The following are a few of the many reasons why shopping with us simply makes more sense:
|
 |
We only offer true custom products. These are not factory-direct or storebought items. We frown upon the use of automated labor. Everything that we do is done the way it should be done. Fabrics are measured by hand, custom patterns are designed and hand-crafted by experienced professionals and drapery hems are hand stitched for superior quality. Our only automated tool is the sewing machine. Everything else is done by hand.
|
|
 |
If you have informed yourself on the true cost of custom labor, you will find that we have very low prices. In fact, our pricing aim is to be 30 to 50% off the cost of workrooms such as Calico Corners®, Smith and Noble® and others.

 |
The average process of getting custom window treatments takes about 8 weeks. With us, it can be done in less than half the time. There is no need to tediously schedule consultation appointments or visit several stores to select each product component. With Priority Windows, not only can you design a custom product yourself at your own convenience, but our Help and Info Center is there to guide you and help you as much as a design consultant would. Your time is valuable and we know that.

Fabrics make all the difference when it comes to custom window treatments. We only use high quality decorator fabrics. If you have ever been to your local decorator fabric store, you may recognize some of the designs that we carry. We carry fabrics made by Waverly®, Richloom®, P. Kaufmann®, Premier Prints®, Covington®, Portfolio Textiles®, Kravet® and many others. Our silks are not silk blends that are commonly used nowadays. We carry 100% medium-weight dupioni silks only and not thin dupioni silks that are seen in many storebought draperies. We are also generous when it comes to our lining. You will not find thin percale linings or shapeless cotton linings here. We use only high-quality linings and interlinings that are appropriate for the high-end quality of our products.
|
|
 |
We carry over 120 fabrics and 300 trims that you can coordinate together to finish off your entire room. Custom window treatments, custom bedding, custom pillows, custom table runners, custom shower curtains...the list goes on. Whatever you need, you can find it here.
|
|
 |
With over 300 different trimming options, you are bound to find a trim that matches our fabrics. These are high-end trims that give off a luxurious sheen. Other competitors seldom offer trims. We offer the latest trims, including beaded trims, which are very popular nowadays.

The beauty of custom-made products is that they can be offered in many sizes. Therefore, we also cater to homes with unique, but also challenging windows. No matter how big or small, we have your size. Our drapery lengths range from 60 inches for small windows to 240 inches for those large two-story windows. Many of our valances are available in widths over 200 inches. Our table runners also can be made very long - up to 160 inches to be exact!

Sometimes it is not simply about the cost of a custom window treatment. Sometimes a storebought product can cost more in the long run. Storebought window treatments have a shorter lifespan so they need to be replaced more often. They also have less fullness than a custom window treatment so even though their price is lower, you may end up buying more to dress a window that a single custom curtain could have. Some storebought silk curtains aren't even interlined. Silk that isn't interlined fades in less than a year. Pottery Barn's® dupioni silk draperies, for example, aren't interlined. Even worse, their dupioni silks and linings are extremely thin. For those who wish for a quality product, custom certainly is the better alternative.
Hardware also can sometimes exceed the cost of the product. We have devised products that will save you money on hardware. Many of our valances and draperies are installed onto medallions, not curtain rods, saving you hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars just because you do not have to purchase a special order curtain rod. This is especially helpful for unique window shapes such as bay windows, bow windows and arched windows.

Our website is designed to eliminate the need for a pricy consultation. Even if you are a beginner when it comes to home design, the website is designed to be easy to use. Each product only allows you to choose options that are appropriate for it, so you don't have to wonder about questions like, "Will this fabric work for this valance?" or "Can I get this in a wide width?" Likewise, before you make a purchase, you can visit our Help and Info Center to learn how to measure and install, or how to coordinate our custom products with your room. Our inventory is clearly presented with large pictures. If you are not sure what fabrics match, we also offer samples for most of them.

...and lastly:
|
 |
With so many everyday expenses on things that the average American enjoys on a short-term basis, it is good to know that a custom window treatment will last a long time. A well-kept custom window treatment will last over a decade, making it a very wise investment indeed.
