What affects the price

When you start looking at custom window treatments, the final bill depends on a few specific choices. First, the material makes a big difference; real wood or heavy-duty blackout fabrics naturally cost more than standard synthetics. The size and shape of your windows also play a role, as larger or custom-arched openings require more material and specialized hardware. Motorization adds convenience, but it also adds to the total investment compared to manual cord systems. We provide exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
