Your Window Covering New Year Resolutions!
Here it is! The end of 2020 and the New Year right around the corne! This time on the blog we’re do something a little bit different, it’s all about New Year Resolutions and, more specifically, how they coincide with window coverings because c’mon, we have to!
This Year…
I Will Care For My Window Coverings!
You take care of your blinds, shutters, or shades and they’ll take care of you! They don’t need weekly cleaning, but planning and sticking to a routine maintenance schedule will do your coverings a lot of good! We’ve talked about the right ways to care for them plenty so we’ll leave you with a few resources to help! Simply find your type of window coverings, follow the instructions and enjoy clean, well cared for coverings!
I Will Use Them For What They’re Designed!
Well, just what does that mean I hear you thinking. It means you’ll use them to control the light, create privacy, and enhance your views! It means remembering that these window coverings are all enhancements to your living indoors, making your rooms more comfortable, and beautiful. Open them up, raise or lower to your hearts content, but whatever you do make sure you’re enjoying your home to the fullest!
I Will Upgrade My Window Coverings… Finally!
Many folks out there still have the mini blinds their home came with when they first moved in. I’ll upgrade those eventually they think. Well, now is the time! Whether you need a window covering that better insulates your home, reduces glare, or just flat out looks better there’s never been a better time to upgrade. Last year was…. Well it was certainly a year. Treat yourself to newer, cleaner, smarter windows!
I Will Improve My Home’s Insulation and Performance!
This one is a great goal, especially here in Arizona! Insulating your house now before the summer hits will save you a ton on cooling, and come winter will save you money there too! We shouldn’t leave the whole job up to your windows! So if this is your resolution here’s what you should look for to optimize your home’s insulation and comfort.
General Insulation
- Insulate all piping exposed outside
- Insulate your hot water tank with an insulation blanket
Doors
- Install weatherstripping along your door
- Use a door sweep for extra insulation
Windows
- Find air leaks and seal them with caulking
- Use window coverings to better insulate the windows (we talk about this a lot!)
Roofing
- Replace missing or damaged shingles
Outdoor landscape
- Tend to your external air conditioners
- If your deck needs it, seal it before the wet winter ruins it completely
Whatever your New Year’s Resolutions turn out to be, we wish you nothing but the utmost success! If getting your windows upgraded is on your agenda, well you know who to call!
