Not to worry - the expert window treatment professionals at Strickland's have you covered. Of all shades, cellular and pleated shades offer the most variety.

When Hunter Douglas developed its innovative Silhouette Window Shadings, the company created an entirely new category of window coverings. Silhouette Window Shadings were born of customers' desire for a product that combined the versatility of a tilting louvered blind with the softness and tight stacking of a shade. Using their signature S-vane, Hunter Douglas did just that. Imagine gently pulling on a cord at the side of the window and watching a sheer, soft fabric shade lower from a clean, fabric-covered head rail.
Whether your home is modern or traditional, vertical blinds can fit right in. Vertical blinds are one of the most versatile window treatments; they work well on wide windows and doors, in sun rooms, on picture windows, and on patio doors. The beauty of vertical blinds is the ability to adjust vanes to control the direction, as well as the amount of light, coming into the room. Vertical blinds may be drawn open for a completely unobstructed view or drawn closed for privacy and light control. Vertical louvers come in a variety of opacities, ranging from perforated (which allow a filtered view of the outside) to blackout PVC, to fabrics.
As one of the latest innovations in window coverings from Hunter Douglas, Pirouette window shadings bring "artistry to windows". Combining the functionality of Silhouette with the look of a Roman Shade, Pirouette Window Shadings are uniquely designed with soft, horizontal fabric vanes attached to a single sheer backing. As a result, Pirouette window shadings control light in an entirely new way. Pirouette Window Shadings offer variable levels of light control as well as the option of an unobstructed view or complete privacy.
A classic choice for centuries, wood blinds remain one of the best and most popular window treatments for any home. They have a natural warmth and richness that cannot be duplicated with synthetic products. They also offer versatility for your dcor as they can be painted to match your trim or a stained to match your furniture or flooring. In traditional homes, this window covering type is a perfect complement to Plantation shutters. Wood blinds consist of a horizontal wood slat that can be tilted 180 degrees to control light and provide various levels of privacy.
What's the most common question we hear in the window coverings industry? We don't want to block our view, but we do want to control the light and heat coming in the room. Solar energy is great if you are growing a garden or charging solar panels, but it can be terrible for your electricity bill. It can also fading your rugs and artwork, and cast glare on your big screen TV or computer monitor. In a home or office, control solar energy is essential. Solar shades are high-tech roller shades, made using a solar screen fabric.

If you like the look of fine wide slat wooden blinds, but need something practical for less money, consider faux wood (also called 'alternative wood') blinds. These horizontal blinds consist of slats made from synthetic materials or polymer compounds to resemble hard woods. The slats can be tilted 180 degrees to control the amount of light coming into a room, reduce glare and prevent fading. They can also darken a room for sleeping or watching television. Because of their polymer construction, faux wood blinds are unaffected by moisture and humidity, making them ideal for the kitchen, the bathroom, or even a pool shower room.
