Why install Durasol Solar Shades from Major Blinds?

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Durasol shading systems are designed to filter out the majority of the sun’s negative effects, while maintaining your outdoor view & allowing you to have full control over interior lighting.

This means no more annoying glare on your television screen, and no more blinding light pouring in as you try to read. Plus, your solar screen greatly reduces damaging UV rays that can destroy your home’s valuable furnishings & artwork.

A DuraShade solar screen will help to prolong the life of your drapes, carpets, wood floors, furniture and more.

Durasol offers specifically-designed, interior-mounted shading systems that can completely block outdoor light or simply darken a room. Add privacy to a bedroom or bathroom, or darken a media room — we can custom design a system to meet your unique needs.

Major Blinds proudly offers Durasol Solar Shades & Awnings in Seattle, and all of Western WA.

Please give us a call at (888) 662-5672 for your free in-home consultation. One of our highly trained window fashion consultants will come to your Seattle area home, at your convenience, with all the options offered by Durasol to help you find the right look, color and filtration for your home.

Saving Energy with Window Coverings

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

With the economy crumbling & an uncertain future, many of us find ourselves looking to improve what we already own instead of buying something new.

Home improvement has made a comeback!  Homeowners are replacing roofs, installing siding, painting interiors & exteriors, and replacing their old worn out appliances.

Another popular home improvement is replacing or adding new window treatments.

While that may sound like a trivial improvement, it most definitely is not.  Did you know that by adding certain blinds to your home you could decrease your heating and cooling bills?  Save furniture and flooring from fading?  Add additional value to your home, without excessive cost?

A Durasol interior or exterior solar shade can reduce your monthly bills & decrease the temperature of your home by as much as 20 degrees.

Duette Architella honeycomb shades by Hunter Douglas, with its state-of-the-art patented honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design offers the industry’s highest level of energy efficiency.  They can reduce your energy loss by up to 50%.

Custom plantation shutters not only increase the look of your home, they are the only window covering that are actually included in the appraised value of your home.

Panel Accents Sliding Panels by Graber offer an alternative to standard window treatments.  Panel Accents are ideal for patio doors & wide windows. They can also be mounted on a ceiling to make the perfect room divider or closet door alternative.

As you can see, there are many window treatment coverings options available to increase the value of your home & decrease you monthly electricity bills.

Major Blinds offers many options to help you improve the look & feel of your home. We will send out a trained window fashion consultant to help you with your home’s window coverings improvement needs.

Enjoying Summertime in the Pacific Northwest

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Summer has arrived in the beautiful Pacific Northwest! We all like to head outdoors to enjoy the sunshine & gorgeous scenery.  We have BBQs, get-togethers and share late nights under the stars with friends & loved ones.

Why not enhance your outdoor experience with a retractable awning?

Awnings provide much needed shade during our hot summer days & help to block the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Awnings also provide coverage from those unexpected summer showers.

Just imagine being able to enjoy your patio, deck or backyard without the worry of overheating, sunburn or a sudden downpour.

You can easily create a comfortable shaded outdoor living space that will increase the value of your home while expanding you home’s outdoor entertainment options.

If you would like help in creating an outdoor living space, by adding a retractable awning that you will enjoy year-after-year, please give Major Blinds a call at (888) 662-5672.
