Curtains and drapes, although beautiful and elegant to look at, have their own downsides as opposed to using Blinds or Shutters. Some of the primary reasons being, that curtains and drapes tend to accumulate allergens such as dust, pollen and even mites (especially if you have pets in your home), which would be quite a problem if you’re allergic to these, and the regular need to wash or dry clean curtains or drapes can be both problematic and costly. With Blinds and shutters, the most you would need to do is a regular wipe off to clean them, and since they are a permanent fixture and are very durable, you won’t need to keep changing them every few years, just because they have become dull and drab, or look old, which is the case with Curtains and Drapes, hence it is a very cost-saving solution for your home or office.
