The Process of Ordering Custom Window Treatments

Your professional Skandia dealer will ask questions to assess your desired style and functionality before offering product options that best meet those criteria. They will also arrange an ideal installation date or help create a plan if timelines are tight.

Custom window treatments are made specifically to your measurements using fabric of your choosing - thus justifying their higher cost than ready-made options! However, they're definitely worth investing in!
Initial Consultation

Custom window treatments are tailored specifically for each window size in a space, using elements like valances and trims that add visual interest. A designer takes into account light levels, heat levels and functionality when designing one-of-a-kind home fashions that combine beauty with function.

Window treatments not only add aesthetic value to your home, but also offer practical advantages like UV protection and privacy enhancements that can add significant resale value. To make sure that you find custom window treatments to meet your unique needs, it is wise to prepare in advance for an in-home consultation meeting with one of our local window-covering experts - this way you'll make the most of this first meeting by discussing needs, styles, preferences and creating the plan for its transformation!
Measurement

Custom window treatments, similar to custom clothing tailored for you, allow you to add an element of your own personal style into the decor of your home. By creating designs tailored specifically for each window in your home, they fit better and look more pleasing - showing off your personal sense of style in its interior design.

Your expert will discuss your desired goals for each room- how much privacy do you require? Do you require light-blocking fabric that can help regulate sunlight?

They will discuss the differences between inside mount and outside mount installations, which will affect how they measure your window and door frames according to best practices for each treatment type. An inside or outside mount installation could affect depth requirements as well as installation.
Fabric Selection

Fabric selection is essential when selecting window treatments. From neutral options that blend seamlessly with any decor to statement pieces that make an impactful statement, there are endless choices!

Once you've chosen your fabric, your dealer will discuss style options and take measurements for all remaining windows. At this stage, if desired, functional features such as motorization may also be added!

Your dealer will also discuss hardware for your window treatment, such as rods & finials. custom blinds can add a finishing touch to drapery designs in either subtle or bold fashion; once complete, a quote will include all costs for installation as this process often requires extra scheduling as the treatments are made up.
Final Quote

Once you are ready to order, your dealer will ask questions about the scope of your project before providing an accurate quote for all necessary components (blinds, shades, drapery panels, hardware, automated or remote systems and opening devices such as string pull or pole open systems). Most dealers include installation costs within their quotes so everything remains transparent.

At the outset of any window treatment project, it's crucial to set an ideal installation date in order to avoid disappointment when the custom window treatments take longer to create and install than anticipated. Your specialist can advise as to what is realistic or even provide temporary paper shades if your timeline requires immediate action. Plus they can assist with motorization options or smart home integration if desired!
Installation

Window treatments can add the perfect finishing touches to any space and are key components in making a house truly home. Your professional designer will help guide the design process by touring your space and asking key questions like:

What do you hope to accomplish with this project? Are you seeking natural light, privacy or dramatic effects?

Answering these questions will help narrow down your choices of materials, colors and operating systems. Also keep in mind factors like depth of window frame as well as an inside or outside mount window system; both factors will have an effect on which products are available to you. Experienced window professionals are adept at anticipating potential problems that could occur; this results in flawlessly fitted treatments that look good as well as functional properly.
