5 Reasons Custom Is The Best Choice For Window Coverings
Yes, there’s good reason for investing in custom shutters, blinds, or shades beyond just wanting a beautiful home…
Let’s start with a definition. Window coverings (blinds, shades, shutters, drapes, etc.) are considered custom when they are made to the expect measurements of your windows.
Conversely, non-custom options for blinds or shades available at big box stores are cut down from standard sizes.
There’s good reason for Homeowners to go this route as you’ll see below. Here are 5 reasons you’ll be so glad to have custom window treatments installed in your home…
#1 – CUSTOM BLINDS, SHUTTERS, AND SHADES OFFER A PERFECTO FIT:
A custom treatment allows you to get a perfect fit down to the centimeter. It’s a tighter fit that just looks so much better than the non-custom alternative.
The perfect fit also means that there’s little to no gap for side light to stream in. That’s important because one of the things most people are trying to achieve with window covers is light control. A perfect, custom fit blind, shutter, or shade, allows you to achieve better light control without the big coverage gaps that can occur in cut-down window coverings.
#2 – QUALITY THAT LASTS:
It’s a misconception that the cut-down blinds and shade choices available at big box stores are more economical.
Window coverings are not something most people want to change seasonally. They are usually lasting fixtures in the home like furniture is. With this in mind, it does not make sense to invest in window coverings that will HAVE TO be replaced any sooner than you’d replace a beloved bedroom set.
In other words, you haven’t saved any money if you’re roller shades fall apart and you have to replace them. In that case, you’ll likely spend much more with the non-custom version than you would on custom window coverings.
#3 – COLOR, FABRIC, MATERIAL, TEXTURE, AND PATTERN OPTIONS:
Why else do you pack 7 outfits for a 3-day trip? You NEED options. Custom window treatments allow you to choose from hundreds of different options as opposed to the few choices you’ll find in the cut-down versions available in stores.
