Window Treatments & Window Coverings
Often the terms window covering
and window treatment are used synonymously.
However, it is important to understand the slight differences.
"Window
Covering" defines any device used to increase light
control or privacy within a window opening. Generally, this
transforms the window from transparent
to translucent or better.
"Window Treatment" is the broad term
describing anything added to the basic window for function or
style. The term "window treatment" includes window
coverings. Examples of window treatments that are not window
coverings include valances, cafe' curtains, and nonfunctional
drapes or swags.
In selecting window decor, window coverings
are often combined with window treatments that provide style.
For example, cafe shutters are
may be use with a fabric valance that complements colors of
the room.
Shutters can be described as both a window
treatment and window covering.
