Pick the Right Window Solutions to Help Manage Allergies
Achoo!
According to the Asthma and Allergy Association of America, more than 50 million Americans suffer from all sorts of allergies each year. At different times of the year, various allergens are prevalent, making allergies the sixth leading cause of chronic illness. If you’re planning a 2023 upgrade for your window solutions, there are options that will make allergy season an easier one in your household. Shutters, Blinds, and Shades can not only enhance homes in Nutley, West Essex, and Caldwell from a style standpoint, they can be functional too.
Inhalant allergies, or airborne substances you breathe in, fall into two categories. Allergens that are perennial will impact you anytime in the year whereas seasonal allergens are periodic. For anyone who battles itchy, watery eyes or a runny nose, you know how insidious allergens can be. Perennial allergens are common in your home, including pet dander and saliva, dust mites, and molds with spores that float in the air. If pollen is your arch nemesis, you already do your best to avoid the fine dust caused by grass, weeds, or trees in the spring and fall, depending upon where you reside.
Mitigating the effect of allergy symptoms often starts by making your home as free of inhalant allergens as possible. Picking the right window solutions can make your home less likely to capture and contain these allergens that float in the air including dander and pollen. Think natural Woven Woods and Wood or Composite Blinds for your home in Nutley or Montclair.
Anyone who eschews carpeting, decorative pillows or throws rugs to ensure that their home is less susceptible to holding allergens may already know that window solutions can be a source that contributes to allergy malaise. Some types of Drapes or curtains can trap these particles Let’s explore some of the most allergy-friendly options for your home:
