Window Coverings
More than Just Looks
Imagine you’re looking east across Howe Sound toward the toothy mountains of Sea-to-Sky country. The sun paints the sky with hues of orange to pinks and corals. You can feel the warmth of the sun as it peeks over the ridge. You shade your eyes. It’s 5:10 am. The forecast promises another day of 32°c and your kitchen overlooking the ocean is already 28°c. By the time you leave the house at 8:30 am, the kitchen is 38°c. Some of your house-plants are already wilting. It would help if you had window coverings. There are so many choices in window coverings, it’s can be a bit of a process to find what you work right for you. Here’s some of the basics for you to consider.

Vertical Blinds Vertical blinds are created from various materials: wood, metal, composite or laminated fabrics and bamboo. The slats run vertical and move from side to side when tilted, and stack left, right or separate in the middle to when opened. Vertical blinds work well in large windows and sliding glass doors. The large slats make vertical blinds much easier to clean than other window coverings.
