1. What types of window treatments does Blinds by Design offer?

We provide a full range of custom window treatments, including blinds, shades, shutters, and motorized systems. Each option can be tailored to your windows with different materials, colors, and finishes.

2. What is the difference between blinds, shades, and shutters?

• Blinds – Slatted horizontal or vertical products that tilt open and close for light and privacy control.

• Shades – Continuous fabric panels, such as cellular, roller, or Roman shades, that move up and down without tilting.

• Shutters – Solid, louvered panels that are permanently installed for long-lasting beauty and insulation.

3. Do you provide professional installation?

Yes. Our team handles measurement and installation to ensure a perfect fit and smooth operation. Professional installation eliminates gaps, crooked mounts, and uneven lifting.

4. Can you replace old blinds or shades?

Absolutely. We provide window treatment replacement services. We remove outdated or damaged coverings and install updated, energy-efficient products such as faux wood blinds, blackout shades, or composite shutters.

5. Are cordless and motorized options available?

Yes. We offer cordless blinds and shades for child and pet safety, as well as motorized systems that can be controlled with a remote, smartphone app, or smart home devices like Alexa and Google Home.

6. How do window treatments improve energy efficiency?

Products like cellular shades and plantation shutters act as an insulating barrier. They reduce heat loss in the winter and block UV rays in the summer, which helps lower energy bills.

7. Do you provide custom window treatments for unique windows?

Yes. We create custom window coverings for bay windows, skylights, arches, angled frames, and other specialty shapes. Each product is designed to fit your window perfectly.

8. How long do window treatments last?

With proper care, shutters can last decades, while high-quality blinds and shades typically last 7–10 years or longer. Durability depends on the product material, use, and maintenance.

9. How do I clean and maintain my window treatments?

Most products are low-maintenance. Blinds and shutters can be dusted with a microfiber cloth, while shades can be lightly vacuumed or wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners to protect finishes.

10. How do I choose the right window treatments for my home?

The best choice depends on your goals:

• For light control and privacy → Blinds or shutters.

• For energy efficiency → Cellular or honeycomb shades.

• For luxury and design → Roman shades or plantation shutters.

• For modern convenience → Motorized blinds or shades.
