So, What Makes a Lutron Drapes and Blinds So Special?

Stainless Steel RodsFor years the only option in Panama for decorative rods were the standard plastic packaged metal and wood rods widely available hardware stores. Local decoration stores figured that if somebody wanted to spend more than $30 on a rod, they'd pay a premium, custom order it and wait a month or two for it.

Well, Leave it to Nostalgia to not underestimate the taste of the Panamanian public. Our wood, bamboo, faux wood and stainless steel rods come with a variety of finials all in stock. Our collections will cover most any style, from rustic, to modern, to far more rococo decoration that has been a mainstay in the Panamanian market. And for those of you by extra wide applications, most of the collections have hardware that allows for the rods to cover most any window.

Looking for curtains or drapery in Panama? It can be a hassle to work with separate providers: Buy a fabric in a shop, take the measurements yourself, have another person sow, make sure you find the proper curtain rod or track, and install by yourself or pay someone else to install the end result.

Finding everyone is a hassle and in the end who will give you a guarantee that it will be done right?

Panama, with its extreme humidity and high salt content near coastal areas create a perfect environment for rusting and oxidation. As such, it is recommended you take care to find a rust proof solution. I've personally dealt with clients who've decided to cut corners on low quality asian track only to have it rust to the point of uselessness within anywhere from seven months to two years.

This month we will look at the perfect pair that are curtains and blinds in Panamanian decoration. While they are meant to be exclusive replacements of one or the other, it is hard to argue that the end result of the pairing between the two creates a more complete whole.

Blinds offer sun control, energy eficiency, long life, easy cleaning and semi-transparency that allows you to appreciate your view. While curtains offer volume, softness, texture and patterns that the window blinds industry simply can't create due to the base materials they work with.
