The Top Dog-Proof Window Treatments For Washington DC

Puppies love peering out the window and napping in sunlight, but pups can be rough on window treatments too. They swipe at them, chew them, and tear them down. While no treatment is 100% unbreakable, faux-wood shutters are the most dog-proof window treatments in Washington DC. These beautiful interior shutters don’t break easily, clean without effort, and allow each member of your family--slobbery ones too--several ways to enjoy natural light, privacy and the view outside.

Polywood Shutters Are Tough Dog-Proof Window Treatments In Washington DC

Coverings like window shades, blinds, and curtains look lovely in your place, but with their softer fabrics, all it takes is one chomp from your dog to take them to the ground or damage them. Polywood shutters are wonderful dog-proof window treatments for Washington DC homes, because of their resilience. They have dependable faux-wood panels that are set to the frame around your window opening and don’t hang down like curtains or shades or snap with a little jostle like aluminum blinds. Interior shutters don’t have wands or cords for your pup to gnaw on or get tangled in either. Fifi can paw at your shutters and rub her back against them all she wants without breaking them. And if your pooch makes a chew toy out of a louver, that single louver can be removed and replaced without having to replace the entire covering.

Polywood Shutters Let Your Dog See Outside

 

Every furry friend needs to look outdoors, but you may not want neighbors peeping into your living room. Polywood shutters feature wide louvers that you tilt open just enough to give your furry friend enough room to see outside without sacrificing your privacy. Polywood shutters can be custom-crafted to work with specialty windows like door windows and sidelights. If your dog scratches at the side window when deliveries come, put up Polywood shutters so that it can find out if it’s a friend or stranger on your porch.

You can direct energy-efficiency with Polywood shutters too. If you need to keep a space dim and cooler at the hottest time of the day, but Spike likes to lie in a sunbeam, tilt the louvers to direct sunlight towards the floor. Or install shutters with a split tilt rod. This set up lets you use the lower louvers for your dog and keep the top louvers closed to prevent sun glare.

Polywood Shutters Make Cleaning After Your Dog Quick And Easy

Like other rugs and furniture, window treatments collect dog fur and dander. You can attempt many ways to dust them off, but dusting Polywood shutters is pretty straightforward. Just swipe them with a static duster or cloth, and they’ll remain free of pet hair. If you find muddy nose smudges or paw prints on a shutter panel, a damp cloth works just fine. As for ”wet” messes, Polywood shutters happen to be moisture-resistant. If your dog runs in from hazardous weather and shakes all over the place, or your curious dog slobbers on your treatments, just wipe them dry.

Polywood Shutters Can Be Repaired Instead Of Replaced
