- Energy Efficiency and UV Protection

- Budget
Understanding where the light comes from is an important part of product selection. Windows that face north won't have any direct sunlight exposure, but may be cold. You may want to consider energy-efficient window treatments. Windows facing south will have warm light most of the day so you want to consider light-diffusing window coverings to protect furniture. From the east there will be bright morning sun so you will probably want to consider products with good UV protection. And finally, windows on the west side will experience strong, bright light and hot afternoons in the North Texas summers. Consider products with both light controlling and diffusing qualities.
Do you like traditional looks or contemporary? Are you trying to create a formal look or casual? Is the country look more your style or urban sophistication? We have products to fit any need. We can show you the products that match your style.
Do you need full privacy of just some screening? The choice will vary for each room and depend on the outside view. A living area facing a private backyard might be fine for screening. A bedroom facing the neighbor's house would require privacy.
We have a huge selection of colors, shades, textures and tints. The possibilities are endless. Consider if you are trying to compliment existing decor or if you want the window treatments to be the focus of the room.
Do you have arches, eye-brows, angles, circular, or palladian? We have blinds and shades that can cover and compliment just about any shape.
Remote control and power options are available in many products to provide easy and safe control of windows treatments in any location of the home.
Many products offer great energy efficiency and can help lower electric bills. UV protection will help reduce sun rays that can fade carpets and upholstery.
If you have kids or pets, many window treatment products offer operating systems that increase safety by smart designs or eliminating cords altogether.
In today's enconomy everyone is more conscious than ever of controlling expenses. Establish a budget and let Shades of North Texas help you to choose the right window covering products that work for you.
