Protecting Your Windows With Coverings

While window coverings are, for the most part, used primarily as decorative pieces and to control the flow of light in a home or specific room, they can also be used to protect a window and even a home. While homeowners living in areas where hurricanes and tornados are common often use specialized storm shutters to protect their windows, home, and family, standard window coverings like blinds, shutters, and even drapes can be used in much the same manner in other areas.

Though standard shutters and blinds aren't built to withstand brutal weather, they can, in temperate calm climates, protect a home from damaged caused by mild winds, loose and flying debris, and even extreme weather. Sturdy exterior and interior shutters for example can keep be used to control heat, keep rocks and other debris out of a home and even protect a window by acting as a barrier. Window replacement isn't cheap so even if you're not enthralled by the decorative aspect of window coverings consider using them for protection.
