Blinds are a pretty basic part of home design, but they are often overlooked. Sometimes people don’t even have blinds over all of their windows because they can simply be overlooked. Here are 5 benefits that having blinds on all of your windows will afford you.
- Insulation: One not so obvious advantage of blinds is their ability to insulate your home. While temperature can easily pass by the blinds through the air, having blinds in combination with windows can stop hot air from escaping or the warmth of the sun from getting in.
- UV Light: Certain tints and coatings on windows can be great at stopping UV light, but one of the best ways to avoid UV light is blocking it with blinds. Blinds can greatly reduce UV light coming in by blocking a lot of the light coming in.
- Privacy: While often windows are tinted and prevent people from looking inside, they feel less secure than blinds. Blinds can add an extra level of privacy that will prevent anyone from looking inside your home at any point.
- Style: There are many kinds of blinds that you can customize your home with. Blinds can add a fair bit of style to any window or glass door in your home.
- Cheap: Unlike window tinting and other solutions, blinds are much cheaper by comparison. While they can get very expensive with the purchase of fancy blinds, they tend to be very affordable while affording all of the above advantages.
While blinds are a fairly benign thing, they should not be overlooked. The amount of benefits they provide are why they are a worthy addition to any home.
