My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How are the shades installed?

4 years ago
We have new windows and don't want to void the warranty by drilling into the casings. How are these hung?

    Hello Denise! If you want to avoid drilling into your window casings, we would recommend what's called an 'outside' mount.


    As you can see with this photo, the headrail of the shade of your choosing would be mounted JUST above your window.


    Easy, peasy!
