Are Custom Window Coverings Worth It?

Window coverings are an important part of any home. They control light and privacy, add another level of insulation, and add an additional element of design to each room. When you are making the choice between custom and generic window coverings, it is important to consider all the benefits that custom window coverings bring to see if they are worth the investment for your home.

In this article, we will walk you through some of the most important benefits that custom window coverings bring to the table to help you decide if they are worth the investment for you.

Custom Window Covering Benefits

Lasting Quality

Quality construction and a lifetime warranty ensure when you buy custom window coverings they last a lifetime.

Generic blinds may seem like a quick and affordable solution, but the constant need for replacement can add up over time. Our custom blinds from Norman Window Fashions are built with the highest quality materials and are made to last a lifetime. You can have peace of mind knowing that if there is ever an issue with your custom blinds, our industry leading lifetime warranty will cover the full cost of repairs.

Increase Home Value

When window coverings fit well and compliment the design of a house, future buyers view it as an addition to the home rather than a piece they have to replace. In our personal experience, we have seen motorized shades and plantation shutters add the most value to a home. Read our blog post dedicated to this topic.

Exact Measurements

Custom window coverings have a much tighter fit than generic blinds. This has a multitude of benefits, including:

Energy Savings

Ready-made blinds are not built with energy efficiency in mind. The gaps between the slats and the imperfect fit allow hot and cold air to come straight into your home. With our exact measurements and window coverings built with insulation in mind, you will feel a difference in the temperature of your home, and see a difference in your energy bill.

Privacy

Windows with unique shapes and sizes can pose privacy challenges that standard blinds can't address. Custom blinds, however, offer tailored solutions. Imagine never worrying about others peering through poorly fitted blinds.

Light Control

Smaller gaps on custom window coverings let much less light come through. With our blackout solutions, sleep better, or enjoy the theatre room with no glare.
