These two terms seem to interchangeably float around the window industry: window treatments vs. window coverings. Does anyone actually know the difference? Our team at Blinds & Drapery Showroom has pondered this very question: why are there two terms for, seemingly, the same thing?
First, let’s review their definitions:
Window treatment: used in interior design for a window or window frame; a more formal variation of “window covering.”
Window covering: usually refers to a decorating scheme for the interior portion of the window, but can refer to exterior options (like outdoor operable shutters), as well.
Okay. So, these are essentially the same thing—though, window coverings in Media, PA may also refer to an exterior design option very few people choose these days (true exterior shutters).
Well, now, that’s cleared up.
Having been in this industry for over 25 years, we can assure you we know how to match your style with the perfect window treatments (the fancier version of the definitions always has appeal!) for your Media, PA home.
