Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Answers to Commonly Asked Questions

Products & Materials

What types of window treatments do you offer?

We manufacture and supply a wide range of custom window treatments, including blinds, shades, and shutters. Our products are designed for residential and commercial applications and are made to order based on your exact window measurements and specifications.

Do you manufacture your products locally?

Yes. Our window fashions are manufactured in our Port Orange, Florida facility. This allows us to maintain strict quality control and provide faster turnaround times compared to imported products.

Are your products made in the USA?

Yes. Our products are proudly manufactured in the United States at our Port Orange, Florida facility.

Do you offer custom-sized blinds and shades?

Yes. All of our window treatments are custom-made to fit your windows. We do not sell one-size-fits-all products. Each order is manufactured based on the measurements you provide or those taken by a professional installer.

Do you offer motorized or smart blinds?

Yes. We offer motorized and automated window treatment options that can integrate with select smart home systems. Motorization is available on many of our blind and shade products.

Measuring & Installation

What is the difference between inside mount and outside mount?

An inside mount is installed within the window frame for a clean, built-in look. An outside mount is installed outside the window frame and covers a larger area around the window opening. Outside mounts are often recommended for windows that are not perfectly square or for increased light control and privacy.

How do I measure my windows for blinds or shades?

We recommend measuring each window individually using a metal tape measure. Measurements should be taken for both width and height in multiple places and recorded to the nearest 1/8 inch. Detailed measuring instructions are available on our How to Measure page.

We work with both homeowners and professional designers, installers, and distributors. Homeowners are welcome to inquire about our products and services, and we can help connect you with an authorized dealer if needed.
