			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you think of your window as a blank canvas, then window treatments are the paint you apply to make that space beautiful.  I was in this situation recently and frankly I was a little blown away by the number of choices available to consumers these days.  I can see why people hire interior decorators. I was so nervous that I would choose the wrong blinds or shades &#8211; that they would look terrible or maybe even worse, there was a better choice that I was ignorant of.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>I believe that there is wisdom in the aggregate; this holds true for selecting window blinds. So, I have compiled a list of our top selling window blinds and shades so help narrow down the list of possible options.  I hope that this brings comfort to those who read this and maybe saves them some time and reduces stress.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The following are the most common choices of window treatments. I believe they are the most common for two primary reasons: they look good, and are reasonably affordable.  In the end, I believe that is what most people want to know.  Will the blinds or shades I am going to purchase look good and not break the bank when I am done?  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>One of the most popular window treatment choices are aluminum and vinyl mini blinds, also called horizontal blinds. Mini blinds are an easy, default choice. You are not going to necessarily win any design awards but they will usually do the trick. Aluminum blinds are best for longevity but if you are on a really tight budget, the vinyl variety will do. Mini blinds come in different slat sizes from micro (1/2 inch) to 1 inch (most common), 1 3/8 inch, and 2 inch.  The larger the slat size the more view-through the blinds provide when the slat are open. This is true for all blinds with slats.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Next up are wood blinds and faux wood blinds. Both types are solid choices for almost any décor. Wood blinds are usually made from basswood or other hardwoods and come in several different stained finishes. Faux wood blinds are either vinyl or a wood composite. Faux wood blinds are a better choice for hot and humid locations and rooms as they are more durable and will not warp or crack. Just like mini blinds, wood and faux wood offer different slat sizes.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Cellular shades are another popular option. They look good and offer great energy efficiency because of their design. Cellular shades come in different pleat sizes, the most common choice being the 3/8 and ¾ inch variety.  Cell shades also come in single, double and triple cell, depending on how much insulation you need or want. The most common choice is the single cell.   </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Vertical blinds are far and away the top choice for large windows and sliding glass doors. Vertical blinds come in vinyl, aluminum, fabric, faux wood and even cellular. The vinyl variety is the most affordable and the most common. They will look good but, again, not win you any design awards. If you are looking for a different option for large window consider panel tracks.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Last up are roller shades. Roller shades, fortunately, have come a long ways from those cheap vinyl ones. Roller shades come in a great variety of fabrics, materials and colors that can look surprisingly attractive and upscale. Roller shades are also a great choice if you want a room-darkening or blackout option, like in bedrooms. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>There are many other options to consider, for examples roman shades, solar shades, pleated shades and then there are drapes. I am not going to go into those. I wanted to simplify not confuse.     </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>              How to buy low cost blinds and shutters in Augusta.<br />
The average consumer purchases new window fashions every 6 years. So if you&#8217;re in the market for new blinds, shades or shutters, this short article will help you decide which products are best for you. As a professional window covering consultant I get asked all the time a few questions which I will answer here. <br />
One of the questions I get most often is &#8220;Will this still be in style next year?&#8221; That&#8217;s a great question and the answer is-who knows? Styles change fairly rapidly and so do consumers&#8217; tastes. The key is to buy neutral tones that match virtually any décor. The most common product we sell is a white 2&#8243; wood blind or a white shutter. You start running the risk of &#8220;out of style&#8221; when you buy trendy products like woven woods or bamboo products. If you stay in the neutral tones and time tested products you&#8217;ll be fine. If you want color in a room, use paint or fabric. Throw pillows are a perfect way to add interest to a room. Experiment with paint on a few walls. It can be dramatic and fun.<br />
Are Mini-Blinds Still in Style? Yes, I&#8217;ve done several jobs in the last year using the old-style mini blinds. They look great in ultra contemporary homes. They come in many new and exciting colors and they are coated with an antistatic to minimize the need for dusting. These blinds can also be cleaned quickly and inexpensively. Mini-Blinds are now made of tempered aluminum which minimizes bending. However, if you price compare, you can upgrade to the much nicer and far more popular 2&#8243; wood blind for a few dollars more. <br />
