As an established, reliable, and trusted business in Kerrville, we’re dedicated to giving you the best service experience possible on every purchase. With that in mind, here are a few of the questions we get asked most often:

What Energy Efficient Products Are Available?
One of the best ways to keep your home energy efficient is with our heat-reducing, energy efficient window treatments. There are many options available in shutters, blinds, and drapery that can help with heat reduction to a certain extent, but if you need serious help, we recommend honeycomb shades. These shades are the most energy efficient, and will keep your home cooler while helping to reduce your energy costs.
What is the Difference Between Real and Faux Wood?
Wood blinds are typically made from a hardwood called basswood, which is very durable and looks great when it’s stained. Cedar and pine are also frequently used, and their grains and knots can be extremely attractive. Wood blinds usually come with a warranty that lasts four to 10 years, and they need to be properly cared for or they can easily be damaged. Faux wood blinds, on the other hand, do not sustain damage easily.
What Window Treatments are Best for Specialty Windows?
Because specialty windows could be any size or shape, window shutters are usually your best option for treatments because they can also be specially designed to be any shape or size. Plus, their aesthetics are a great way to enhance specialty windows, and they’ll match the subtlety and sophistication that your specialty windows have. Of course, there are many more options for treatments for your specialty windows, and our design consultants can assist you in finding which are right for your home during a free in-home consultation.
How Do I Clean My Window Treatments?
All window treatments have different cleaning needs and need to be cared for in different ways. Some can be cleaned with simple dry methods and need to be dusted and vacuumed regularly. Others can be cleaned with soap and water, but some can be easily damaged by this, especially, for instance, those made out of wood. Every window treatment is different, and our professionals will make sure you know how to properly care for yours.
