Why Do I Need To Measure Windows In My Charlotte Home?
If you’re getting window coverings, you must measure the window! Although many stores try to sell standard sizes, there just is no “standard” window. If you buy a pre-made treatment, it won’t fit your window correctly. Instead, you need to measure your window and order a custom product.
Custom window treatments work and look better than a product that’s out of a box. For example, a custom treatment doesn’t hang past the frame of your window or be too small to block light and views inside. It will fit within your window perfectly. You can also customize how your treatment works, whether adding motorization to a window shade or asking for a hidden tilt rod on plantation shutters. You have further options for color, opacity, hardware, and beyond.

It’s always good to have your windows measured by the experts. For one, if the pros measure your windows, they’ll also install the window treatments. That’s one less task for you.
