Any new home owner knows that a house is not completely decorated until window treatments are installed. Without window treatments, such as blackout blinds, PVC blinds, roller blinds or others, a home cannot be the private domain a home owner desires. Additionally, these window treatments add other benefits including lower energy bills as well as the fact that they will be aesthetically pleasing to friends and family.
One of the most efficient ways to block out light and help with energy bills are blackout blinds. Blackout blinds can come in different forms. The back of the blackout blinds have a special coating that prevents light from coming through the fabric or material. These types of blinds are ideal for people who love their bedrooms in complete darkness. Blackout blinds come in a variety of styles, colors and materials. Because of the custom sizes of these blinds, a consumer should be able to find a size that should fit any room. Styles for these blinds range from kid room friendly to sophisticated looks for more elegant, upscale bedrooms or offices. Prices range from $30 to $300.

While blackout blinds offer a great ability to block light, they are quite pricey. An alternative can be polyvinyl chloride blinds or PVC blinds for short. PVC blinds are the most common types of blinds in use in most homes. They are usually composed of long vertical or horizontal slats of a plastic type material. They can be rotated to let light in or block light. These blinds are also advantageous because they are easy to clean, provide solar reflection, do not warp or twist, and do not become easily tangled. They can also last from fifteen to fifty years with proper cleaning and care. While blackout blinds provide a variety of styles and materials, PVC blinds are relegated to a very plastic-like type of look. They are available in many colors and sizes, but do not offer any variety in materials. Prices for PVC are much lower than blackout blinds. They range from $20 to $150.
Another option that will provide privacy and energy savings is roller blinds. These are blinds that are mounted on the top of the window and roll up into the mounting structure when not in use. To use, the roller blinds are simply rolled down to the desired length to cover the optimal amount of window that the consumer desires. They offer much of the same benefits as blackout blinds and also come in a variety of colors, styles and materials. They can be found in different types of materials to suit any type of room. For example, they can be made of polyester, linen, thatch or even bamboo. Some of these styles will not offer the optimal sense of privacy; however, roller blinds do put a great emphasis on style and fashion. Prices for these blinds are similar to blackout blinds and range from $30 to over $250
