Best Window Treatments For The Midwest and Chicago
As a resident of Chicago, you understand how hard it is to keep your home at the right temperature during freezing winters and hot, muggy summers. The right window treatments make the struggle easier.
Polywood® Shutters, Solid and Beautiful Window Treatments for the Midwest
Interior shutters are the most versatile window treatments for the Midwest. They look beautiful and add comfort to your Chicago home. Chicago homeowners appreciate interior shutters' straight lines and neutral colors because they can be used with most home styles and décor. Our Polywood® shutters look great in craftsman houses, ranch homes, and modern homes, alike.
Polywood shutters excel at energy-efficiency. Other window treatments don't block heat and cold as well as they do. Polywood’s weatherstripping insulates windows up to 70% better. This unique feature keeps your home's air pleasant inside and blocks out heat loss through your windows.
Polywood shutters also guard against humidity better than other window treatments in the Midwest. They are impervious to water and bitter temperatures. Unlike wood shutters, they do not yellow, crack, or warp and are more durable than other window treatments.
Custom Polywood shutters can be installed on any window, from grand picture windows to petite gable windows. They don't hide the beautiful shape of circle, octagon, or arched windows. And their louvers still work on any size of windows for light and privacy control.
Cellular Shades Increase Your Chicago Home's Energy Efficiency
Cellular shades also work well with most homes in the Midwest. Homeowners like that cellular shades mimic drapery but are more functional than curtains. Their wide selection of options and textures complement both rustic and modern homes. You can buy semi-translucent shades to let in light or solid ones for more privacy.
Like shutters, cellular shades improve your home's energy efficiency. Their special fabric cells insulate against heat and cold better than other window shades. Midwest humidity does not damage cellular shades, either. Their material resists humidity so that their accordian-like folds retain their shape.
Long-Lasting Roller Shades Resist Moisture
Roller shades are also a great choice for window treatments in the Midwest. This classic shade also comes in a variety of colors and patterns, but its simple structure makes it ideal for any room.
Roller shades are offered in many opacities that let you control how much sunlight comes in to your room. The more light, the hotter a room gets. Many Chicago homeowners like blackout roller shades to reduce this heat and increase their privacy.
Another reason homeowners order roller shades in the Midwest: they are sturdy and don’t have folds to collect moisture from the air. Unlike drapes, your roller shades will not have a damp smell on a high-humidity day.
