Adjustable Light Control That Fits Your Space

Alpine Shades offers custom-measured blinds designed for homes and businesses on the Western Slope.

You need window coverings that respond to the intense sunlight and temperature swings common on the Western Slope without sacrificing the ability to see outside when you want to. Blinds with adjustable slats give you that control throughout the day, letting you tilt them open for views and airflow or close them fully when glare becomes uncomfortable or when you need privacy after dark.

Alpine Shades provides custom-measured blinds in faux wood, real wood, and horizontal configurations to match your budget and interior design preferences. An in-home consultation allows you to compare finishes, slat sizes, and colors using your home's actual lighting instead of guessing under fluorescent bulbs in a showroom. Custom measurement ensures the blinds fit cleanly within the window frame or mount precisely above it, eliminating gaps that let light leak through and reducing the need for adjustments after installation.

If you want blinds that fit correctly the first time and operate smoothly for years, Alpine Shades can schedule an in-home consultation on the Western Slope.

Materials Built for Bright Sun and Dry Conditions

During your consultation on the Western Slope, you will handle samples of faux wood and real wood blinds to see how the weight, texture, and finish compare. Faux wood resists warping and fading in dry climates and handles temperature fluctuations better than many natural materials. Real wood offers a warmer appearance and works well in climate-controlled rooms where humidity stays consistent.

After installation, you will notice that the slats tilt smoothly without sticking, the cords or wands operate without resistance, and the blinds sit level across the window without sagging at the corners. The materials hold their color and shape even when exposed to direct afternoon sun for hours at a time.

Professional installation includes mounting the headrail, aligning the slats, securing the brackets, and testing the tilt mechanism and lift cords to confirm everything moves as it should. The installer will also trim the bottom rail if needed to ensure the blinds clear the windowsill without dragging. This service does not include repairing existing window frames or painting trim.

Homeowners on the Western Slope often ask similar questions when comparing blind styles and trying to determine what will work best in their space.

Questions That Come Up Before Ordering Blinds

What is the difference between faux wood and real wood blinds?
Faux wood blinds resist warping in dry climates and handle temperature changes better, while real wood blinds offer a natural grain and warmer appearance but require more stable indoor conditions. Your choice depends on the room's exposure and your design priorities.
How do you measure blinds to fit inside the window frame?
The installer measures the width at the top, middle, and bottom of the window opening and uses the narrowest measurement to ensure the blinds do not bind when tilted. Depth is also checked to confirm the headrail and slats fit without pressing against the glass.
Why do custom blinds cost more than store-bought options?
Custom blinds are cut to your exact window dimensions, use higher-grade materials, and include professional installation that ensures smooth operation and a clean appearance. Off-the-shelf blinds often require trimming, leave gaps, and may not last as long under daily use.
How long does it take to install blinds in one room?
Most single-window installations take thirty to forty-five minutes depending on the mounting method and whether brackets need to be repositioned. Multi-window rooms take longer but are usually completed in one visit.
When should I replace blinds instead of repairing them?
You should replace blinds when the slats no longer tilt evenly, the lift cords fray or snap, or the material has warped or faded to the point where it no longer blocks light effectively. Repairing older blinds often costs nearly as much as replacing them with updated materials.

Alpine Shades brings samples directly to your home on the Western Slope so you can compare finishes and slat widths in the rooms where the blinds will actually be installed. If you are ready to move forward with custom-measured blinds that fit correctly and operate smoothly, reach out to schedule your consultation.
