1. Will the price play a major factor in the decision?
Always playing a factor, the price tag can lead you to a window treatment that will cost you more pain and misery than actually saving money. Here are a few window treatment options. One of the cheapest routines to go are 1” aluminum mini blinds. While, mini blinds can offer the best view, lighting, and at a value pricing. But, remember mini blinds are the worst in saving you money on energy efficiency. So what you could be saving in the initial cost could turn around and bit you in the butt in the long run. Here is a thought if your planning to say in the house or office for more than 5 yrs than sometimes it best to look as window treatment as investment like any other window replace. This could play a major role in your heating bills come winter.

I’ll list a few of the main product categories from least expensive to most.
• Mini Blinds (least expensive) – 1” blinds cost less than the ½” Micro Minis or 2” Macro Aluminum.
• 2” Vinyl Blinds – Smooth then Embossed/Textured Styles.
• Roller Shades – Vinyl Roller Shades cost less than Fabric Roller Shades.
• Vertical Blinds – Smooth Vinyl, then Embossed Vinyl, Fabric and Fabric with PVC Backing.
• Faux Wood Blinds – Both Smooth Fauxwood and Embossed Faux Woods are usually same price.
• Wood Blinds – Painted are usually less than the Stained Colors.
• Pleated Shades – No Backing, Privacy Backing & Blackout Backing.
• Bamboo Shades – Light Filtering then Privacy Backed.
• Cellular Shades – Single Cell then Double Cell, Light Filtering to Blackout.
• Horizontal Shadings – Illusions Brand, then Horizontal Window Shadings.
• Plantation Shutters (most expensive) – Vinyl Shutters then Wood Shutters.
