The ground is thawing after winter’s usual antics. We’ll be spending good, long hours outside in the sunshine before long. Your friends at Nu-View Custom Window Treatments welcome that as much as anyone, and we want to remind you that the time is nearly here.

The time for what? The time to add some style to your living space. And what makes your room even more comfortable? A solar shade from Nu View.

We’ve been doing this work in the Chicago area and we’re darn good at it. But that’s not why we think you should have an awning. It’s why we think you should have an awning from Nu View.

Shutters add dramatic décor while shutting out or letting in sunlight. It would be a shame if the tiniest little thing interfered with this beauty.

And that’s what happens. Those tiny little things are dust motes. Yes, common house dust.

It’s an allergen, it’s annoying, and it really becomes distracting when the sun pours through the windows to highlight its presence. Dusty blinds contribute to this air show of floating particles.

It’s about the easiest problem to control. Because shutters are so easy to clean and do not require a ton of care, you need only a few minutes to handle this chore.

For wood blinds, a soft cloth with a spritz of furniture polish on it will return the blinds to their shiny, pristine state. Why this recommendation? Because you want to keep water, which may cause warpage, away from wood blinds.

Aluminum, plastic, and faux wood blinds, on the other hand, can be wiped with a wet cloth. It will not harm them. Water with a bit of dish detergent will be an effective cleaning tool – just dry the blinds afterward.

Blinds are a wonderful addition to any room. They let light in or keep light and heat out and they can be raised or lowered to change the atmosphere entirely. They’re decorative and dramatic.

You will enjoy them even more if you keep them clean. When the sun shines in, your housekeeping skills are on display. Dust motes are always visible in bright light.

How do we keep the blinds neat and in their best working order? We suggest you dust them at least once a week. Cleaning tip: Close the blinds and dust in the direction of the slats. A soft cloth or a duster (feather or microfiber) should do the job.

Cleaning should be a consideration before purchase and installation. If you’re not keen on wielding a dust cloth, you might want to consider something other than a blind with slats.

The simplest to clean are cellular shades, which possess anti-static and dust-repelling properties. Use your vacuum cleaner’s brush attachment to make a gentle pass across the fabric to pick up any dust.

Keeping the blinds clean is also important if you like to have your windows open. Summer and fall can be vicious times for allergy sufferers, and you will certainly see pollen accumulating on blinds if you’ve been letting in fresh air. Rather than sneeze endlessly, get a cloth on those blinds, clean them well, and then rinse the cloth.

Buying shades is a tricky art. Depending on the location, orientation, and climate of your home, your needs will be completely specific to your living situation. When the winter months come, will you need heat, light, or both? Nu-View Custom Window Treatments has a wealth of options tailored to your needs. Here are a few of the best options for the winter months.

Cellular Shades

These shades are a particularly effective form of insulation. They are designed with small air pockets running between several layers of fabric, which are temperature stable and trap a remarkable amount of heat inside. If you have these shades installed, keep an eye on your thermostat. You’ll likely want it on less often in the future!

Pleated Shades

A cost-effective and versatile option, pleated shades are a popular choice for many homeowners. These shades are composed of a single-layered fabric that naturally folds in pleats as you retract the shade. They are thin, light, and let in a lot of natural sun, perfect for letting in the last of the rays in the darker winter months

Roman Shades

These shades are a single layer of fabric elegantly folded over itself, that drops naturally as it is lowered in front of the window. Superlative privacy and heat insulation are the primary benefits of these fashionable shades. 

Wood Blinds

Blinds made of wood are often chosen for their aesthetic value. They can really bring together the look of a room, but they are valuable for their insulating properties as well. Nu-View stocks a menagerie of wooden blinds and shutters, perfect for a wide selection of styles and homes.

Roller Shades

One of the classics, roller shades are compact and a breeze to use. Rolling up into a discreet tube, these shades take up minimal space and come in blackout and sheer versions, perfect for creating lighting consistency in houses with many different windows and natural light levels.
