Curtain, Blind and Shutter Professionals.

Bare windows don’t leave much to the imagination. At some point, you may need to block out light, keep the heat out, or prevent prying from onlookers. Give yours a window treatment that is practical and stylish in one. From sheer curtains to venetian blinds, a professional can help you with selection, custom design and fitting.

What does a window treatment professional do?

Window treatment professionals, designers, vendors and manufacturers often specialise in different types of window coverings. Some handle shutters and/or blinds, while others work primarily with fabric treatments such as swags and valances. More still, others focus on high-tech automated shades or louvers. But regardless, your window treatment pro can advise you on the pros and cons of the material and style that interest you, as well as help you determine whether prefabricated window coverings are the best choice for your space, or whether custom versions would be ideal.

A window treatment professional will measure your windows to ensure a good fit, then create or obtain the window coverings. Skilled in installation, the pro will mount the shades, blinds or curtains and make small adjustments for a polished look. Because child safety is an important consideration when it comes to windows, a good pro will remedy any potential hazards, such as dangling cords.

A window treatment professional might work closely with an interior designer or other pro. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of curtains, blinds & shutters: Windows, Interior Designers & Decorators.
