New Custom Window Fashions!

Posted on November 27, 2012 by charlie marshall

Window Tip of the Month:
Proper Installation of Your Window Fashions Can Improve Energy Efficiency!

When properly installed, window fashions can be one of the simplest and most effective ways to save energy. Shades, shutters, blinds and other treatments should be mounted as close to the glass as possible with the sides held close to the wall or sill to establish a sealed air space. This will help cut drafts emanating from your windows, and keep everyone inside more comfortable!

You’ll LOVE Your New Custom Window Fashions!

There’s just no better way to do that than with beautiful fabric, and glorious custom draperies give you the greatest opportunity to add that visual calm to your rooms.

Window Fashions for energy-saving homes

Posted on November 9, 2012 by charlie marshall

Unify Open Spaces with Energy-Saving Window Fashions Now!

One of the nicest things that homebuilders have done for us in recent years is to design large open spaces into new homes. Those with older homes are opening spaces by removing walls so as to enjoy the same effect. These multi-use rooms often include living, dining and cooking areas all in one large and flowing space, contained only by the windows and walls that define the outermost shape of this part of the home. People come and go without doorways, and feel comfortable traversing the formality or informality that is designed into each space’s décor. This “wide open spaces” approach to living has a few issues built into it that can make the flow of space look disjointed or uneasy… and the windows that are common to all this space are the best places to unify the multiple living area style. With the right selection of window fashions, in colors, textures, designs and materials, spaces meld together to form a beautiful connection that even activates the wall space between them!

Functional vs. Decorative: While some drapery components provide an equal mix of practicality and style, there are several pieces of hardware that primarily exhibit one quality or the other. Functional hardware is comprised of necessary, no-frills pieces needed for hanging and operating window treatments. .Decorative pieces, on the other hand, are designed to be seen and appreciated. They can be used as subtle accents or as a dominate element in the rooms overall décor. Regardless of whether they are solely functional or serve a decorative purpose as well, all window treatments from Hunter Douglas will require a rod, brackets and some sort of end caps or finials.

Designers Touch of Louisville ky. can help you select the right rods and fabrics for your windows.

Functional hardware is often concealed by fabrics and fixtures
Functional pieces include white metal curtain rods, curtain hooks, traverse rods and more
Decorative pieces dress up and add style to basic custom window treatment.

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!
