Here are some of our most frequently asked questions you may find helpful.
- How long do window coverings take to be made?
Most products can be prepared within 2-3 weeks, however sometimes fabrics are on back order. Customers are notified if this is the case.
- I am a sensitive sleeper, what is the best room darkening blind option?
Honeycomb blackout shades are a big seller because they fit snugly into the sides and are available in cordless and motorized configurations. Roller shades are another good option, but perhaps with an outside mount versus an interior mount. Both products can be raised halfway up or all the way up depending on how much privacy you want.
- What do you suggest for a patio door?
Patio doors come in many suitable style options and recommendations are based on width, height and depth of the trim work. Shutters can be optioned with bi-fold panels, along with roller shades, zebra blinds, panel track blinds and vertical blinds.
- I have a window that faces my neighbors window, what do I do?
A sheer shade, zebra blind or soft roman shade are the best options. They will cover the window opening in a sheer material that still allows the space to be bright but softens the view and provides you with privacy.
- I find our family uses a lot of electronics, what would be the best blind?
Any product that has glare reduction and light control. Motorization is a great option for grand recreation rooms, theatre rooms, living rooms or windows mounted high up. With the simple click of a button you can operate up to 16 blinds at once. This may be shutters, roller shades, zebra blinds, or sheer blinds.
- The back of my house gets very hot in the summer months, suggestions?
An energy efficient product like shutters are great options if your house is getting too hot. Shutters are 100% UV protective and shield your home from infrared radiation (heat) and will reduce your energy bills. You can also use UV protective roller shades or roman shades.