Are Wood Blinds Still in Style? Yes, 60% of all blinds sold are 2&#8243; wood or 2&#8243; faux wood blinds. Last year the faux blinds out sold the real woods. Wood Blinds seem to be timeless. They&#8217;ve been around since the early 1900&#8242;s. They come in dozens of colors and stains. If you are planning to buy stained woods, make sure you purchase Bass Wood. Bass Wood is from the American Lyndon tree and is a Clear Select wood. That&#8217;s means it stains well. If you&#8217;re buying white or a painted color, it&#8217;s very unlikely it&#8217;s made from Bass Wood due to shortages. Most likely it&#8217;s made from Poplar or Alder. <br />
What are the Advantages of Faux Wood Blinds? They cost 20-30% less, you can leave your windows open and not destroy the blind, and you can wash them with the garden hose. Yes, they weigh more but how often do you pull your blind up? There are at least 6 different materials from which faux wood blinds are made. At the bottom of the barrel you have a solid vinyl. They warp and have several extra ladder strings to keep the slats from warping. I&#8217;ve seen many of these blinds warp hours after installation. You&#8217;re most likely to find such products at large hardware stores. They work well for rentals or your dog house. If you&#8217;re looking for a better product, you&#8217;re going to order custom made products. The best is a bass wood dust mixed with a polymer and coated with polypropylene. It&#8217;s much more rigid and far more stable<br />
How do I Order Custom Blinds and Shutters? First you&#8217;ll need to find a certified window covering consultant. Most certified window covering consultants are certified by the Blind Brokers Network. BBN members are able to purchase blinds and shutters directly from any number of manufacturers. Your local certified consultant is Augusta Blinds and Shutters at 706-466-5860.<br />
Will I Save Money if I Order and Install for Myself? Possibly, but unlikely. We&#8217;re able to measure order and install for less than you going to a large hardware store and doing it yourself. Never attempt to install shutters yourself. One simple mistake can cost you hundreds of dollars per window. Always call a professional to measure, order and install your shutters. <br />
How do I get The best Shutters at Great pricing? According to experts around the globe, the best shutter in the world is the WoodLore by Norman Shutters. (I agree) It&#8217;s made from engineered wood and coated in Polypropylene. The WoodLore has a wide assortment of frames and colors. The WoodLore is made to stringent standards and has the lowest return rate in the industry. Norman Shutters changed the shutter industry 10 years ago and every other shutter manufacturer has been chasing them ever since. <br />
Are Shutters Made in China Any Good? Shutters made in China have better finishes, better workmanship and are less expensive. The delivery time is about 4-6 weeks. Shutters made in America take 3-8 weeks to get and come in two different categories. First, if the shutter is made from materials imported from China, you&#8217;ll get a very good shutter. If the shutter is milled and painted here in the US, you get an inferior finish due to EPA regulations. The cost is greatly increased due to the higher cost of doing business in the US. Shutters made in Mexico take 3-8 weeks and cost the same as US made shutters. The units I have seen have some pretty serious quality issues. <br />
Why should you use Augusta Shutters and Blinds? Price, service and selection. However we go 10 steps beyond the standard. We prefer to take an educational approach to our service. It you view our blog you&#8217;ll notice videos on how to buy the best products at the best prices. On our web site you&#8217;ll find a Free report on buying blinds and shutters.

We believe that to be the best we must have the best information to serve you. It is our pleasure to serve you.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to large windows, such as sliding patio doors and large bay windows, vertical blinds are pretty much the standard choice.  They are highly functional, affordable and look pretty good.  But, you aren’t likely to win any interior design awards.  What you may not have known about vertical blinds is that they come with more than just vinyl slats.  Truly amazed and excited at this point?  THen, this may be the article you’ve been waiting for.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The first major option for vertical blinds is the cellular option.  Vertical cellular shades have the same properties as cellular shades – insulation.  So, if you want to make your windows more energy efficient you should seriously consider this option.  Vertical cellular shades besides offering the insulating honeycomb feature come in different textures and even lace, if that fits your design ideas.  Vertical cellular blinds are on the mid-to-high end of the price spectrum for vertical blinds.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Next up in the expansive world of vertical blinds are the fabric variety.  Fabric vertical blinds have soft fabric vanes with weighted bottoms.  They offer a softer look and feel as well as quieter operation and more style options.  Fabric verticals come in a wide variety of fabrics including weaves, solids, textured solids and patterns in a variety colors.  It is my opinion that using fabric vertical blinds is a nice compliment to windows with drapes.  Fabric cellular blinds are on the low-to-mid end of the price spectrum for vertical blinds.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>As if that weren’t enough, vertical blinds also some with faux wood slats.  These are made from the same materials as horizontal faux wood blinds and are a good choice if you have faux wood blinds in a room, for a coordinated look.  