Integrating Window Treatments into Architectural Design from Day One
In modern construction, true harmony between form and function begins in the planning phase. Window treatments—curtains, blinds, pelmets, and control systems—are often considered an afterthought. Yet, integrating these elements into architectural design from the outset yields seamless aesthetics, optimal light management, and flawless installation.
Why Early Planning Matters
Architects and designers who address window treatments early enjoy key advantages:
Discreet Integration: Plan pelmets and recesses so curtain tracks, blind cassettes, and motorised systems are hidden, preserving clean lines and luxurious finishes.
Optimised Light Control: Position recesses for blackout blinds, dual treatments, or layered sheers to ensure the right amount of sunlight or privacy at every hour.
Streamlined Wiring & Automation: Conceal electrical wiring for motorised blinds and smart home systems in walls and ceilings, eliminating unsightly cables and last-minute compromises.
Bespoke Results: Precise measurements at the architectural stage allow for custom-sized treatments that fit flawlessly, enhancing acoustic, thermal, and visual comfort.
