[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As a consumer, it\u2019s important to get to do your research so that you make well-informed decisions based on cold hard facts. This is definitely the case when it comes to equipping your home in\u00a0Incline Village, NV with window coverings<\/a>. You\u2019ll want to get as much information as you can so that you make the right decision for you and your family.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at some window covering myths that many people assume are true \u2013 even though they\u2019re not at all accurate.<\/p>\n

Myth: Window Blinds are Really Difficult to Maintain<\/strong>
\nWindow blinds are a popular option among people who want a cost-effective window treatment that offers privacy and some insulation properties. You can get them in different styles, in different materials, and at different price points. Don\u2019t believe the myth that it\u2019s a pain to keep window blinds looking their best. The process is actually fairly simple. You will simply want to vacuum them off once per month, and they will continue to look great and increase your home\u2019s oomph factor. Another option to keep them clean is to use a duster on occasion.<\/p>\n

Myth: Window Coverings Will Make My Home Too Dark<\/strong>
\nThe primary functions of\u00a0window coverings<\/a>\u00a0are privacy and controlling the amount of light that gets into the rooms of your residence. But not all window coverings block light completely. You\u2019ll find many varieties that allow you to let in varying amounts of light, which means you can completely stop the light from coming in, allow a lot of light to stream in, or allow light to flow indoors to varying degrees.<\/p>\n

Myth: Curtains Must be Hung on the Window Trim<\/strong>
\nIt is an oft-repeated myth that the best spot to hang drapes is on the window trim. If you go into most homes that have drapes over the windows, you\u2019ll see the drapes hanging from the window trim. Nevertheless, this arrangement creates the impression of short windows and blocks out natural light. So it\u2019s best to hang drapes higher up on the wall. In other words, it should be within a few inches of the ceiling. When you do this, it will appear that your windows are larger than they are.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”7\/12″][vc_column_text]Myth: Window Coverings Obscure the View Outside<\/strong>
\nSome people believe that a window covering will block the view outdoors. If your living room has a patio door with a large window, you won\u2019t want your view to be blocked when you want to see the garden or to watch your kids play. It\u2019s important to keep in mind that the only way your view will be locked is if you wish for it to be so. In other words, you manipulate the slats on, say, blinds to gain privacy or to get a full view of the great outdoors.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_single_image image=”3085″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When you\u00a0need window coverings<\/a>\u00a0in Incline Village, NV, we have you covered.\u00a0\u00a0We offer<\/a>\u00a0motorized shades, traditional shades, blinds, shutters, Roman shades, custom drapery, and more.
