Your air conditioner runs constantly. Your energy bills keep climbing. Those beautiful large windows that sold you on your Manor home are now costing you serious money every month.
Professional blinds installation changes everything. Properly fitted cellular shades reduce unwanted solar heat by up to 60% during Texas cooling seasons. Manor homeowners regularly see energy bill reductions of $100 or more per month after installation.
The difference isn’t just in your wallet. Your home stays comfortable without cranking the thermostat to arctic levels. You get natural light without the greenhouse effect. And you maintain your views while actually controlling the heat that’s been making your living spaces unbearable.
A Plus Shutters & Shades understands Manor’s unique window treatment challenges. We’ve worked in the new subdivisions off 290, the established neighborhoods near downtown, and everything in between.
Manor’s building boom means lots of contemporary homes with stunning floor-to-ceiling windows. Beautiful to look at, expensive to cool. We know which blinds actually hold up to the humidity swings, which mounting methods work with your specific window brands, and which materials won’t warp when Texas heat hits them daily.
Our team has been solving window problems for Manor families who want their homes to look great and function efficiently. We’re not just installers—we’re neighbors who understand what it means when your electric bill jumps $200 in July because your windows aren’t properly covered.
We start with an in-home consultation where we measure every window precisely and discuss your specific energy efficiency goals. Manor’s newer homes often have custom window configurations that require exact measurements—no guessing, no “close enough.”
Your custom blinds are ordered from manufacturers who build products specifically for Texas conditions. We handle timing, delivery coordination, and quality checks before anything gets installed in your home.
Installation day is efficient and thorough. Our experienced installers mount your blinds with hardware designed for Texas humidity and temperature swings. We ensure proper clearances, smooth operation, and optimal positioning for maximum energy efficiency.
You get a complete walkthrough of your new blinds, including operation tips and maintenance guidance. We clean up completely and follow up to make sure everything is performing as expected. Most Manor homeowners notice the temperature difference in their homes within the first week.

Your blinds installation includes everything needed for long-term performance in Manor’s climate. We use mounting hardware that won’t fail in humidity, materials that resist warping in 100+ degree heat, and installation techniques that account for window expansion and contraction.
Manor homeowners particularly benefit from our energy efficiency focus. We position blinds to maximize their insulating properties, eliminate air gaps around frames, and ensure smooth operation that encourages daily use when it makes the biggest difference on your cooling costs.
For homes in Manor’s newer developments, we’re familiar with the window brands and construction methods used by local builders. This means efficient installation without damage to your existing frames, trim, or finishes.
Every installation is designed to deliver immediate energy savings. The cellular shades and solar blinds we install create an insulating barrier at your windows, reducing the load on your HVAC system and putting money back in your pocket every month.
Manor homeowners typically see energy bill reductions of $75-$150 per month after professional blinds installation, with some seeing even higher savings depending on their home’s window orientation and current efficiency.
Cellular shades are particularly effective in our Texas climate, reducing unwanted solar heat by up to 60% during cooling seasons. For a typical Manor home with south and west-facing windows, this translates to 15-25% lower cooling costs during peak summer months.
The investment usually pays for itself within 6-18 months through energy savings alone. After that payback period, the monthly savings go directly back into your budget while keeping your home more comfortable year-round.
Faux wood blinds and cellular shades perform exceptionally well in Manor’s challenging climate. Faux wood won’t warp, crack, or fade like real wood when exposed to Texas heat cycles and humidity swings.
Cellular shades with multiple air pockets provide superior insulation while maintaining their structural integrity over time. The honeycomb design traps air at the window, creating an effective barrier between your controlled indoor climate and outdoor temperature extremes.
We recommend materials specifically rated for high-humidity environments and UV resistance. These treatments maintain their appearance, smooth operation, and energy efficiency for years, even with the dramatic temperature and moisture changes common in Central Texas.
Most Manor home installations are completed in 2-4 hours, depending on the number of windows and complexity of mounting situations. Standard windows typically require 15-20 minutes each for proper installation and adjustment.
Custom-shaped windows, motorized blinds, or challenging mounting locations may extend the timeline. We provide accurate time estimates during your consultation so you can plan your day accordingly.
The complete process from initial consultation to finished installation typically takes 2-3 weeks. This includes time for precise measuring, custom manufacturing, and scheduling your installation at a convenient time for your family.
Absolutely. Manor’s contemporary architecture includes many challenging window configurations—arched windows, angled skylights, floor-to-ceiling picture windows, and custom shapes that create beautiful spaces but difficult coverage situations.
We specialize in measuring and fitting treatments for non-standard windows. This includes the dramatic angled windows in vaulted ceilings, triangular gable windows, and the oversized picture windows that are popular in Manor’s newer subdivisions.
Each unique window receives individual attention during our measuring process. We create custom templates when necessary and work with manufacturers who can produce precisely fitted treatments that maintain both energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal.
All our installations include a comprehensive workmanship guarantee covering proper mounting, smooth operation, and precise fit. If anything isn’t functioning correctly due to installation issues, we return to correct it at no additional charge.
Your blinds also carry manufacturer warranties that vary by product type and brand. We explain exactly what’s covered and handle any warranty claims that arise with materials or operating mechanisms.
We provide ongoing support for adjustments, cleaning guidance, and operation questions. Manor homeowners appreciate having a local company they can call for motorized programming help or when they want to add treatments to additional windows.
Yes, we install motorized blinds that work seamlessly with Alexa, Google Home, and dedicated home automation systems. These are increasingly popular with Manor homeowners who want to maximize energy efficiency automatically.
Motorized blinds can be programmed to close during peak heat hours and open when temperatures moderate, optimizing energy savings without requiring you to remember manual adjustments throughout the day.
The motorized installation process includes electrical connections (battery or hardwired options available), system programming, and WiFi network integration. We handle the complete setup and provide thorough training on using all features effectively for maximum energy savings.
