Frequently Asked Questions

 Yes, we offer free in-home estimates! We believe the best way to choose window coverings is to see them in your own lighting and decor. We’ll bring samples to your home, take professional measurements, and provide a quote at no cost to you. 

Insulated cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, are generally considered the most energy-efficient window coverings. Their unique design features honeycomb-shaped air pockets that create a layer of insulation between the window surface and your room.

According to energy efficiency data, these shades can:

• Reduce heat loss by 40% or more during the winter.
• Lower solar heat gain by up to 60% in the summer.

Other effective options for improving your home's insulation include:

• Tight-fitting Roman shades: These provide a thick barrier when fully closed.
• Thermal curtains: Heavy, multi-layered drapes designed specifically to block drafts.
• Solid window shutters: When closed tightly, they provide an excellent physical seal against the window frame.

For the best results, it is often recommended to combine these coverings with professional measurements to ensure a tight fit that minimizes air leakage.

Yes, we offer motorized options for most of our shades and blinds. Please contact us for more information. 

 Yes! Most of our modern motorized systems use internal lithium-ion batteries that are easily rechargeable. Depending on how often you open and close your shades, a single charge typically lasts 6 to 12 months. We provide a charging cable that plugs directly into the motor head, so you never have to take the shades down or replace expensive disposable batteries. 

Yes! We prioritize safety. Many of our Blinds and Shades are available with cordless lift systems or motorization to eliminate safety hazards for children and pets. 

Window frames are rarely perfectly square. Our professional installers take precise measurements down to the $1/8$ inch to ensure a "glove-like" fit. This prevents light gaps, ensures smooth operation, and protects your product warranty, which can be voided by improper self-installation.  

 Composite shutters are the winner for durability and value; they are moisture-resistant, making them perfect for bathrooms or kitchens. However, if you have very large windows or want a high-end, classic look, Real Wood shutters are lighter in weight and offer a timeless quality that protects your home’s long-term market value. 

 For Shutters, a simple microfiber cloth or light dusting is usually enough. For fabric shades, a vacuum with a brush attachment works best. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
