Buyer’s guide to window blinds

When selecting blinds, think about practicality. If you need to block out the light in a child’s bedroom, opt for blinds with a blackout coating.
Sheer blinds maximise the light, slatted blinds adjust to block the sun. 
Alternatively you can relax and let a blind company like us at Florida Blinds, LLC measure up then recommend what we believe is best for the look and budget you have in mind.

BUY THE BEST ROLLER BLINDS / ROLLER SHADES
Rollers are chic, simple and they come in a vast array of colours and patterns with shading options ranging from sheer right through to blackout. 

CHOOSE VERSATILE VENETIAN BLINDS
Florida Blinds #1 selling option is our 2 inch cordless horizontal blinds in Snow White (other sizes and colors are available) Horizontal blinds allow you to control both the amount of light and the level of privacy simply by tilting the slats. 
Faux or real Wooden Venetian blinds have a back-to-nature beauty that’s hard to beat. You’ll find natural, stained and painted finishes – wide slats up to 3 inches will give a room contemporary appeal. Aluminium blinds come with super-slim slats for a minimalist look and have the advantage of shrugging off moisture so they’re a good choice for bathrooms and shower rooms. 

PICK A SLIDING PANEL BLIND FOR A CONTEMPORARY VIBE

Is it a blind, is it a curtain? Panel blinds fall somewhere between the two, and they’re the ultimate in minimalist design, ideal for showing off fabric to advantage.  These elegant blinds look best on tall, broad windows, for example in a glazed extension.  Held taut at the top and bottom and running on a multi-track, panel blinds stack neatly behind one another when opened.

Plantation shutters are considered
the best option for lots of reasons....

How Much Do Plantation Shutters Cost, and How Do They Pay Off?

Plantation shutters are window blinds with wide wooden louvers or slats and framed and open like doors. as well. as. tilt.  Indoor Shutters may hail from the South, but they're everywhere these days, because they make a dramatic decor statement without looking flashy. Which might have you wondering: How much do plantation shutters cost?

Granted, as far as window treatments go, they don't come cheap.

According to Home Advisor, homeowners typically spend a total of around $2,000 on plantation shutters for their home. That said, the price will hinge greatly on the material and size you're getting. Poly Core is the most common material in Florida, and also less expensive Than wood!. Wood and even composite shutters are available (they’re also less resistant to humidity and, in some cases, a lot heavier!!).



So why would anyone cough up so much cash for plantation shutters anyway? We're glad you asked!

Benefits of plantation shutters Plantation shutters—also called California shutters because of their recent surge in popularity in the West—are perennial favorites around the U.S. for a variety of reasons:

Energy conservation: Possibly the greatest advantage of plantation shutters is how those wide, heavy louvers block out anything from the outdoors you don't want coming in. That's most often sunlight (so you can sleep), heat (so your home can stay cool), or (in colder climates) the cold.

Privacy: Adjusted to the right angle with a tilt rod, plantation shutters can allow you a good view of the outdoors while preventing people outside from seeing into your home. Shutting them all the way gives you total privacy.

Durability: Blinds work on the same principle as plantation shutters, but are flimsy—they can bend and break, and generally don't look all that stately. Plantation shutters are the far sturdier option, lasting for years and much easier to dust and clean. Although the louvers are typically 2½ to 3½ inches wide, they can be found as wide as 5 inches. The wider the louvers, the greater the durability and energy-conserving powers—and the higher the price.