Faux wood vertical blinds also come in the same color choices as horizontal faux woods.  Faux wood blinds are on the low end of the price spectrum for vertical blinds, similar in price to vinyl verticals.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Lastly, vertical blinds also come with aluminum slats.  Vertical aluminum blinds are the right choice for modern-style decors.  If your home or apartment has lots of steel and glass, aluminum vertical blinds will compliment this décor well with their crisp edges.  They coordinate well with mini blinds, especially aluminum.  Aluminum verticals do not offer a wide variety of color choices probably because the consumer interested in them has very specific design plans.  Aluminum cellular blinds are on the high end of the price spectrum for vertical blinds but they are very durable and long-lasting.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>There are, of course, vinyl vertical blinds.  It seems a little redundant to mention them as there are probably not many people who aren’t aware of them and their attributes but, for the sake of completeness, I will. Vinyl vertical blinds are made from PVC plastic and come in a variety of colors, textures and patterns.  They are durable and light weight and easy to clean.  Vinyl verticals are also, typically, the most affordable type of vertical blinds but, are sometimes about equal with faux wood verticals.       </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Real wooden blinds or faux wooden blinds, that seems to be what many people are asking these days. In this economic downturn, people are going back to the tried and true classic design styles. Let&#8217;s face it; you just can&#8217;t go wrong with wood.</p>
<p>Still, you have to answer the question whether to buy real wood or faux wood blinds and that can be difficult if you do not know the differences.</p>
<p><strong>Water Issues</strong><br />The biggest difference between real <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://www.blindschalet.com/" target="_blank">wooden blinds</a> and faux wooden blinds is the way they handle water. When it comes to water and humidity, real wood just does not cut it. Unfortunately, if you live in a humid place or if you want to hang the blinds in the bathroom or laundry room, then you won&#8217;t want to use real wood.</p>
<p>However, faux wood is perfect for those situations. They will not bend, crack or warp due to high humidity levels. The PVC or vinyl material allows them to stand up to the harsh conditions.</p>
<p>Since faux wood looks like real wood, you can easily put real wood in the rest of the house and put the faux wood in these high humidity areas. No one will ever know that they are different.</p>
<p><strong>Weight Issues</strong><br />The other major difference is the weight. Although weight is rarely a factor for blinds, it can make a difference when covering a large area like a sliding glass door or a bay window.</p>
<p>Faux wood is heavier than real wood. Thus, it is not recommended for covering such large areas. It requires more ladders for support, which makes it look a little odd. Additionally, the weight makes it harder to install and harder to maneuver. Ideally, you would want to put real wood in for large areas.</p>
<p>Since real wood is much lighter, they install easier and are easier to handle. This makes them a very popular choice for vertical blinds. Not to mention, the wood blinds are more likely to stand up to the harsh treatment that generally goes along with vertical blinds.</p>
<p><strong>Price Issues</strong><br />Often times, people choose blinds solely on the price. If you are looking for the cheapest blinds, then you would want aluminum blinds. However, while aluminum is cheaper, you have to be more careful with them. They can crease and break if handled improperly, which is why people prefer faux wood blinds.</p>
<p>Faux wood blinds are very hardy and can stand up to rough treatment. They are considerably cheaper than real wood making them a great option. In addition to their low price, you can purchase faux wood in a variety of styles and colors. Plus, they will stay that color for years to come.</p>
<p>Now that you are familiar with the differences, you can make an informed decision on the proper window treatment for your home. After all, the only wise decision is the informed decision.</p></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are lots of benefits of buying from mega retailers. You can buy almost anything there and they usually offer cheaper prices than you find other places, but the quality is often lacking. When you&#8217;re looking for blinds or window treatments, doesn&#8217;t it make more sense to buy ones that aren&#8217;t going to fall apart in the first year? Constantly replacing blinds will end up costing you more than buying quality blinds in the first place. Custom window treatments are made to order and with independent retailers moving online, the process is fast, simple and convenient. When you decide it&#8217;s time for window treatments for your home, think about the following:</p>
<p>1.    One of the reasons people shop in super stores is because they offer a little bit of everything, so you can shop in one place, which is convenient. The only problem is you end up sacrificing quality for quantity. If you want quality mini blinds and window treatments, then head on-line where you get better products for the best prices on the market. Because independent stores specialize in one line of products, they order in bulk and get the best deals to pass on to you. They will custom create your window blinds so they fit your window, even the odd-shaped ones. No more extra slats hanging down.</p>
