What Makes Custom Blinds Different from the Competition

Some people believe that as long as a window treatment covers a window, it doesn’t matter whether it is pre-made or custom, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Custom blinds are not only different, but also better than the competition in many ways.

Unparalleled Quality

One of the most important differences between custom horizontal or vertical blinds and those from a big-box store is quality. All Hunter Douglas blinds are made in the U.S. by a company that truly cares about their products. Hunter Douglas backs all of its window treatments with a limited lifetime guarantee, another sign of their commitment to quality. While custom blinds may require a larger investment in the beginning, their quality will ensure that they last longer than their competitors.

This quality is evident throughout the entire process of purchasing custom blinds. Before the blinds are made, the windows they will be covering are measured to ensure a perfect fit. This is in contrast to ready-made blinds that typically only come in general sizes that may or may not fit a window. And once a custom blind is complete, it is professionally installed by an expert who knows how to hang it so that it is safely secured to the wall or that window trim and is level.

Endless Selection

Another big difference between custom blinds and their competitors is the amount of selection available. Blinds from big-box stores or sold online are offered in several different materials, but because they’re already pre-made, you have to choose the ones that will fit your windows best instead of the ones you really want. For example, you may want real wood horizontal blinds for the windows in your living room, but the only ones pre-made in the size you need are aluminum, which is not the look you want. With custom blinds, you can pick the material you want in the size you need. Hunter Douglas blinds are available in the following materials:

Horizontal blinds – wood, alternative wood, aluminum

Vertical blinds – fabric, vinyl, wood, alternative wood, aluminum

The color choices for your blinds are almost limitless when it comes to custom. For blinds that blend in with your natural trim, there are real wood and faux wood horizontal blinds available in numerous stain shades. If you want to add some visual interest to your wall, cover your sliding glass door with a vertical blind with a pattern or texture. Bright aluminum blinds in a can provide color to an otherwise neutral space without committing completely to the color by painting the walls.

Custom blinds can be made to fit unusually-shaped windows, including circles, ovals, and arches, and unique sizes of windows, whether they are tall and narrow or short and wide.
