Custom Window Treatments vs. Retail Options: Is there Really a Difference?
There is no comparison between custom treatments versus retail options. It is truly like comparing apples to oranges. Most retail options are made with lower quality materials and will not stand the test of time. Many of them will actually detract from a room’s beauty versus adding to it.
Custom treatments have a life span of 15 to 20 years or longer. This is due, in part, to the fact that we use high-quality, first-run materials, and thick linings that can stand up to the Texas sun. You will pay more for custom treatments up front but the upleveled look and pro-rated value of quality window coverings make them a wise investment over time.
Beauty, function, and longevity. These are all reasons to go custom.
Sneak Peek: How Custom Window Treatments are Made from Start to Finish
Step 1. Beginning the Thorough Window Treatment Consultation
When you contact our office, we will send you a questionnaire to obtain information concerning your window covering needs. We then offer a complimentary in-home consultation with one of our designers to narrow down options that will work best in your home.
Step 2. Obtaining Only the Best Raw Goods
Our firm sells only first-quality materials. Why is this important? A lot of online stores and retail locations sell end-of-the-bolt or seconds. These fabrics are often unstable and don't dress out as beautifully in your home.
Step 3. Inspecting All Materials to Guarantee Quality
Our seamstress inspects all of your components as they arrive to the workroom to make sure there are no defects. If any are found, the materials are returned and replacements requested. This is all done behind the scenes without any inconvenience to you.
Step 4. Determining Perfect Pattern Placement
Pattern matching within individual treatments and across windows is the type of attention to detail we provide. If there are three windows within a room, the pattern must line up within the space.
Step 5. Tabling, Sewing, and Stitching with Precision
Our seamstress has a large work table where she is able to use a grid to assure your treatments are cut straight and precise prior to assembling. To properly sew drapery panels and to apply trim, an industrial sewing machine and large work table are the preferred tools of the trade. The same quality can't be obtained without this kind of equipment.
Step 6. Packaging with Love for Safe Keeping
Once your treatments are made, they are styled and tied in protective plastic coverings for delivery to your home.
Step 7. Delivering and Installing the Dream Window Treatments
Your designer will meet our installer on-site. We have been working with our installers for over 15 years and they are the best in the business. A professional installation can make or break the look of certain window coverings. Once your treatments are installed, use a brush attachment on your vacuum and lightly clean quarterly to keep your treatments looking like new.
