Are You a Tilter or a Lifter?

By Jerry Stewart

“Are you a tilter or a lifter?” That’s one of the first questions we’ll ask you when you shop for window treatments at Windows & More. We’ve been serving the window treatment needs of customers throughout the Lake Ozark area since 1996. We’ve learned that different people have different window treatment preferences, including whether they like to lift their shades to control privacy, or tilt their blinds to filter light and see outside. Not all blinds or shades operate the same, and different rooms with different styles may require a different type of window treatment.

Custom Shutters
Tilter?

Honeycomb Shades
Or Lifter?

If You are a Tilter…

If you are primarily a “tilter,” you are someone who wants to leave your window treatments in place and just rotate them open and closed.

Window treatments you want to consider are:

  • Silhouette or Nantucket Window Shadings
  • Pirouette Window Shadings
  • Luminette Privacy Sheers
  • Shutters
  • Wood Blinds
  • Vertical Blinds
  • Aluminum Blinds

If You are a Lifter…

If you are primarily a “lifter,” you are someone who wants to see through an unobstructed window, so the blind or shade needs to be one that can be easily lifted open, closed or out of the way.

Window treatments you want to consider are:

  • Duette or Applause Honeycomb Shades
  • Design Studio Roman Shades
  • Designer Screen Shades
  • Designer Roller Shades
  • Pleated Shades
  • Provenance Woven Wood Shades
  • Vignette Modern Roman Shades

If You Like Technology…

Once you know if you are a “tilter” or “lifter,” we’ll also want to know how you feel about adding some technology to your blinds or shades. Almost any blind or shade can be motorized giving you the ability to lift, raise, lower, adjust slats, vanes and louvers anywhere in the room. The system appropriate for your blind or shade depends primarily on the type of window treatment you purchase. Motorization options you might want to consider are:

  • PowerRise® – raise or lower individual or groups of window treatments
  • PowerGlide® battery powered – tilts slats open or closed
  • PowerTilt™ battery-powered tilts slats open or closed
  • Platinum™ technology – hard-wired with wall switch or remote through any home automation system.
  • Platinum™ App – control your Hunter Douglas window treatments via your Apple or Android device
