Shopping for Window Treatments – Are You a Tilter or a Lifter?
When you’re shopping for new window treatments, you can save time by narrowing down your choices ahead of time. One of the most important questions to ask yourself is, “Are you a tilter or a lifter?” This will help you focus your search on either blinds, shades, shadings, or shutters. Our sales consultants at Window Products can show you window treatments options that will match your preferred style. As a Hunter Douglas Gallery, we’ve been serving the window treatment needs of customers throughout Connecticut since 1994.
Window Shades, Roman Shades are for Lifters
If you are primarily a “lifter,” you are someone who wants to see through an unobstructed window, so the blind or shade needs to be one that can be easily lifted open, closed or out of the way.
Window treatments you want to consider are:
- Duette or Applause Honeycomb Shades
- Design Studio Roman Shades
- Designer Screen Shades
- Designer Roller Shades
- Pleated Shades
- Provenance Woven Wood Shades
- Vignette Modern Roman Shades
Blinds, Shadings, Sheers are for Tilters
If you are primarily a “tilter,” you are someone who wants to leave your window treatments in place and just rotate them open and closed.
Window treatments you want to consider are:
- Silhouette or Nantucket Window Shadings
- Pirouette Window Shadings
- Luminette Privacy Sheers
- Shutters
- Wood Blinds
- Vertical Blinds
- Aluminum Blinds
Add Motorization to Tilt or Lift for You!
Whether you’re a tilter or a lifter, one thing’s for sure — there’s a motorization system that can do the work for you! Almost any window treatment can be motorized giving you the ability to lift, raise, lower, adjust slats, vanes and louvers anywhere in the room.
