What are the Best Blinds for Small Windows?

Sometimes, with smaller windows, some homeowners may debate whether it’s worth the investment in installing new window coverings. While small windows might not let out as much air as larger windows, small, uncovered windows can still contribute to a home’s energy efficiency. They can also let in a large amount of unwanted light and UV rays into your home. Knowing this, getting the right blinds for a small window is imperative, no matter the size of your window.

What are the Benefits of Covering a Small Window?

Increased Privacy

It is important to cover all windows in the home for privacy because they allow easy access into the inner areas of your home. Adding Hunter Douglas window treatments to your small windows adds a layer of protection, blocking visual access to your home’s inner sanctum. This is useful when residents are at home to protect personal privacy and affords a layer of security while residents are away.

Better Energy Efficiency

For optimal energy efficiency in your South Carolina home, you’ll want to cover as many windows as possible, including small windows, as glass features are some of the biggest culprits for letting energy escape from your home. Adding insulating window treatments helps block unwanted energy loss to help keep home interiors more consistently comfortable. A bonus—they do it without drawing more energy for a lower carbon footprint and, correspondingly, lower energy bills.

Expertly Managed Light

By letting in natural sunlight, you can help create more open, spacious, and welcoming areas in your home. However, you don’t want that sunlight to come in uncontrolled. Natural sunlight can be damaging because of its UV content, and too much sunlight can overwhelm a space. Using the right small window treatment can give you control while still creating that open, inviting feel.
