowners. If you have a great view or want the maximum amount of natural light possible, hard window treatments allow the most flexibility.
Hard Window Treatments
• natural woven shade slats are constructed primarily of grasses, raffia, bamboo or jute, woven shades can be combined with a soft window treatment or they can stand alone. They softly filter the light and provide a warm warm feeling to the room.
• horizontal blinds are available in varying slat widths to fit most windows. The latest trend in build widh is the easy-to-operate 2” blind that gives the appearance of plantation shutters. They can be constructed of wood, aluminum, vinyl, or other synthetic meterials made to look like stained or painted wood.
• vertical blinds are a good choice for sliding glass doors. Vertical blinds offer the ability to reveal all the glass with the stack back completely off the window. The blinds can also be rotated to control light and maintain in aluminum, vinyl, or fabric to coordinate, with your room.
• shutter provide a crisp, architectural appearance that can enhance the room’s moulding while providing excellent light control. The 2” louver, also referred to as a “plantation” shutter, is the most trendy.

Insulation
If drafty windows are a problem, Roman and cellular shades are available with insulating liners to keep cold and heat out, potentially available is window wallpaper. The wallpaper clings directly to your glass window. The covering has a translucent finish that provides privacy and provides summer and winter insulation to also help reduce your utility bill.
 Before Purchasing
Before purchasing window treatments, measure each window with a steel measuring tape. Do not assume that all of the windows are the same size. Remember, covering more of the window space is better than not covering enough. There are a lot of choices involved in selecting the window treatments best suited for your room. The main thing to keep in mind is what you ultimately want from new window treatments.

These were the Dom-ino prefabricated houses with independent skeletons. The frame was to be completely independent of the floor plans of the houses.
