What Window Treatments To Get When Replacing Broken Window Blinds in Baltimore?

August 24, 2020

You can’t believe it. One of the metal blinds that was installed by the previous owner snapped a slat again. The time has come for replacing your broken window blinds in Baltimore, ideally with a window treatment more durable, reliable, and more aesthetically pleasing.

Wood blinds or a window shade are a possible alternative and likely won’t need replacement for a while. But if you’re seeking a window treatment that will outlast your time in the home, your best bet is installing customized faux wood options, like our Polywood® shutters.

Consider This When Replacing Broken Window Blinds In Baltimore

The typical lifespan for traditional aluminum blinds is approximately 4 to 7 years -- and they will begin looking tattered well before that. Broken or snapped slats are the typical problem, but aluminum blinds also get twisted, discoloured, and bent. If you checked your blinds right now, there are many possible problems you will find with your aluminum blinds.

Typical metal blinds are cheap to buy and put up, but they are merely a band-aid solution for window treatments and not an investment. They don’t bring much to the table when it comes to reliability, appeal, and functionality. So why switch out broken blinds with the same window treatment that is so easy to damage?

Polywood Products Are the Smart Choice When Replacing Blinds

If you’re considering replacing broken blinds in Baltimore, you should make the move to plantation shutters. Plantation shutters are ideal for Baltimore homeowners because on top of their appealing appearance, they provide a superior method of directing natural light and limiting sun glare. Plantation shutters are also vastly more durable than metal blinds.

And if you want something that will last as long as you’re in the home, you should upgrade even further to a faux wood plantation shutter, like our popular Polywood shutters. These American-engineered shutters won’t damage or warp easily regardless of humidity or sun exposure. The faux wood is moisture-resistant and fire-proof and easy to clean. Our shutters offer peace of mind with a lifetime warranty – a feature you won’t find on an aluminum blind.

Polywood also offers more energy savings than your traditional window treatments. In fact, Polywood offers superior insulation that’s up to 70% more energy-effective than wood shutters and 1600% more than aluminum blinds, meaning your home will be at a reliable and comfortable temperature.

The good news about plantation shutters – on top of their longevity and efficiency -- is that they fit perfectly with your current interior. Unless you want a first-time apartment feeling, aluminum blinds tend to be the wrong choice. But from contemporary to classic, plantation shutters and their thick louvers and cordless tilt-rods seem to always enhance a room.
