7 Benefits of Installing Custom Blinds in Your Calgary Home

Crowfoot Benjamin Moore • September 18, 2023

Custom blinds are a practical and affordable solution for updating your home, office, or commercial property. Due to their sleek appearance and superior light-filtering abilities, these house shutters are steadily increasing in popularity. Adding to their appeal, they come in various styles and colours to improve the look of your space and match any existing furnishings and decor. 

Keep reading to learn the seven benefits of installing custom Calgary blinds in your home.

What Are Custom Blinds?

Custom blinds differ from traditional blinds in a few ways:

  • You tailor custom blinds to your exact window measurements 
  • Custom blinds last longer than ready-mades
  • Because they come in different styles and colours, they offer a more polished look

Why Choose Custom Blinds?

Now that you know what custom blinds are, here are seven reasons they’ve become the industry standard. 


Benefit #1: Custom Blinds Enhance the Aesthetic Appeal of Your Calgary Home

You’ve likely seen pictures from past eras where window blinds weren’t the prettiest thing in the room. Many people hung basic metal blinds that didn’t do much for their interior design. To be fair, consumers didn’t have the same colour or style selection as they do today. Custom blinds make it easy to transform the look of any room, especially when you shop the vast selection of Hunter Douglas and Graber Blinds from Crowfoot Benjamin Moore in Calgary.


Benefit #2: Custom Blinds Help You Control Light and Privacy

As property sizes get smaller, your neighbours get closer. If maintaining privacy while allowing light to enter the room is at the top of your decorating list, Hunter Douglas Blinds is the pioneer in light control. Turning your custom blinds upwards gives you more privacy and light control, especially in the bathroom, bedrooms, or movie rooms, where customized lighting is essential for a good night’s rest or an exhilarating movie-watching experience.


Benefit #3: Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings

Did you know that on cold days, you lose up to 40% of your home’s heating through your windows? And you gain up to 87% more indoor heat on hot days through the same. 


Custom blinds can help regulate indoor temperatures by acting as insulation by trapping air against your windows, keeping you comfortable when it’s cold and lowering your energy bills. During the warm months, closing your blinds blocks out the sun’s rays to keep your home cooler while reducing the need for running the air conditioner (therefore extending the life of your AC and lowering electricity bills). Custom blinds are available for order at our Benjamin Moore store in Calgary.


Benefit #4: Protect Your Furniture and Flooring

Preserving the quality of your home decor furnishings extends their longevity. Custom blinds shield the sun’s harmful UV rays, which can damage your furniture and flooring through fading and general wear and tear. 


Benefit #5: Easy Maintenance and Durability

Custom blinds are easy to maintain. They are durable and resistant to wear and tear, and most blinds can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment or a feather duster. 


Benefit #6: Increased Home Value

Cheap window blind installation does little to enhance the aesthetics of a room. Impress your guests and if you are looking to sell, installing blinds from reputable brands like Hunter Douglas and Graber will attract potential home buyers. The more your house appeals to others, the more you increase its value

From enhancing aesthetics and increasing home value to controlling light and privacy, protecting furnishings and flooring, cutting energy costs, and offering easy maintenance and durability, custom blinds are a long-lasting investment that improves the look and feel of any room.
