The Advantages of Custom Roman Shades

Roman shades are fabric window treatments with a cord system and rings sewn into the back to raise or lower the shade. When lifted, the fabric gathers in evenly spaced horizontal folds.

These advantages are apparent after we measure and install your custom Roman shades.

  1. Tailored Fit and Design: Custom Roman shades will fit your windows perfectly. Unlike off-the-shelf options, made-to-measure custom shades precisely fit your window dimensions. This tailored approach eliminates gaps the shades cover the entire window for better light control and privacy.
    • You can also choose fabrics, colors, and patterns to match your home's interior decor. With customization, you select materials that complement your style and meet your budget.
  2. Better Light Control: One significant benefit of custom Roman shades is their ability to effectively control light. You adjust the shades to allow the right amount of light into your room. Custom Roman shades also offer linings for more light blockage or lighter fabrics for soft, radiant light. This flexibility is particularly useful in Pennsylvania, where varying seasonal light conditions can impact your home's brightness.
  3. Improved Insulation and Energy Efficiency: Roman shades can contribute to your home's energy efficiency. They provide an extra layer of insulation that regulates indoor temperatures. During the colder months, custom Roman shades help retain heat inside your home, reducing the need for additional heating. In the summer, they block out heat, keeping your home cooler. This can save money on energy costs.
  4. Versatility: Custom Roman shades work beautifully on different windows, including standard, arched, and even doors, with Roman shades for doors. You can design them to suit any room, from living areas and bedrooms to kitchens and bathrooms.
