5 reasons to choose custom made window coverings

Whether you're building, renovating, or simply restyling your home, it's often tempting to cut corners to save time or money.

However, even when the other costs associated with your project start to add up, it's important not to compromise on the customisation of your window coverings. While there are some affordable and readily available window coverings on the market, they often lack durability, are made from inferior materials, and may not fit seamlessly with your space.

Some even pose safety risks, and most don't offer the level of sophistication or quality that can make an all-important difference to your interiors.

Luxaflex® window coverings are completely customised and have been for over 70 years. Here are five reasons why we believe you should always choose customised window coverings for your home.

Even though cheaper window coverings may appeal initially, evidence shows that choosing a quality solution can actually save you money over time.

Luxaflex® Duette® Shades, for instance, have a unique honeycomb 'cell' structure that traps air and acts as an insulation barrier for windows. These smart air pockets can reduce the heat transfer through a window and reduce your home's energy costs. Similarly, when it comes to outdoor awnings, our special fabrics can help eliminate up to 95% of solar heat. This delivers long-term energy savings and can help keep your home comfortable no matter what the weather is. Luxaflex® products are all designed to be durable, low maintenance, and easy to clean. Plus, they are backed by our warranty for peace of mind.

Window coverings aren't just about aesthetics.

They can also serve a range of important functions - whether it's blocking out light in a bedroom or TV room, creating filtered light in a living area, protecting interiors from the harsh sun, or helping to reduce a home's heating and cooling costs. The wide range of Luxaflex® blinds, awnings, and shutters can help you control the way that light flows through your home. All of our window coverings are measured and installed by skilled technicians to ensure they're a perfect fit for your home. And all products are engineered and thoroughly tested to meet high-quality standards and performance levels.

When you choose a custom-made window covering, you also get the advantage of being able to choose from a range of fabrics, finishes and operating systems.

Our expert retailers can walk you through the full range of options and recommend those that are an ideal fit for your home. With our fabric blinds you can choose from a range of beautifully curated fabrics and opacity levels, depending on how much light you want to let in and the amount of privacy you need.

• Sheer - softly filters sunlight and offers a view through the window, whilst maintaining a discreet level of privacy.
• Translucent - creates a soft, ambient light by filtering harsh light and dispersing it evenly throughout the room, whilst still providing daytime privacy.
• Room-Darkening - provides maximum light and privacy control, and is perfect for bedrooms, as well as media rooms and home theatres.

Luxaflex® window treatments are designed with fabrics and materials that offer beauty, functionality, durability, and sustainability.

With a customised solution, you can also optimise the safety of your home for young children and pets. In a child's bedroom, things like unrestrained cords can be potential safety hazards.

At Luxaflex® our range of child-safe operation options are designed with safety in mind with easy-to-use cordless and convenient PowerView® smart home control.

With a custom-made solution, you can ensure that your window coverings are both safe and convenient - for the whole family.
