WINDOW TREATMENTS

Broken and unattractive window shades and treatments make a significant statement as they take up most of the visible wall space in any RV. When a serious interior RV renovation is planned, the window treatments need to be addressed.

Take a good look at your windows. Are the shades stained and dirty? Will they co-ordinate with a new color scheme? Are the window valances faded and old fashioned? Are they way too ornate? Have you been unhappy with your windows from the get-go? “Yes” answers mean a change is in order.

Function comes first. Quality RV shades can save energy, insulate against heat and cold, provide privacy, UV protection and light control. Day/night pleated shades have been the industry standard until recently. While these shades have their virtues and still have a place in RV’s, customers complain about broken strings and the difficulty of moving them easily up or down.

The innovative shade system developed by a company called MCD, provides an alternative to day/night shades as well as replacing awkward front dash drapes. Essentially this system is comprised of two high tech roller shades – one a sun screen for day use and the other a night shade for total privacy. Click here to view their Site. One or both of these shades have a motorized option. You may have already noticed these American Duo Shades in numerous new coaches.

Decorative treatments around your windows provide visual impact to your interior décor. Well dressed windows add color, texture, interest, warmth and softness to an otherwise neutral and hard edged interior. They provide style and personality showing off elaborate to simple designs. They can be completely upholstered, made of beautiful solid woods or a combination of wood and textiles.
