Blinds vs. Shades: Weighing the Pros and Cons
When it comes to window treatments, homeowners often find themselves torn between blinds and shades.
Roman shades may be your best option if you love the elegance of draperies while also enjoying the functionality of shades. At Incredible Windows, we aim to provide expert guidance, so you get the custom shades you want at an affordable price! The fabric of Roman shades folds in on itself when lifted and, at the top, they form a small stack. You can choose from various fold styles, fabrics, patterns, and room dimming or light-filtering options.
Roman shades never go out of style.
The Roman shade comes in a wide range of decorative patterns, colors, and fabrics and makes a statement. Roman shades are attractive in any room, regardless of your interior design scheme. Roman shades are timeless and versatile, which is why they are so popular. Custom Roman shades may be the right choice for you if you’re in love with drapery and have a lot of fabric options, but prefer less of a fabric stack. They’re also ideal for small, hard to access windows.
The Roman shade is a classic when it comes to window treatments because it combines the perfect blend of the soft folds and waves of drapes with the ease and convenience of blinds. The Roman shades from Hunter Douglas, available at Incredible Windows, are the ideal mix of light filtering, privacy control, and the beauty you expect from a quality product from Hunter Douglas. Available in a wide variety of custom sizes, fabrics, colors, folds, and opacities, there is sure to be a perfect product to suit your needs.

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has implemented a rule under the Consumer Product Safety Act that addresses risks of strangulation for children due to custom window coverings with cords longer than 8 inches, mandating that such cords meet similar safety standards as stock window coverings. They also outlined methods for ensuring cord safety. Compliance requires testing and certification from third-party conformity assessment bodies approved by CPSC for products deemed “children’s products.”
