Best Kitchen Window Treatments for Homes
The kitchen is a wonderful place in the home. Some might even say that it is the heart of the home. We tend to agree with this, as the kitchen is the place where we try new recipes, cook delicious dinners with family, and entertain her friends before heading into the living room or back patio for a relaxing night. However, there is one struggle when it comes to our kitchens: deciding which window treatments are the best for the space.
At first, you might think that we mean finding the best window treatments that look good in our kitchens. While we do want a window treatment that looks lovely in our kitchens, we also want window treatment that can withstand the heat and moisture that is often seen in the space. If you don’t find the right window treatment that can stand up these elements, you will face your window treatments bowing, stretching, discoloring, and a replacement process occurring far sooner than you would like. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas offers a variety of options for you to choose from when it comes to the best kitchen window treatments. Read on to learn more.
Moisture-Resistant Window Treatments
The best kitchen window treatments are ones that can withstand sun, heat, and moisture like a champ. After all, our kitchens take quite a beating when it comes to the elements, so your window treatments need to step up to the plate! If you cook frequently or your stove is near a window, you want window treatments that are durable and easy to clean. Spills happen, after all! For this need, we recommend Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds, EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds, and Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters. These window treatments are made from materials that specifically will not warp, crack, fade, chip, peel or discolor regardless of what you are cooking in the kitchens. This also makes them a great choice for windows near a sink, as hot water is used to clean dishes.
Insulating Window Treatments
Many kitchens feature sliding glass doors that lead out to your back yard or wide window expanses that let you see out into the great outdoors as you cook. With this in mind, you might notice that your kitchen gets really hot in the summer and really cold in the winter. Without proper insulation, your home’s energy is walking right on out of your home and letting the outside air move inside. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades add a layer of insulation to your windows to prevent this. Another perk of these shades is that they feature the Top-Down / Bottom-Up functionality. This lets you open your shades from the bottom or from the top, allowing you to create the perfect balance of privacy, shade, and/or natural light. These are just a few reasons why Duette® Honeycomb Shades are the best kitchen window treatments.
