Customized Window Treatments for Allergy Prevention
Windows are like moving paintings on canvas with a glimpse of nature! With spring at the door, the desire to throw open the windows wide-n-bright for some fresh air lures our soul more than anything. But while everyone enjoys the pleasant spring breeze, it is a worrying matter for those who are prone to airborne allergies. We cannot control the allergy intruders at 100 percent, but with the right customized window treatments, we can control the rate of exposure to such allergies.
Other than the favorite wall colors, windows are another interesting aspect of a home. While moving to a new place or building our dream house, we all, irrespective of age, look out for the window view.
Here are some best window treatments to alleviate allergens:
1. Roller blinds
The best and easiest window treatment to detract allergens is roller blinds. Such blinds are made of single flat shades. Hence, as they are encased above the window, it prevents dust, pollens, or debris from making their home. Also, when rolled down, for its flat shade pattern, it gives you ease in cleaning the surface with minimal effort.
2. Faux wood blinds/shutters
Wood blinds & shutters are the most elegant & stylish yet, preventive allergy window treatments available for you in Vancouver. Because of its hard surface, it is easy to wipe down or just feather dust regularly.
Though woods are the most organic material, opting for blinds and shutters made of faux wood is comparatively pocket-friendly. Not only will it cater to your room with ample light, but it will also give you your desired privacy at a reasonable cost. You can customize the width and type of wood for your window shutters at any time at our store.
3. Vertical blinds
Considering the importance of keeping the window treatment clean for your loved ones, who are allergic to dust or sun, or pollen from plants & flowers, it will be wise to choose vertical blinds. Such blinds are highly recommended for official sectors in Vancouver. As it's impossible to ask every employee if they suffer from allergies, it will be smart for you to choose vertical blinds.
Unlike any other forms of window treatments, vertical blinds are the best hypoallergenic window treatment. Ask how? Vertical blinds, as the name suggests, hang downwards. This deliberately makes it difficult for debris, pollen, or any kind of allergens to pile up on the slats. Every time you slide off or slide on the window blind, it will shake off the dust particles from the slats. Thereafter, it will allow you to breathe freely. A periodic wet wipe will keep your home & office allergy-free.
4. Composite shutters
Shutters come in a wide variety of materials, from wood, vinyl, aluminium, faux wood, and other composites. The hard nature of this window treatment is less likely to invite allergy germs than soft treatments.
5. Eco-friendly window treatment
People can be allergic to almost anything or everything, regardless of the season. If your family members are allergic, consider eco-friendly materials for your window coverings. Materials like cotton, linen, silk, wood, jute, and bamboo fibre can be naturally hypoallergenic.
Window blinds & shutter made of jute or bamboo fibre and wood gives your home an aesthetic and vintage look.
Some pro tips for allergy prevention:
- Even though we lean for soft, light, and transparent fabric, always check out the capability of its allergy prevention.
- Never opt for curtains and drapes as they can catch dust in bulk leading to severe allergy problems. But even if you do so, remember to select allergy-resistant fabric.
- Try to install an air purifier by the window.
- Know the expected time when the allergens take flight. Keeping your windows closed then can be a trick to avoid allergy suffering to some extent.
