    Why the Window Treatments are said to be the Fourth Skin in Architecture?

    340

    As per the recent developments, the window covering have started to be considered as the ‘fourth skin’ in the fields of architecture. Our skin is the first, clothing is the second, third is the building enveloping us and the fourth and the last is the exterior shading solution to shield the building, also known as ‘window coverings’.

    The new infographic “Window Shades-Things to Know” highlights the types of shades and the things to consider before buying them. You can accompany the Fabric Shades with draperies for a neat and stylish look. The ‘Roam shades’ are the most in-demand shades these days due to the style and elegance they add to a room.� Roman shades not only add texture and vibrancy to the overall look of your room, but also provide privacy, light filtration and insulating effects to the room.

    However, to get the perfect window treatment you need to focus on the key points while taking the window measurements. Use a metallic tool to take the measurement as it will avoid any chances of errors and also make it a point to note down the measurements in inches and not in a combination of feet and inches. It will only add to the confusion while buying the window shades.
