Best Window Treatments for Allergy Sufferers in 2023

If you suffer from indoor and outdoor allergies, you've probably taken several measures throughout your home to alleviate your suffering. Hardwood floors instead of carpets, air purifiers, and even choosing certain dog breeds over others can help make allergies less terrible. But have you thought about your window treatments? You may not realize it, but your window coverings can play a huge role in the severity ( or lack thereof ) of your allergies all throughout your home.

You're in the right place if you're looking for the best window treatments for allergy sufferers in 2023, as at PSI Window Coverings in Scottsdale, Arizona, we offer an impressive variety of blinds, shades, shutters, and more, with plenty of easy to clean, hypoallergenic options.

How do Window Treatments Affect Allergies?

Indoor allergy symptoms are often due to accumulations of dust, mold, pet dander throughout your home, or even outdoor allergens making it inside.

If you have heavy curtains or window treatments that are hard to clean and have many folds, allergens have more chances to build up on all that untouched surface area and make you miserable. So, if you are looking to improve your allergies, you’ll not only want window treatments that minimize the surface area that can catch dust and other allergens, but you’ll also want treatments that can stand up to regular cleaning.

Window Treatments for Allergy Sufferers

The best window treatments for allergy sufferers will be the easy-to-clean window treatments hands-down. Options that don’t have as much surface area to collect allergens are also a great choice, like blinds or roller shades.

For your current window treatments, check for the proper care and cleaning. You can look for a tag on draperies and curtains or check the manufacturer's website.

You might have to remove some blinds and shades altogether to clean them, while others can be vacuumed or dusted with a cloth or stick duster.

Hunter Douglas Window Treatments for Allergy Sufferers

Hunter Douglas Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds

Modern Precious Metals® aluminum blinds are designed to be resilient in high-traffic areas. This means they can stand up to frequent cleaning, allowing you to keep allergens at bay. These blinds have a sleek silhouette and come in a beautiful variety of colors ranging from off-white to sandy neutrals to nature-inspired rich shades.

In addition to being a solid choice for allergy sufferers, Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds offer easy-to-adjust lighting and privacy levels.

Hunter Douglas Everwood® Faux Wood Blinds

Everwood® Faux Wood Blinds are an excellent option for allergy sufferers who still want a warm, wood, nature-inspired finish. Made of a wood alternative, these blinds are easy to clean but also built to resist mold, an allergen prevalent in humid areas. They also stand up to everyday cleaning and high usage and come in various finishes and colors, making it easy to create a hypoallergenic home in style.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades

Duette® Cellular shades have an innovative honeycomb design, with cells that catch and absorb air, making them energy efficient. They'll help keep the cool air in when you're running your air conditioner, which most allergy sufferers often do, as opening windows can bring more allergens indoors.

Their unique construction also traps dust particles, which you can clean out with a duster or a vacuum attachment while the blinds are on the window, meaning you won’t have to deal with any hassle when it comes to cleaning these window treatments.
