Home Theater Window Shades

One of the most common window treatments is the window shade. Home theater window shades effectively block ambient light to keep out glare and maximize your viewing experience. They also help break the monotony of your walls, which are left bare by many Canadian home theater owners.

Home theater curtains may be motorized or electronically controlled. Motorized curtains are certainly more impressive, but they can cost up to five times as much as regular curtains. They may also be hard to maintain because they don’t have manual controls that can be used in case they break down. When a motorized curtain malfunctions, you’ll usually need help from a Canadian home theater specialist to fix the problem.

Thick velvet is generally considered the best home theater curtain material because it’s near 100% opaque. It also has a unique texture that adds to the theater theme. Cotton is a cheaper alternative, but you’ll need three or more layers to get the same opacity as velvet. Some Canadian home theater suppliers also carry acoustic curtains designed to absorb sound.
