Choosing the Right blinds for Different Window and Door Types
When it comes to adding that finishing touch to your windows or doors, choosing the right blinds can make all the difference. At Graywind, we understand the importance of selecting the perfect window treatments to complement your decor and provide functionality. In this blog, we will delve into the different types of windows and doors and the suitable shades that can enhance their appearance. What is the Window Treatment ? A window treatment is anything you would put over or around your windows. You can think of window treatments as existing in two categories: soft treatments, like curtains, and hard treatments, like blinds and shutters. Below, we'll dive into both in order to help you better understand what is a window treatment. There are five main benefits to using window treatments. Add style. Perk up spaces with bright colors or choose neutral finishes for a cozy look. Regulate temperature. Window treatments insulate a room. They stop cold air in winter and outside heat in summer. They can make your furnace or air conditioner run more efficiently. Control light. You can choose window coverings that allow you to block light completely. Or pick ones that let you regulate light throughout the day. Provide privacy. Decide how much someone can see into your home by choosing sheers or blinds for different windows. Smart control. Motorized lift options regulate the amount of light filtering with the touch of a button. What to Consider When Choosing Window Treatments First of all, we should choose the curtain hanging way and type according to the type and shape of the window to choose the appropriate window treatment. Generally speaking, the window generally has three kinds of half window, French window and bay window, so when we choose the curtain, we should match the curtain according to the type of window. The hanging way of the curtain is also generally 3 kinds, flat pull, lift, open and close, they all have the type of window that is suitable for it. For bay windows Bay windows add charm and character to any room but can present challenges when it comes to window treatments. With their gentle curve and multiple panes, finding the right treatment requires careful consideration of both form and function. Wood blinds or shutters for a rustic touch. Roller shades for easy installation and operation. Magnetic outdoor shades for added versatility and convenience. Zebra blinds adjust light by slats dislocation, flexibly switch between privacy and light filtering. For French doors French doors are known for their elegance and charm, so it's important to choose curtains that complement their style. Sheer curtains for soft light and a breezy feel. Roman shades with simple folds for a touch of elegance. Sheer vertical blinds have both the light filtering of vertical blinds and the elegance of drapery, provide privacy and UV protection, additional thermal insulation and energy saving. For sliding glass doors Sliding glass doors are a popular choice for modern homes, and they require curtains that can easily slide open and closed. Soft sheers for gentle diffusion of natural light. Panel track blinds features a distinctive, sliding panel perfect for tall or wide windows. With their endless decorative possibilities and tall appearance, vertical blinds exceed the functional level and bring elegance to the interior. For arched windows Arched windows add architectural interest to any room but can be tricky to dress. Luckily, there are plenty of options to complement their unique shape. From custom drapes to specially designed shades, you can highlight the beauty of your arched windows while maintaining functionality. Smart arched blinds. Custom-made shades that follow the curve of the arch. Cellular shades for light control and insulation. In conclusion, choosing the right blinds for your windows or doors can make a significant impact on the overall look and feel of a room. By considering the type of window or door, the fabric, color, and pattern of the shades, you can create a cohesive and stylish space that reflects your personal taste. Visit Graywind to find the perfect window treatments for your home and elevate your decor to new heights.

Customer Say: Graywind has great service and makes great zebra shades!
