I almost fainted from sticker shock when I perused my local Big Box home improvement stores prices on window blinds. I went shopping for awnings, but didn’t find anything at all, unfortunately. It must have been a “V8″ moment, because I realized I could find something comparable (and, no doubt, a lot cheaper) online. This is a great time to get window treatments, because it’s nearing the end of summer. Stuff like this usually goes on sale about this time.
If you live in the UK and have been hunting for a reliable company with which to buy window treatments and curtains, check out Hillarys. They sell awesome awnings!! Their conservatory blinds are stunning, too (I plan on remodeling our attached garage into a conservatory next year). You can easily make an appointment for a representative from Hillarys to come by and measure. I learned a few things about awnings, too- the awning should be mathematically placed so as to protect the window from the sun completely at all times of the day. I’ll have to remember that.
Hillarys has been in business since 1971- so they have a history of providing reliable and quality goods. Think of them when you’re looking into window blinds, curtains, awnings, and more.
