Did you know the direction you tilt your blind slats can affect how much privacy you have? The best angle depends on where someone might be looking in from!

☀️ For street-level windows: Tilt the front edge of horizontal blind slats upward toward the ceiling to help block views from people looking up from outside.
🏡 For upper-floor windows: Tilting the front edge downward can help limit views from people looking down from higher vantage points.
🌙 At night: Close your slats as tightly as possible to reduce visibility when your interior lights are on.

At The Blind, Shade & Shutter Co., we'll help you choose custom blinds that make controlling natural light and privacy easy.

Love your outdoor view but need relief from harsh sunlight? The openness factor of your solar shades makes all the difference!

Solar shade fabrics come in different openness levels, which determine how much light passes through the material.
☀️ 1% Openness: Greater glare reduction and daytime privacy, with a more limited view.
☀️ 3% Openness: A popular balance of sunlight control and outdoor visibility.
☀️ 5% Openness: A more open view while still helping reduce glare and UV exposure.

At The Blind, Shade & Shutter Co., we'll help you choose the right solar shade fabric to balance natural light, privacy, and comfort.

Why can the price of custom shutters vary so much from one home—or even one window—to another?

Several details can affect the final cost, including the size and number of windows, shutter material, louver size, frame style, specialty window shapes, and installation requirements. A standard rectangular window, for example, may require a very different shutter design than an arch or other uniquely shaped window.

That’s also why an accurate quote starts with your actual windows—not a one-size-fits-all price.

At The Blind, Shade & Shutter Co., we’ll help you explore the options, understand what affects your investment, and design custom shutters that fit both your windows and your priorities.

Ever notice how the right fit can make even a simple window treatment look completely different?

Store-bought blinds are manufactured in standard sizes, but your windows aren’t always standard. Even small differences in width, height, depth, or window shape can lead to gaps, awkward mounting, or blinds that simply don’t look quite right.

Custom blinds are measured specifically for your windows. That precise fit creates a cleaner, more finished appearance while helping your blinds operate properly and provide the light control and privacy you expect. You’ll also have more flexibility when choosing materials, finishes, slat sizes, and operating options.

At The Blind, Shade & Shutter Co., we’ll professionally measure your windows and help you design custom blinds that look like they were made for your home—because they were.

Solar shades and roller shades may look similar, but they’re designed to solve different problems.

Solar shades use specialized screen-like fabrics to reduce glare and UV exposure while helping preserve your view outdoors. They’re especially useful in sunny rooms where you want protection without completely blocking natural light.

Roller shades offer a wider range of fabric opacities, from light-filtering to room-darkening and blackout options, giving you more flexibility when privacy or light blockage is the priority.

Not sure which makes sense for your windows? At The Blind, Shade & Shutter Co., we’ll help you compare fabrics and opacity levels to find the right balance of light, privacy, glare control, and style.
