The Top Dog-Proof Window Treatments For Tampa

December 16, 2021

Puppies love gazing out the windows and snoozing in a sunbeam, but dogs can be rough on window treatments. They paw at them, bite them, and bring them down. While no treatment is completely indestructible, Polywood® shutters are the top dog-proof window treatments in Tampa. These durable interior shutters don’t crumble easily, wipe down quickly, and give each member of your family--slobbery ones too--different ways to enjoy natural light, privacy and the view outside.

Polywood Shutters Are Durable Dog-Proof Window Treatments In Tampa

Coverings like window shades, blinds, and curtains look lovely in your house, but with their softer fabrics, all it takes is a single tug from your dog to pull them down or ruin them. Polywood shutters are the best dog-proof window treatments for Tampa families, thanks to their longevity. They have dependable faux-wood panels that link to the frame surrounding your window opening and won’t hang down like curtains or drapery or snap with a small jolt like blinds. Interior shutters don’t have wands or cords for your pup to chew on or get entangled in either. Fido can bat at your shutters and rub against them all she can without breaking them. And if the mongrel chews a louver, that single louver can be removed and replaced without having to replace the entire window covering.

Polywood Shutters Allow Your Animal Look Outside

Polywood shutters feature solid louvers that you can tilt open just enough to get your dog enough room to see outside without killing your privacy.

If your dog scratches at the side window when deliveries come, install Polywood shutters so that he can find out if it’s a friend or stranger on your porch.

You are able to direct natural light with Polywood shutters also. If you need to make a room dim and comfortable during the hottest time of the day, but Spike enjoys lying in a sunbeam, angle the louvers down to direct your sunbeams towards the rug. Or get shutters featuring a divider rail. This option allows you open the bottom louvers for your hound and keep the top louvers shut to block harsher light.
