How To Choose Bedroom Window Treatments In Fort Myers

When looking for a bedroom window treatment in Fort Myers, light control, energy efficiency, color, installation, and privacy are key things to think about. What’s the best window treatment between shades, plantation shutters, sliding barn doors, and blinds? Consider these 5 things when selecting bedroom window treatments in Fort Myers, FL.

Privacy

Privacy is the primary reason to buy bedroom window treatments. Shades, drapes, and blinds can be an adequate screen from curious passersby. But their often thin material means silhouettes and shadows are noticeable.

Sliding barn doors and plantation shutters, on the other hand, let you have ultimate privacy. The plantation shutter louvers can be moved to close all the way. And bedroom shutters are installed with a frame to ensure there’s no space on the sides of the window. With sliding barn doors, you can slide the panels closed. Depending on how the barn doors are mounted, you might see a slight gap on the sides of the window.

Light Control

When you want to block out an obnoxious street light, ignore the full moon, or sleep in, you need a light-blocking bedroom window treatment. Blinds are not ideal for darkening the room. Most of their material is thin. And light still filters in from the sides.

Certain kinds of shades may give you adequate light blocking. And some blackout curtains can be effective at controlling the light. Some blackout curtains succeed in controlling the light. And certain kinds of shades may give you adequate light blocking. Sliding barn doors are built from solid wood, may block the light head on. However the gap on the sides of the panels does not seal off the light completely.

The frame that comes standard with all plantation shutter types seals off any stray sun rays. And their louvers can lay flat against each other, to create the darkest possible space. Both Ovation® wood and Polywood® shutters louvers can be closed to block out light. But reclaimed wood shutters can have markings and holes that let in light.
