Why Homeowners In Gainesville Should Purchase Their Window Treatments Custom-Fitted

February 20, 2020

Your window coverings are worn, and you’re finally ready for something new. You browse online and purchase coverings you like off the internet. Once your window coverings appear at your door, you start installing them, but something doesn’t look right. In spite of an adjustable base, they just won’t snug up against the window frame. 

Purchasing ready-made window coverings from a big box store is simple, but they are not an ideal fit. This is why our window pros in Gainesville suggest scheduling a consultation to get window treatments custom-fitted for the windows in your home.

Get Window Treatments Custom-fitted for Your Windows

You might think that if your blind, shutter, or shade covers your window, it’s doing what it’s meant to do. However, inaccurately measured coverings definitely aren’t ideal. Even if you meticulously measure the dimensions of the treatments you need, the treatments you get will likely disappoint. Mass-produced coverings can vary as much as an inch, so you may not receive the treatments you ordered.

Windows come in many shapes and sizes. Even standard windows are known for being not exactly even along all the edges. Treatments that are not custom made likely won’t look or work correctly. They also may lack the additional features that you want.

Just know that when you buy window treatments custom-fitted for the windows in your home, you receive the very best window treatments that are the exact size and function as they should.

Stop Unsightly Gaps and Unfortunate Compromises With Custom-Made Window Treatments

One of the first things to consider with new window treatments is what features would you like your coverings to have? When you don’t purchase custom-made coverings for your windows, they most likely won’t work correctly.

When your coverings aren’t big enough, they can leave unattractive gaps between the window edge that will not block the light or prying eyes. When window coverings like blinds are too large for your window, they will hang incorrectly and be difficult to to open and close. You might find yourself learning to live with troublesome window treatments instead of loving them.

Custom-made window treatments, however, perfectly cover your window without sticking out and catching on the trim. You can also decide on additional features like wider louvers for your shutters or hold-down brackets on blinds to ensure excellent light control and privacy that ready-made treatments might not offer.

Additionally, if your window is a specialty shape, it’s incredibly difficult to find a ready-made covering that works. These specialty-shaped windows demand a window covering like a quality plantation shutter that can be measured and built to exact specifications. When you order window treatments custom-fitted for your odd-shaped windows, they will direct light, add privacy, and give energy-efficiency like the shutters on your standard windows.
