Have you made your decision on which blinds to install on your windows? If yes, half the difficult path is covered. We have often witnessed customers feeling confused about which window treatments to incorporate. Bravo! You have made it through that mess. Here are some tips that you wish not to miss—  

Factors to Consider During Blinds Installation in Calgary

1. Proper Measurements

Do not fail to measure your windows accurately. Ill-fitting blinds will not only look unappealing but will also affect the functionality at large. Always measure both the width and height of the window recess to ensure a precise fit.

2. Type and Placement of Window Blinds

Different type of blinds serves different purpose. Hence, evaluating the blind and window functionality beforehand disperses the inconvenience and inefficiency afterward.

For instance, heavy fabric blinds in the bathroom might not be the best choice as the area is high in humidity and can lead to potential moisture damage, fungi issues, etc. Consider the room's purpose, sunlight exposure, and moisture levels while selecting window blinds.

3. Verify the Mechanism

We all feel good when something new comes to home. Especially when there is a change in the home decor, right? But overlooking the smooth mechanism of the blinds in the midst of all the happenings and excitement keeps frustration in the loop.

Just imagine you installed the whole window treatment and then found something was not right. Got the heads-up right?! Test the blinds' raising, lowering, and tilting mechanisms before fully installing them.

4. Look through the Proper Mounting Sides

Choosing the wrong mounting option, such as an inside mount for blinds that are too wide, can lead to improper fit and operation. Similarly, an outside mount that is too far from the window can obstruct the view and light.
