Architella comes in semi-opaque light filtering fabric and opaque blackout fabric. Both options have numerous colours to help you coordinate your color scheme. Designer Window Coverings has the entire line of colors to assist you.

Child Safety Week in Las Vegas, Summerlin, Boulder City, Green Valley
July 5th, 2009Are your window covering cords child safe? Child safety week was June 22, thru’ June 28, 2009. Even though child safety week has come and gone, child safety considerations should be every day of every week of every year. Federal law has mandated that all window covering fabricators have blind cords that are compliant to avoid contributing to child strangulation. Parents and homeowners should take steps to eliminate the risk of their blinds being a hazard, whereby blind cords can create a loop sufficient to go over a toddler or child’s head. Many homes today have older blinds that are a danger to toddlers. Young children and toddlers beds or cribs should not be placed next to a window if at all possible, especially if the blinds are older and non-compliant. If your older blinds need freshening up and to be made child safety compliant, call Designer Window Coverings for a free in home estimate at (702)595-7640
Cleaning your blinds in Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Boulder City
July 5th, 2009Everyone knows about dust in our desert climate and how it gets on every thing including our window coverings. There are so many different style of blinds that require different methods of dusting or cleaning, the following information will attempt to dissimilate proper cleaning. A quick and easy method is a feather duster or dry cloth, that can be used on almost any window covering. If the idea of flipping a feather duster or dry cloth back and forth that my stir up the dust and relocate the dust elsewhere is unappealing, spray the blind first with ENDUST. This would apply to non-fabric blinds only, with hard surfaces such as shutters, faux or real wood blinds, verticals, aluminum blinds, etc. For fabrics such as honeycombs and pleated shades, made of spun polyester, a light vacuum is most appropriate. For expensive fabrics such as Hunter Douglas Silhouettes and Luminettes, a professional cleaning company is the safest alternative. Some cleaning companies prefer to clean your fabric window covering on site using an extraction method. For a cleaning company reference call Designer Window Coverings at (702)595-7640.
