Improving and renovating your home is an exciting time. This is especially true when picking up the pieces after a flood or applying a new coat of paint. Your windows, especially, are excellent sources of renovation and home reconstruction. But what are window treatments?

And how do they help improve the look of your home?

What Are Window Treatments?

Window treatments are classic ways to improve the look of your home quickly and easily

Window treatments are changes you make to your windows. More specifically, window treatments include unique blinds, decorative styles, and different drapery.

Choosing between various window treatments allows you to add an attractive new look to your home. Especially if you're starting a home improvement project like removing popcorn ceilings or adding a new addition to your home with drywall.

One can categorize various window treatments by 'hard' and 'soft' window treatments. From Roman shades to wooden shutters, window treatments can add some life to a drab room. They can also add the finishing touches to a newly repaired room after unexpected water damage.

In short, window treatments allow the homeowner to develop and create the perfect aesthetic.

The budget isn't as restrictive with window treatments. There are fantastic window treatment options and designs to help boost the look and feel of any room. Even some simple curtains or shades can transform a room to your liking.

Here are some common window treatments to consider the next time you transform a room.

Hard Window Treatments

These window treatments use a variety of materials like aluminum and wood.

For example, there are blinds. These are slats that cover the window and prevent or let the light come into a room. Blinds are a great way to maximize privacy quickly.

There are also shades, which are coverings made of fabric or plastic. Homeowners operate blinds by either pulling up and down on them or using a cord to adjust the level of privacy.

Common hard window treatments are:

All of the above are great for blocking out light, creating privacy, and capitalizing on your personal style.

Soft Window Treatments

When working on the interior of the home, soft window treatments are your basic decorations. With soft window treatments, various curtains and drapes are popular options for maximum customization.

Homeowners can choose how much light comes into a room, setting the mood, creating ambiance, and customizing their home to their liking.

For example, with roman shades, you have flat fabric against the window. When you pull roman shades open, they fold. This pleated effect creates a pleasant look and feel that seamlessly fits in with any new room design.

Popular Soft Treatments are:

Other Treatments For Windows

Window treatment doesn't just include blinds, drapes, and shutters. In fact, some of the most crucial window treatment comes from cornices, molding, and different glass designs. In short, crafting the ideal interior with materials of your choosing is a comprehensive process filled with tons of options.

A great way to ensure molding and cornices are in place is through thorough caulking from home reconstruction professionals.

Likewise, you can choose from frosted glass, stained glass, or even smart glass for privacy.

Either way, homeowners have a lot of creative freedom with window treatments in Southern California.

Window Treatment After Disaster

If you have ever experienced a rough storm, flooding, mudslide, or earthquake, you know just how vulnerable your home's windows are. That's where hard treatments (wood shutters, aluminum, etc.) come in to save the day.

Call local home repair and reconstruction professionals at Five Star Restoration to see what window treatment suits your home best.

Plus, if there's an anticipated storm or extreme weather event, it's well worth investing in quality board-up services in the Inland Empire.

Board-Up Services

When you choose to board up your home, you're investing in its wellbeing. Plus, it goes a long way in retaining your insurance coverage.

Boarding up your home involves covering entrances and openings with wood. The goal is to deter people from entering your home and safeguard it from further damage from earthquakes, mudslides, and more.

Protect Your Windows! When To Use Board-Up Services

Board-up services are an excellent option to keep you and your family safe. Whether intruders, encroaching wildfires, or any other calamity, boarding up windows keeps danger out and protects the window itself.

After the danger passes, you will see just how valuable that will be. Window repair can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Now multiply that by a few windows, and you have a home repair nightmare.

In short, it's always a good idea to be prepared. That's where Five Star Restoration comes in to make your life easier.