<p>2.    Shoppers are always looking for the cheapest price because window treatments are an investment. On-line stores don&#8217;t have the expensive costs of downtown retail space. They can operate out of smaller more affordable sites and every dime they save becomes savings they can pass on to you. Custom stores have a larger selection of goods than the big guys and they stand behind their products. </p>
<p>3.    When you want knowledgeable people that can give you advice or help you decide what fabric shade or window liner you need, there&#8217;s no competition. Independent stores train their staff on their products. With thousands of items in all categories, the employees at huge stores are lucky if they even know all the products they have.</p>
<p>4.    Finding the best custom window treatment for your home can be tricky if you are trying to work within a specific color scheme. Independent stores will let you order samples. These are small swatches of the color and fabrics you want to try out, so you can hold them up against your furniture and paint and see if they will match. </p>
<p>5.    Another benefit of independent stores operating on-line is they are easy to use. With a click of a button, your mini blinds, drapes, roller shades and more are delivered right to your home. Free shipping will help you save money as will sales tax exemption for those ordering out of the state of the company.</p>
<p>As a consumer, you have a ton of choices of where you can spend your money. So when you decide to make an investment in something like window blinds or treatments, be sure you are getting not only the best price, but the best quality window treatments out there. You will save money if you buy a blind that will last for ten years instead of ones that only go to filling up the landfills after a year.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter whether you have a new home you want to stylize or if you have a home that you want to update and make feel new, there is a window treatment that will compliment your unique style, from drapes to blinds to wood and faux wood blinds, single and double cell shades and more. Find an independent retailer near you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Window blinds are chosen for several different reasons and for many types of environments.  It’s very easy to measure for window blinds and the installation is simple, requiring only a few basic tools.  What should you consider when looking at window blinds?  Here are a few thoughts:  appearance, privacy, sun and light control, energy efficiency, and ease of operation, to name a few.  One other consideration is whether the room into which the blind will be installed experiences high humidity or is exposed to harsh weather elements.</p>
<p>Vinyl window blinds are a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications.  They are an economical choice compared to wood blinds, faux wood blinds, or shutters.  Mini vinyl window blinds are often used in rental properties such as apartments, condominiums, or single-family homes.  They’re also favored for commercial properties, businesses, pool houses, and public restrooms.  Residential applications might include, but aren’t limited to, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms, utility rooms, and sunrooms.</p>
<p>Vinyl window blinds come in an array of colors and textures.  You can literally match just about any décor with a custom color of vinyl window covering.  Some styles of vinyl blinds can be outfitted with a textured material that will look like fabric.  These are especially nice for those rooms you may want to spruce up without spending a lot of money. </p>
<p>Vinyl roller shades have come a long way in past years.  They are now available in neutral and basic shades, as well as a few colors to help you compliment your décor.  Vinyl roller shades offer complete privacy and can be paired with attractive window fashions if desired.</p>
<p>What are the advantages of choosing vinyl window blinds?<br />· Maintenance is simple – wipe them down periodically or hang them on a clothesline and spray with a hose and allow to air dry<br />· Vinyl blinds are practical and functional<br />· They won’t rot, mold, or mildew like other window blind materials<br />· Vinyl blinds are easy on the budget<br />· Vinyl resists tearing, staining, and scratching – especially good in a rental property<br />· Excellent light control by keeping them open, slightly open, or closed<br />· Easy to install yourself, saving money on professional installation<br />· Resistant to the sun’s rays – won’t bleach or fade over time<br />· Slat width varies, so you can fit any window<br />· Option available to mount inside the window frame or outside the window frame</p>
<p>Although there are several advantages and benefits of vinyl window fashions, there are a few disadvantages associated with this style of window covering.  One disadvantage is that vinyl is not an insulating material because there isn’t a way to make it airtight.  If you desire to have energy efficient blinds to help with heating and cooling bills, vinyl window blinds may not be the best choice.  Another disadvantage of vinyl window blinds is that many of them come in standard sizes only and can’t always be custom fit to your windows.  If you are purchasing from an online company, ask about the sizes prior to make a decision.  It really comes back to the reason you’re purchasing window blinds – for appearance, insulating qualities, or decorative accents.</p>
<p>Overall, vinyl window blinds, shades, and vertical blinds are an economical and attractive choice for your residential or commercial properties.</p>
