If you purchase a pre-made treatment, it will never fit your window how you want. Rather, you ought to measure your window and order a custom treatment.
Tailor-made window treatments look and work better than something off the shelf. For instance, a one-of-a-kind treatment won’t stick out past the edges of your window or fit too small to block the view inside or light. It will fit within your window casement precisely. You can also choose how your treatment works, whether requesting a hidden tilt rod on interior shutters or adding motorization to a window shade. You have many choices for hardware, opacity, color and beyond.
