Energy saving window fashions Louisville

Control the Sunlight You Allow into Your Rooms, and Save $$$ Too!

With summer sunlight with us again, attention turns outdoors to the uplifting light that shines on us nearly every day. It’s wonderful having daylight streaming though our windows, too, and the longer days mean more time to enjoy summer weather indoors and out.

But the added strength of summer sunlight can soak colors right out of unprotected indoor fabrics at your windows and upholstery fabrics placed well into any room, causing premature aging and fading, at costly replacement. As much as we love the color and quality of sunlight, it can also cause summer energy bills to soar by overheating indoor air near uncovered windows, spreading unwelcome warmth throughout you home, and making life less comfortable. Your home air-conditioning has to work much harder just to keep the indoors tolerable when it’s hot, and that can cost big bucks. Gives us a call at 502 905 2368 in Louisville Ky, or www.designers-touch.com and we will bring samples and ideas to your home.

Window fashions with a high “R” rating (those that can keep energy from being lost or transferred) can and will save money in both energy and furnishing replacement costs by controlling the amount of light you allow to enter you home in summer, and the amount of cold they allow in winter. There are so many beautiful and amazing products, fabrics and other materials that help control light and stem energy loss when it comes to your windows, and I’d love to show you how they work. Call Custom Draperies of Louisville Ky. today, and we will help you save on your heating-cooling bills Energy-saving window coverings are high-fashion visual enhancements to any window, and can become a focal point in

Nothing Makes Your Home Say “FRESH” Like New Window Fashions for Springtime!

While the throws of winter just can’t seem to let go of big parts of the north, Midwest and east, it’s hard NOT to think of warmer weather, sunny days and open windows that let fresh springtime light and air in. We think this is a great time to pay some attention to those portals that bring the outdoors in through your windows. Not just to control the light and heat they let in, but also how best to make them even more beautiful! It might be as simple as adding a sheer layer to diffuse direct sunshine. In Louisville Ky. Custom Draperies by Designers Touch is the company to call when you want to replace those dated blinds. Or perhaps it means a complete change from hard window treatments (like older mini-blinds or vertical blinds) to something luxurious and soft made of fabric. The possibilities are endless, but your time is more valuable than spending it searching all over for what might look okay in your home… or might not! One of the things I do best is that I stay current on EVERY kind of window treatment, every technology, and the entire range of new and classic fabric choices and customizations that will make YOUR windows unique to your home, family and lifestyle. With great ideas we come up with together, we can make your rooms (or even a single window!) all about YOUR personality and taste.

Client Testimonials

Mary Jane C. "Mr. Marshall was a delight to work with from the initial contact. He responded quickly to a phone message, even before I anticipated, and was available for a consultation on short notice. That was important because the windows in my house had just been replaced and we wanted new "honeycomb" fabric blinds installed as quickly as possible. He was also available for an early evening appointment, which my husband and I greatly appreciated. Although we wanted the blinds quickly, we also wanted good quality blinds, and he had excellent options from which to choose, along with a good range of color selections. We also had the good fortune of being able to take advantage of a special offer that saved us nearly a $1,000.00 on the blinds we preferred. As promised, the blinds arrived in two weeks, even a couple of days earlier, and Mr. Marshall arranged an appointment to install them at our earliest convenience. Again, as promised, he had the blinds (21) installed in about two hours. We will definitely choose to go to him if we decide to install window treatments, and I gladly recommend his services."

S.Trask Vender promptly called and made appointment to come to home to take measurements for shades. Showed up exactly on time and on day promised. Took measurements and told me they would be ordered and should arrive in about 2 weeks. Called just one week after measurements were taken and said shades were ready to hang. Came out next day to hang them. They fit perfectly and look very nice. He cleaned up any mess from installation and disposed of my old shades. Was able to pay for balance with my master card which is a feature I always look for.

B. Whitehouse This was the second time I have worked with Charlie. He is great to work with. He has a lot of experience. He made suggestions and was very patient with me while deciding fabrics/ design. He installed all of the products (blinds, shutters, and drapes) very well. I had a small issue with the shutter; he resolved it quickly and without problem. I would work with Charlie again and I would recommend him!

Mrs. Gibb After I ordered the product, he called as soon as it arrived, a head of schedule. He than arrived at the scheduled time to installed the window coverings. He was very efficient and pleasant while performing the task. I was concerned about some loose threads and he took care of them and assured me that if in the future a problem arose, the company would replace the panels.

Vicki Miller He was very quick to respond to my phone calls and to providing his service. When he hung the finished draperies he went to great lengths to make sure they were hung with absolute precision! He is not only very skilled and professional but also a very nice man!
