If you’re like many Georgia Blinds & Interiors customers, you might be wondering how to know when you should replace your window treatments. Having served the greater Atlanta area for years, we still get asked that question more times than we can count. And the answer isn’t the same for each customer. After all, one issue might easily be resolved with a quick repair or cleaning, while another issue might require something more in depth or a replacement. Read on to learn more, and then if you still have questions about your particular situation, speak with one of our representatives today.
Determining Factors
At Georgia Blinds & Interiors, our trained window treatment consultants know the factors to find out about to determine if it is time to replace your window treatments or merely repair and clean them. If any of these is true for you, it might be time for a change: you can’t raise your blinds, you have slats that are broken or discolored, you shades’ fabric has faded, your blinds won’t close properly, you have dangerous dangling cords, you can’t reach your shades to operate them easily, or you want a new look for your room or home.
You Can’t Raise Your Blinds or Shades
As they age, some window treatments begin not operating properly. Sometimes, the problem can be repaired. If it’s not repairable, however, you might need to find something new. We always recommend Hunter Douglas Window Fashions.
Broken Slats or Faded Shades
UV rays from the sun can harm not only your furniture and flooring but also your window treatments. After years in the sun, blinds and shades might show some damage, including cracking, warping, fading, and yellowing. Newer products are designed to protect not only your home but also themselves from the sun. Check out Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters and Everwood® Alternative Wood Blinds, which are guaranteed not to warp or yellow.
Ditching the Cords

Dangling cords can be a choking hazard for small children and pets. Consider replacing your corded window treatments with a cordless option such as the Hunter Douglas LiteRise™ operating system. Another cordless option that is also good for hard-to-reach windows is Hunter Douglas PowerView® Motorization option.
A New Look for Your Home
If you are just tired of your current look, it might be time for a refresh. If you don’t know where to start, let our window treatment specialists help you determine which window treatment fits not only your décor but also your lifestyle and budget.
