Blinds and Shades – Customised Solutions to Dress up Your Windows in Mississauga
Dodds Interiors has been offering blinds and shades in Mississauga and other areas in the GTA for over 40 years. No matter how simple or complex your requirements may be, we'll work with you and give you the best advice to ensure you choose the right product to dress up your windows. We offer virtually every type of shade and blinds available. As the industry moves away from corded products, we keep up by providing a wide range of cordless, motorized and wand options.
If you are looking for a modern and aesthetically pleasing alternative to redecorate your residence or office, we have exactly what you need! Take a look at our products for your reference.
Banded and Roller Shades – Unique and on Trend
Many manufacturers make both banded and roller shades. But, at Dodds Interiors, we look beyond just the fabrics and colours. We look at the quality of the fabrics and components, the types of lifting systems used, and the options for the hardware and rails. We look at the whole picture, which has made us one of the most reliable blind providers in Mississauga and the GTA's most loved window dressers! Whether it's sunscreen to stop the damaging rays of the sun or a horizontal application that is needed for privacy, we carry them all.
Banded and roller shades are made using a combination of soft sheer and semi-opaque fabric. You can control the shade up or down to allow your preferred amount of light into your rooms while blocking the heat, dust and UV radiation from outside. Give us a call now, or stop by our showroom to see our entire collection today!
Horizontal and Vertical Blinds – Functional and Timeless
Though horizontal and vertical blinds have lost some of their popularity off-late, they are still a great budget-friendly option for specific applications. Very few products are available that suit a sliding patio door and a vertical blind, minimizing the sun's harsh rays without obstructing your view. Both horizontal and vertical blinds are still great, affordable, and functional options to enhance your decor.
How to Choose the Right Blinds for Your Room?
Putting yourself under a lot of pressure while choosing the best blinds that suit your room? Consider the following factors when selecting blinds:
-
Room traffic and usage: If you want to install blinds in a busy space, the blinds must be durable enough to handle heavier usage compared to spaces like a bedroom.
-
Lighting and privacy: It is crucial to consider how much lighting and privacy you want the blinds to allow in the room. In your bedroom, you might want blackout blinds, while in your office space, you expect optimal lighting that sheer blinds can provide.
-
Functionality: Assess your usage frequency and choose the lift system that meets your requirements. For easily accessible windows, blinds with a lift cord can be a good option, while motorized blinds are suitable for larger windows.
-
Style and budget: Buying blinds that match your unique style does not have to be expensive. Dodds Interiors can provide you with blinds customized to your style while helping you stay within your budget.
Fabric and Soft Shades - Beauty and Design
Add a delicate touch of fabric to your home with the style of a soft shade. There are so many styles to choose from! Perhaps you are drawn to the classic Hunter Douglas Silhouette™, or maybe a custom Roman shade is a better fit for you. If the hot summer months or the cold Canadian winters are causing your energy bills to soar, cellular shades may help solve the issue. Whatever your needs be, we have the solution. With years of experience and knowledge in dressing windows of all types, we at Dodds Interiors will help you make the right choice!
Care and Maintenance of Blinds
Peruse some of these tips for cleaning different types of blinds:
-
Sheer vertical blinds: While sheer vertical blinds can be easier to clean, you should be gentle with their cleaning. You can occasionally vacuum or wipe them down with a mild soap and water solution. Keep them at least 6 inches from heat sources and steam out any wrinkles in the vertical sheers.
-
Wood blinds: You can dust wooden blinds regularly with a soft cloth or vacuum with compressed air. A damp cloth can also be used for deeper cleaning but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives that can damage the slat coating. For long-lasting beauty, treat the wood occasionally with a product designed for fine wood, such as lemon oil.
-
Aluminium blinds: You can clean these by dusting or wiping them down with a mild soap and water solution. Start at the top and work your way down to avoid re-dusting. For stains, use a damp cloth or gentle spray cleaner and allow them to dry completely.
-
Vinyl or PVC blinds: Keep your vinyl blinds dust-free by occasional dusting or vacuuming and clean them with a mild soap solution. Avoid using solvents or abrasive substances that can damage the slats.
