Thermal Curtains

Why the Last Touches Matter So Much

The little things are what make a room feel complete. You know how annoying it is when curtains look uneven or flimsy if you live in a house in Maplewood or a flat in Long Island City. Most store-bought options only come in one or two sizes, so they never quite fit the height of your walls or the width of your glass. This makes the room look messy and makes it feel cluttered.

At Professional Shades Custom Window Treatments think that a window looks best when it fits perfectly. We pay attention to how well the edges are made and how heavy the material is. We make custom thermal drapery that stays crisp and straight, giving your home a polished look that you can’t get from a box.

How Straight Lines Make Your Space Better

Most people don’t think about the “finish” of a window. Cutting fabric just for your window keeps the lines perfectly straight from the rod to the floor. In many homes in Short Hills and nearby towns, drafts can make thin curtains move or look messy.

We fix this by paying attention to the break, which is how the fabric touches the ground. You may prefer the curtain to barely touch the floor or to have a slight build-up to create a cozy appearance. These little things make your custom heat-blocking curtains look like they belong in your home forever, not like something you just bought and put up on a rod.

Little Decisions for a Better Look

Simple, smart choices can make you look professional. When we work on your home, we pay attention to the important parts.

• Hidden Stitches: We sew in a way that hides the threads, so all you see is the lovely fabric.
• Even Folds: We check that the folds look full and even, no matter if the curtains are open or closed.
• Strong Tops: We make sure that the top of the curtain is strong enough to hold the weight so it doesn’t sag or droop.

Getting Your Look Fixed and Cleaned Up

You should buy good fabric. Things happen over time. A thread might come loose, or the folds might start to look flat. You don’t have to get rid of everything and start over.
We can repair and refinish your custom work to make it look brand new again. We can fix:

Loose hems: fixing edges that have come apart.
Header Support: Making the tops tighter so they don’t droop.
Fabric Realignment: Putting the fabric back in its original position if it has moved over time.
We pay attention to the little things so that your windows will look wonderful for a long time.