This article is reprinted from the review of gb on Amazon. 🖱️Click here for the original article The customer shared a detailed review of their experience with Graywind's shades. They initially bought one test shade before purchasing 15 more Zigbee light filtering and blackout shades in white, along with a 16-channel remote due to the quality and integrity of Graywind's products. The review covers aspects like fabric / material quality, band alignment, lighting differences between light filtering and blackout shades, battery life, motor sound, installation process, remote control satisfaction, SmartThings compatibility, packaging quality, and commendable customer service from Graywind. Overall, the reviewer highly recommends Graywind for their great zebra shades and excellent customer service. Purchase information : Graywind Motorized Zebra Sheer Blinds ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2021 Color: Classic - White Material Type: 1 - Rechargeable Smart Motor 🖱️Click here for product I started out with one test shade before committing (like many others, I was scared about the risk and return difficulty if it hadn't worked out). I loved the quality and Graywind's integrity so much, I ended up buying 15 more Zigbee (ZF) light filtering and blackout shades in white, and the 15-channel remote. Both types of these zebra shades look great and work wonderfully. Highly recommend!! Long version: FABRIC / MATERIAL Get the swatches!! It' ll help you very much. Before finding Graywind, I had ordered fabric swatches from the major brands at our home improvement stores and from a couple online vendors. Those "fabrics" all felt like rigid paper, they were fraying at the edges, and didn' t seem like they would last with everyday up/downs and direct sunlight over the years. Graywind' s fabric samples, however, were impressive. The materials are flexible, don' t crease easily, and didn't show signs of easy fraying. The solid bands feel smooth and thin (but durable) for the light filtering, and smooth and thick for the blackout. The sheer parts feel a bit more rigid than your typical soft sheer curtains, so they may crease if someone/thing keeps folding it repeatedly. After 6 months, I haven' t had any issues with the fabric fraying on the shades that completely open/close or partially open. ALIGNMENT OF BANDS For the most part, Graywind did a great job at band alignment between windows (this was a concern I had about buying zebra-style shades). The only caveat was that they would align the bands for only same-length shades. So if you have different sized windows side-by-side in the same room, be aware there may be a misaligned outlier (maybe try asking if they could make them all match).Alignment in the sense that you can superimpose the darkening bands over each other, was also pretty spot-on—with the exception of 2 (out of 16) being about 10 degrees crooked. One thing that was kind of a bummer is that the blocking bands on light filtering shades are much smaller than the blocking bands on the blackouts (e.g. 3" vs 4.5"). So if the difference will bother you, keep that in mind. LIGHTING For some rooms, I got the blackout shades in the rooms to block out light or to avoid our shadows from being seen if someone were standing outside at night. For the rest, I got the light filtering shades because I didn't want to lose brightness but wanted privacy from the creepy neighbor (fyi if you see your shadow on these shades at night, people outside will also be able to see it if that's a concern for you). I used a light meter to test the lighting changes with direct sunlight in both shade types while standing 6ft from the front of the shade. With the light filtering shades the lux readings were 199 closed (60% bright), 247 bands aligned (75% bright), 331 fully open (100% bright). With the blackout shades (different room/sun entry) the lux readings were 43 closed (0.3% bright), 5037 bands aligned (39% bright), and 12949 fully open (100% bright). BATTERY / MOTOR / SOUND I've had my shades for about 6 months and so far only 1 needed a battery charge at the 4 month mark. The others that fully open/close every day will also be due for a charge soon, so it's definitely within the 3-6 months window they mention. In their manual, they list the life of the motor to last about 14,000 runs (1 run = fully up and down once), putting it around 38yrs (pretty good if true). As for the sound of the motor, I tested with the sound meter 2ft and 6ft away. The readings were 44dB and 40dB respectively, which is kind of like the hum of a portable heater/fan. It's not too bad, but as a light sleeper, they do wake me up if I sleep up to their programed opening times. INSTALLATION & 16-CH Remote The installation is pretty straight-forward, and love the mounting brackets that come with this kit! It's a push and lock mechanism and they hide very well. The valence/shade could be easily taken down, and shifted left or right to center it. My shades are outside mount on the window casing so there is about a 1" gap from the side. However, the increased width of the shades still maintains privacy.The remote control is a sexy sleek push-button type, which I am VERY happy with. (I saw in another review that someone had a touch-remote. Touch remotes, in my experience, are terrible for operating motors because they are either too sensitive or not sensitive enough—making it impossible to fine-tune your settings.) So YAY Graywind for sticking with push-button remotes! SMARTTHINGS (AEOTEC HUB) I can also confirm that the ZF motors can be controlled via SmartThings. Thank you so much to the reviewer on Feb 27 2021—If it wasn't for their confirmation, I probably wouldn't have gone with these shades because I was looking specifically for shades/motors that were compatible with my Hub. With the app, you can schedule the times they open or close, and the percentage of openness (between 0-100%). PACKAGING The shades were always packaged very well with flex foam and plastic to protect from the elements and delivery-person abuse. The delivery folks in my area are rough with packages, so I was very grateful for the extra care Graywind puts in each shipment. COMPANY / CUSTOMER SERVICE Graywind is one of those rare companies with integrity, and has shown to care about their customer's satisfaction and loyalty. Their response times to inquiries has always been under 24hrs. At one point, I had an issue with 3 of my motors not functioning properly, and they were quick to help me resolve the issue, and then check up on me about it. They sometimes send short videos to help show what you need to do, or will walk you through the troubleshoot. Overall, Graywind has great customer service, makes great zebra shades and I would highly recommend!

