Frequent Asked Questions About Window Treatments

A. The simple fact of the matter is that there is no one right answer to this question. The needs and tastes of every homeowner are different, and the question of which window covering option is going to be right for you and your home is largely one of personal preference. When you are shopping for new window covering options, our team of professionals will ensure you have all of the information you need about the various covering options out there, and we will show you a wide variety of different products that we believe will best meet your functional needs, as well as your personal design tastes, and all while working within your budget. We take a variety of different factors into account when making our recommendations, including durability, ease of maintenance, design preference, and just overall function. Our goal is always to make sure you get the option best suited to your individual tastes and needs.

A. Again, the answer to this question comes more down to personal taste and choice than anything else. For many homeowners who choose to make the investment in new shutters, natural wood is the only option they will consider, because if you are already paying the price for new shutters, why not get the real thing? Natural wood does cost a bit more and is a little bit harder to maintain and keep clean, but if you are able to keep up with their care, you will have an absolutely stunning feature for your home that really is hard to match. Additionally, as long as they are properly cared for, natural wood shutters can provide you with a noticeable boost to your property value. Polycore shutters, on the other hand, are a wonderful option for anything that likes the look of natural wood, but doesn't necessarily pay the extra cost for it, or have to deal with maintaining it. Additionally, polycore shutters are a bit more durable than natural wood, making them a more attractive option in more active homes.

A. One of the biggest differences between getting your new shutters, blinds, or shades from us as opposed to your local hardware store is that we can provide you with the service you need to properly install and care for them as well. There is a lot that goes into properly installing new window coverings around your home, and the process of measuring correctly and actually getting everything to hang right can be much more difficult than it seems at first. When you hire our team of professionals for the job, however, you can rest assured that our team of experienced technicians will have your work completed both quickly and accurately. The quality of available products will be quite different as well. Most hardware stores sell mass produced window covering products that don't really offer you much in the way of quality. Here at Elite Window Coverings, however, we have a full line of high quality custom window coverings from Alta Window Fashions, one of the top names for quality in the industry.
