Below are answers to some of the most common questions customers have about our services.
What types of window treatments do you offer?
We offer a wide selection of custom window treatments, including blinds, shades, shutters, curtains, and motorized options. Available styles include honeycomb shades, roller shades, plantation shutters, motorized blinds, motorized shades, and more for different privacy, light control, and design needs.
How do I choose the right window treatments for my home?
The right window treatments depend on your windows, desired level of privacy, light control, interior style, and budget. A professional consultation can help you compare blinds, shades, shutters, curtains, and motorized options to find the best fit for each room.
What is the difference between blinds and shades?
Blinds typically feature adjustable slats that can be tilted to control light and privacy, while shades are made from fabric or woven materials that raise and lower over the window. Both are available in numerous styles, materials, colors, and motorized options.
What are the best window treatments for privacy and light control?
Blinds, roller shades, honeycomb shades, shutters, and other window treatments can all provide excellent privacy and light control. The best choice depends on how much natural light you want and whether you prefer light-filtering, room-darkening, or blackout coverage.
Do you offer custom blinds and shades for different window sizes?
Yes. Custom blinds and shades are measured and made specifically for your windows, providing a more precise fit and finished appearance. Custom options are available for standard windows as well as many oversized and uniquely shaped windows.
What types of window treatments can be motorized or automated?
Many window coverings can be motorized, including motorized shades, curtains, blinds, and select shutters. Depending on the system, they can be controlled by a remote, wall switch, smartphone, or compatible smart home technology and may be programmed to operate automatically on a schedule.
What window treatments are best for kitchens and bathrooms?
For moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms, faux wood blinds, vinyl shutters, and certain shades are great options. These materials handle humidity well, are easy to clean, and provide dependable privacy and light control.
Which window treatments are best for energy efficiency?
Honeycomb shades, also known as cellular shades, are one of the most energy-efficient window treatment options. Their cellular pockets trap air at the window, providing additional insulation that can help reduce heat transfer and maintain a more comfortable indoor temperature.
How long does the installation process take?
Most installations can be completed within a few hours, depending on the number of windows and products being installed.
Do you provide free in-home consultations?
Yes. We provide in-home consultations where our specialists can measure your windows, discuss your goals, and help you select the best window treatments for your space.
