• Southern Exposure Window Coverings

2
Your Blinds Are Impossible to Raise

• If your blinds are difficult to open and close,
  then its time to update them. If this sounds
  like your case, it means that the lifting
  mechanism is damaged. Else, it might be on the
  brink of breaking. In addition, the blinds may be
  too wide for the space making it unable to
  support the load.

3
Discoloured or Yellowed Slats

• Almost all blinds undergo a color change after
  constant exposure to the sun. But, today you can
  many new materials that offer UV protection. If
  your blinds are too discolored, then it is a sign
  of damage. Discoloration of the blinds signifies
  material deterioration. Thus, it means you
  seriously need to start looking for new blinds.

4
Frayed Cords

• If the cords of your blinds are frayed, then you
  need to replace them as soon as possible. Frayed
  cords have two meanings. Either the internal
  mechanism has caused the damage to the cords. Or
  the blinds are very old that they are now giving
  up. If this sounds like your case, then the
  blinds are highly unstable.

5
Frayed Edges

• Similar to frayed cords, frayed edges of the
  shades too are a sign that you need a
  replacement. If the edges of the blinds are
  frayed, it can mean that they are too wide for
  that area. The constant scraping of the blinds is
  what damages it to that extent.

6
Blinds Dont Close Tight Enough

• Blinds not only protect you from the sun but are
  also designed to offer you privacy. But, if your
  blinds dont shut tight enough, there isnt the
  privacy you need. So, its time to get home a new
  blind.

7
Installation of New Windows

• If you are getting new windows for your home,
  consider getting new blinds too. You wouldnt
  want the blinds to look old with your brand-new
  windows. What better chance to install new blinds
  or shades?

8
Risk to Children

• Did you know that loose cords can be risky around
  young children? They may play with the cords and
  accidentally strangulate themselves. Thus, if
  your blinds seem risky around kids, its time to
  replace them. There is cordless cellular shades
