How To Pick Bedroom Window Treatments In San Diego

When searching for a bedroom window treatment in San Diego, energy efficiency, color, installation, privacy, and light control are some things to consider. What’s the best choice between plantation shutters, sliding barn doors, blinds, and shades? Here are 5 things to think about when purchasing bedroom window treatments in San Diego, CA.

Privacy

Privacy is the most important criteria for purchasing bedroom window treatments. Blinds, shades, and drapes may give you an adequate shield from nosy neighbors. But their generally thin material means shadows and silhouettes may still be visible.

Plantation shutters and sliding barn doors, conversely let you have ultimate privacy. The plantation shutter louvers can be shifted to close entirely. And you can rest assured that there are no gaps on the sides of the window because bedroom shutters are set up with a frame. With sliding barn door shutters, you can slide the panels closed. Depending on how the barn doors are mounted, you might see a slight gap on the sides of the window.

Light Control

When you want to ignore the full moon, sleep in, or block out an obnoxious street light, you need a light-blocking bedroom window treatment. Blinds are not ideal for keeping the room dark. The material the slats are made from is usually pretty thin. And the light still comes in from the sides.

Certain kinds of shades can result in adequate light blocking. And some blackout curtains succeed in minimizing the amount of light that comes through the window. Some blackout curtains can be effective at minimizing the amount of light that comes through the window. And certain types of shades may provide you with enough room darkening. Sliding barn doors are built from solid wood that can block the light head on. However the gap on the sides of the panels does not seal off the light completely.

All three plantation shutter types are installed with a frame that seals off any stray sun rays. And their louvers can lay flat against each other, creating the darkest possible room. Both Polywood® and Ovation® wood shutters are made from louvers that can be closed to block out light. However, reclaimed wood shutters may have holes and markings that let in light. Now you can ignore the moonlight any day with these bedroom plantation shutters!

Color

And made with our patented wood synthetic, shutter louvers will never warp.
