How to Choose Window Coverings

Choosing blinds, shades or shutters is easier when you know what to look for. Use this guide to narrow down options before your free consultation.

Six things to consider

1. Light control

Decide how much daylight you want in each room. Shades range from soft, filtered light to more privacy, while blinds and shutters let you tilt slats or louvres to direct light.

2. Privacy

Think about when you need privacy. Dual shades and shutters let you adjust privacy without fully raising the covering.

3. Room conditions

Kitchens and bathrooms call for materials that handle humidity. See our kitchen and bathroom ideas.

4. Window and door type

Patio doors suit side-to-side coverings such as verticals and panel tracks. Arched windows need specialty shapes.

5. Operation and safety

Compare control systems, from tilt options to motorization, and keep cord safety in mind.

6. Style and fit

Match colours and finishes to your trim, floors and furniture. Every Marcan product is made to measure for a clean fit.