Customer say: Superior product at a lower price and ships faster
This article is reprinted from the review of William J Brown on Amazon. 🖱️ Click here for the original article William J Brown moved into a new home in Colorado and needed window treatments to block out the intense sun while maintaining a modern look. They chose Graywind's blinds because of their higher quality, smart home tech, better pricing, and faster shipping. Graywind offered a sleek 5% see-through black shade that complemented their modern taste and large windows. William found Graywind's buying experience on Amazon far better than Blinds.com, with a more straightforward process. Graywind's everyday pricing was competitive, especially considering the smart home integrations included. The installation was manageable, and the Graywind app setup and Alexa integration were user-friendly. Overall, William highly recommends Graywind over traditional window treatment companies for their superior product, pricing, and efficiency. Purchase information : Graywind Motorized Solar Shades ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2023 Color: Solar - 5% Black Material Type: 2 - Hardwired Smart Motor 🖱️ Click here for product CONTEXT: We moved into a brand new home that required a lot of window treatments. We live in Colorado, so its sunny year around. Initially, I ordered roller shades from Blinds.com for 4 bedrooms (around $17k in total). I got either hardwired or solar powered shades for all of those bedrooms. I looked at these shades on Amazon and thought i'd give it a try. OVERALL: I definitely recommend going with Graywind over Blinds.com or three-day blinds or whatever for multiple reasons. This is a higher quality product (includes smart home tech) with a better price tag and faster shipping times. USE CASE: I needed window treatments to block out some of the intense sun that cascades into our south-facing living room that receives a lot of direct sunlight year around. The window/view is awesome, so I didn't want to black it out completely. I also wanted something that would go unnoticed at night/evening/morning when the shades were completely rolled up. I have included some photos of the results: no shades, partial shades, and full shades. BUYING EXPERIENCE: My experience using Amazon compared to using Blinds.com (as in entering the measurement details) was FAR better. The blinds.com user experience is clumsy and really not straight forward. Conversely, the buying process and user interface simply using Amazon was not pretty, but super functional and straightforward. SELECTION: Graywind doesn't have as many color variants as some of the competitors, but I actually thought that was easier/better. I don't need 70+ colors to choose from ... I opted for 5% see through black, which in theory ("black shades") sounds bad, but its not at all, it's a modern good look in my mind. Our taste is "modern" and we have enormous windows. I read a blog post that, ironically, you can see through black shades way better than white ones. White roller shades can look washed out and a bit cheap. I found this to be totally true. These shades offer light protection and blocking without totally ruining the view and/or vibe of the room. PRICE/VALUE: Graywind has better everyday prices than Blinds.com. I quoted what I wanted on Blinds.com and Graywind and they were within 10% of each other WHEN Blinds.com was running a promotion. Graywind has better "everyday" pricing ... which I really liked. I didn't feel the need to wait for some promotion like with the other folks. If you go with a Blinds.com and don't use a promotion then you will be paying at least 30-40% more, which is a lot of more money. PRICE/VALUE SMART HOME INTEGRATIONS: If you go with blinds.com they really really jack up the price when you start adding smart home bridges/integrations and you are left with the Somfy system (which totally sucks and is not the most up-to-date smart home tech). Most of these roller shades offered by graywind automatically come with smart home tech, which is amazing value. SHIPPING/TIMING: Graywind is cutting and manufacturing from China. But everything processed and shipped about a week faster than Blinds.com. Here is my timing: Ordered on 11.4, Graywind reached out to confirm all details on 11.6. manufactured and shipped out order by 11.11, received at my house via Fedex on 11.16. In total the process was 12 calendar days, super fast compared to my experience with blinds.com which took up to three calendar weeks when I ordered this summer. PHYSICAL INSTALL: I am pretty handy so the install was not terrible. I put these up myself (1 person), three units in total in about 2 hours. I used the hardware but opted for my own screws/fasteners to mount directly into the window framing. REMOTE PROGRAMMING: I had to adjust the lower limits on these to not hit molding. That was sort of annoying all around because you have to press the button(s) exactly specifically as the instructions indicate. This was somewhat frustrating but also I have had similarly frustrating experiences with blinds.com roller shades and the somfy systems. Note: I didn't account for molding at the bottom of the windows so that is why the shades were going "too low", that was something I overlooked, not something Graywind did wrong. GRAYWIND APP SETUP: Super duper easy and straight forward. Better than most in the smart home game. ALEXA INTEGRATION: Easy because of how reliable the Graywind app is. I pretty much never write these reviews because I buy so much stuff on Amazon. However, I felt motivated and emboldened to share my opinion because these guys were so much better (in all measurable ways) relative to blinds.coms and three day blinds - which I have both used in the past and view as like the "comcast" of window treatment companies, which is why I was excited to find the Graywind solution on Amazon and even more excited when the shades ended up being better all around. I am sure there are little things here or there that Graywind can do better, but compared to the old "big guys"/ legacy vendors/options out there, Graywind is significantly better in all ways (superior product at a lower price and ships faster). Cheers!
