Custom window treatments provide many benefits over prefabricated treatments. Consider the following advantages of installing one-of-a-kind window treatments:
They block more light when they’re closed.
They provide a significant increase in home energy efficiency.
They can better protect your furniture and floors from UV damage.
They can help make your living space temperature more comfortable and even.
They improve your curb appeal.
They tend to last longer than prefabricated treatments.
They add more to your home’s value.
In most cases, custom window treatments are well worth the investment. Custom window treatments not only elevate your curb appeal and make your home more visually pleasing inside, but they also often do a better job of boosting your home’s energy efficiency than non-custom treatments, and they usually last longer. Plus, specialty window treatments can increase your home value if maintained well, so your investment is more worthwhile in the long run in most cases, too.
Custom window treatments cost around $900 per window, and prices usually fall between $150 and $4,800. Your total will depend on many factors, including the type of window treatment, the amount and size of the windows, your home’s location, and the labor cost. Blinds and shutters tend to be the most affordable custom window treatments at $600 to $2,700, and the most expensive options are valances, drapes, curtains, and estate shutters, costing up to $3,000.
In most cases, it’s impossible to install your own custom window treatments because the companies that manufacture them will only allow professionals to pick them up and install them. You can buy semi-custom window treatments to cut to fit your windows, but they don’t offer the same benefits as true custom treatments. Additionally, even if you find a custom window treatment manufacturer that will sell directly to you, it’s better to have a window professional install them for a better appearance and to maintain your home warranty coverage.
In most cases, custom blinds increase your home value for many reasons. First, custom window coverings make your living area and the exterior of your home more appealing, which tends to help buyers develop a positive opinion about your property. Savvy buyers will also know that custom treatments improve energy efficiency and privacy and will be willing to pay more for those perks. The average return on investment for custom window treatments is around 75%.
