As they say, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!” And that’s why certain types of shutters and blinds are not ideally suited to where you cook up a storm.
But not only do you need to allow for the fluctuating temperatures in a kitchen, there are many, many more factors to consider when choosing window and door furnishings for this room.
First of all, being central to so many family and social gatherings, you want such a highly trafficked area to be presentable at all times. At Ambience we have a vast array of stylish window and door treatments to make your kitchen as inviting as the meals you lovingly prepare.
Secondly, you will need to survey where your windows and doors are located and their proximity to sinks, stovetops and food prep workbenches alike.
The questions you need to ask yourself is how likely it is that blinds or shutters may come into contact with water, food or grease splatters? Simply put, is your cooking style meticulously clean and tidy or do you tend to sprinkle and splash a little here, there and everywhere? How easily will these dollops of your tasty treats wipe off your window furnishings?
If your windows are close to the action, we have a range of shutters and blinds just right for your kitchen. AmbiView Internal Aluminium Shutters, AmbiLuxe Polymer Shutters and AmbiNatural Timber Shutters are all ideally suited to kitchens. They are not only super stylish but enable you to filter light, control the ambient temperature of the room and allow air to circulate through your kitchen. When it comes to cleaning, they are easily wiped down to keep your kitchen spick and span.
Ambience Venetian blinds are another window solution perfectly suited to kitchens and come in aluminium, polymer and basswood. They too are highly durable and can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth.
If your kitchen windows a bit further from the action in a safer location, you could also look at window treatments like our Ambience roller or roman blinds. They are another great way of controlling the amount of glare and heat entering your kitchen.
