The Best Dog-Proof Window Treatments For Fort Lauderdale

December 16, 2021

Your canine friends love gazing out the windows and napping in sunlight, but they can be tough on window treatments too. They swipe at them, bite them, and rip them down. While no window covering is completely indestructible, Polywood® shutters are the most dog-proof window treatments in Fort Lauderdale. These faux-wood shutters don’t break easily, wipe down quickly, and give each member of your family--canines included--different ways to get natural light, privacy and the view outside.

Polywood Shutters Are Long-Lasting Dog-Proof Window Treatments In Fort Lauderdale

Coverings like window shades, blinds, and curtains look fine in your home, but with their softer fabrics, all it takes is a single chomp from your furry friend to take them off the rod or ruin them. Polywood shutters are great dog-proof window treatments for Fort Lauderdale homes, because of their durability. They have dependable faux-wood panels that attach to the frame surrounding your window and won’t dangle down like curtains or drapery or snap with the slightest jostle like aluminum blinds. They don’t have strings or cords for your dog to bite on or get wrapped up in either. Bowser can swipe at your shutters and rub its back against the louvers all she can without pulling them down. And if your pooch tries to eat a louver, that single louver can be removed and replaced without needing to taking down the entire window treatment.

Polywood Shutters Allow Your Pooch Peek Outside

Every dog likes to look outside, but you shouldn’t want neighbors peeking in at you. Polywood shutters have large louvers that you can tilt open just a bit to allow your dog a look outside without forfeiting your privacy. Polywood shutters can also be custom-made to fit odd windows like door windows and sidelights. If your pup paws at the window when someone comes to the door, install Polywood shutters so that he can see if it’s a barkable stranger ringing the bell.

You are able to direct sun glare with Polywood shutters too. If you need to keep an area dark and cooler during the sunniest part of the day, but Fluffy likes to lie in a sunbeam, move the louvers to aim the sun at the rug. Or ask for shutters that feature a split tilt rod. This set up lets you use the lower louvers for your hound and keep the higher louvers shut to prevent harsher light.

Polywood Shutters Make Cleaning After Your Dog Easy

Like all your surfaces, window coverings collect dog hair and dander. You can try many tricks to clean up, but dusting Polywood shutters is very straightforward. Just rub them with a feather duster or rag, and they’ll remain free of pet hair. If you sind grubby nose smudges or paw prints on a louver, a wet cloth works perfectly fine. As for ”wet” messes, Polywood shutters happen to be moisture-resistant. If your pooch walks in from the rain or snow and shakes himself dry, or your curious pup salivates on your interior shutters, just scrub them dry.

Polywood Shutters Can Be Mended Instead Of Replaced
