What are Roman shades and how do they differ from other window treatments?
Roman shades are fabric window coverings that fold up evenly when raised. Unlike blinds, they offer a soft, tailored look and can be customized in various styles and fabrics. As part of our custom window treatments offerings, Roman shades are made to fit your exact specifications for a cohesive and elevated design.
Are Roman shades energy-efficient?
Yes! With the right fabric and lining, Roman shades can help insulate windows and reduce energy costs by blocking heat and harmful UV rays. According to the Department of Energy, window treatments can reduce heat loss in winter by up to 80% and heat gain in summer by up to 86%—making custom solutions like these both beautiful and highly functional. When designed as part of your custom window treatments, they provide both energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal in one seamless package.
Can Roman shades be customized to match my décor?
Absolutely. Roman shades come in a wide range of fabrics, patterns, and colors. You can even choose from different fold styles for a personalized look. As with all of our custom window treatments, they’re made to reflect your style while perfectly fitting your space.
How do motorized shades work?
Motorized shades are powered by a quiet motor that can be hardwired or wireless. They can be controlled via remote, smartphone app, or home automation system, offering hands-free convenience and precise control. At Accent On Windows, we provide expertly installed motorized solutions that blend style and technology for a modern, effortless experience.
Are motorized shades safe for kids and pets?
Yes. Motorized shades are cordless, making them one of the safest window treatment options for homes with children and pets. At Accent On Windows, we prioritize both safety and design, helping you choose smart, stylish solutions that give you peace of mind.
Can I integrate motorized shades with my smart home system?
Definitely! Our motorized shades are compatible with popular smart home platforms like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit for seamless automation. Enjoy effortless control, scheduled settings, and enhanced energy efficiency all in one.
Why should I choose custom window treatments over ready-made options?
