What is the difference between custom window treatments and those I can buy at a big box store?

It's no secret that custom window treatments come with a higher price tag than what you’ll see in big box stores. Why? The custom product that comes out of Skandia Window Fashions is made-to-order, by American craftsmen, using upgraded, more durable componentry. Every product is custom-made specifically to fit your window. Most box stores utilize cheap Asian labor, and low-end componentry to offer an inexpensive option. They also use ready-made stock products that are cut down. This can result in blinds not appearing centered in the window, difficulty operating shades, and a decreased lifespan of the product. Purchasing custom window coverings may mean paying a little more initially, but it means that you’ll be 100% satisfied with your treatments, and will get a longer lifespan out of them.
