5 Tips for Getting Kitchen Window Treatments to Last Longer

  1. Invest in Quality: When we say invest in quality, most people think of quality products, but you also want a quality installation for truly long-lasting window treatments. That's because improperly fitted shades won't operate correctly, which can cause them to wear prematurely. A bad installation can also result in poor window treatment function that will make you want to replace it sooner rather than later. So, for long-lasting kitchen window treatments, investing in quality shades and installation by professionals will help to make your investment worthwhile.
  2. Look for Hard Materials for Heavy Use: Hard materials like faux wood composites can hold up exponentially better than softer materials when it comes to the heavy use that kitchen window treatments often experience daily, as they're engineered to be durable. So, select Hunter Douglas kitchen window treatments made from hard materials like EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds for lasting window treatments. Plus, hard materials like faux wood composites are more impermeable to staining than fabric treatments, giving you kitchen window treatments that will look better for longer.
  3. Opt for Moisture Resistant Materials: In kitchens and bathrooms, there can be higher moisture levels because of all of the water use in the room. As a result, if you want your kitchen window treatments to last and perform long-term in these conditions, you need treatments that are moisture-resistant. Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters have both UV and moisture-resistant properties built into them from the ground up to handle kitchen conditions and the relentless nature of sunlight.
  4. Keep Up on Care & Maintenance: No matter the type of kitchen window treatments you choose for your home, maintenance will be needed to keep the shades in tip-top shape. Blinds and shutters have some of the lowest maintenance needs, requiring only light dusting for routine cleaning.
  5. Make Them Easy to Use: While the physical deterioration of kitchen shades may necessitate their replacement, complicated or annoying shades are just as likely to be replaced prematurely by Miami homeowners. PowerView® Automation makes window treatments for kitchens near Miami, Florida, extremely easy to use with a handheld remote, online app, or synchronization with existing smart home or home assistant programs, futureproofing your window treatments.
