Your AC is working overtime because your windows are letting heat pour in. Up to 76% of sunlight hitting your windows becomes heat inside your home. That’s money leaving through the glass.
Roller shades change that. The right window treatment can cut heat gain by up to 60% in summer. You’ll feel the difference immediately—rooms stay cooler, your AC runs less, and your energy bills drop.
Blackout roller shades do even more. Complete darkness means better sleep, longer mornings for your kids, and protection for your furniture from UV damage. You control exactly how much light enters, exactly when you want it. No more waking up at sunrise unless you choose to.
We’ve spent ten years in construction and window treatments across the DFW area. We know what Franklin Park homes need because we’ve worked in them—older housing stock from the 70s and 80s, single-pane windows that leak air, rooms that bake in afternoon sun.
Our showroom in Arlington gives you a hands-on look at every option before you commit. We’re not ordering from a catalog and hoping it works. Every roller shade is custom-measured for your specific windows, and we handle the installation ourselves.
Texas-made products matter here. They’re built for this climate, not some mild coastal weather. When temperatures hit 109°F and keep climbing, you need window treatments designed to handle it.
We start with a free consultation at your home. You show us the windows, tell us what’s not working, and we measure everything. We’ll talk through your options—blackout blinds for bedrooms, light-filtering for living areas, motorized for hard-to-reach windows.
Once you choose your materials and style, we order your custom roller blinds. Everything is made to your exact window dimensions. No gaps, no light leaks, no “close enough” measurements.
Installation happens on your schedule. Our team shows up, installs each roller shade properly, tests the operation, and walks you through how everything works. If you chose motorization, we’ll sync it with your smart home system before we leave.
The whole process typically takes two to three weeks from consultation to installation. You’re not waiting months, and you’re not dealing with multiple companies. One team handles everything.

Every roller shade we install is measured specifically for your windows. You pick the fabric—sheer, light-filtering, room darkening, or complete blackout. You choose the color and texture that matches your space.
Motorization is available on any shade. Control them from your phone, set schedules, or integrate with Alexa or Google Home. It’s especially useful for large windows or shades you’d otherwise struggle to reach.
Franklin Park’s climate demands energy-efficient solutions. The fabrics we use are designed to reflect heat and insulate your windows. With temperatures expected to hit 109°F more frequently over the next 30 years, that insulation matters. Your home stays comfortable without cranking the AC to maximum.
We also install blackout window blinds in bedrooms where sleep quality matters. Complete darkness helps you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. If you work nights or have young children, blackout roller shades make a measurable difference.
Energy-efficient roller shades can reduce heat gain through windows by up to 60% during Texas summers. Since up to 40% of energy loss in homes happens at windows, that’s significant.
Your actual savings depend on your current windows and how much sun exposure your home gets. Homes with west-facing windows see the biggest impact because afternoon sun is the most intense. If you’re running your AC constantly to keep up, quality roller blinds for windows will cut that demand.
Most Franklin Park homeowners notice lower bills within the first month. The shades pay for themselves over time through reduced cooling costs, especially with energy prices climbing in the DFW area.
Blackout blinds block 99-100% of light. You get complete darkness, which is ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, or any room where you need total light control. When they’re closed, you can’t tell if it’s noon or midnight.
Room darkening shades block about 95% of light. You’ll get a dim room, but not pitch black. Some people prefer this because it’s easier to navigate the room without turning on lights.
For Franklin Park homes, blackout roller shades make sense in bedrooms where summer sunrise comes early and bright. Room darkening works well in living areas where you want to reduce glare on TV screens without making the space feel like a cave. We’ll show you samples of both so you can see the actual difference before deciding.
Yes. That’s the whole point of custom roller blinds—they’re built for your exact window dimensions, whatever those are.
Franklin Park has a lot of homes from the 70s and 80s with non-standard window sizes. We measure each window individually and order shades that fit precisely. No gaps on the sides, no light leaking through, no awkward spacing.
If you have unusually wide windows, tall windows, or odd shapes, we’ll figure out the best mounting solution. Sometimes that means multiple shades on one window, sometimes it means motorization so you’re not struggling with a massive shade. We’ve handled everything from tiny bathroom windows to floor-to-ceiling glass, so whatever you’ve got, we can work with it.
Quality interior roller shades last 10-15 years, even in Texas heat. The key is using fabrics designed for high temperatures and UV exposure.
Cheap roller shade blinds fade and deteriorate quickly because they’re not built for this climate. The fabrics we use are UV-resistant and heat-tolerant. They won’t warp, crack, or lose color after a few summers of intense sun.
Maintenance is minimal. Dust them occasionally with a microfiber cloth or vacuum with a brush attachment. If they get dirty, most fabrics can be spot-cleaned with mild soap and water. The mechanisms are durable—you’re not replacing parts every year. Motorized options have even longer lifespans because there’s no wear from manual operation.
If you have hard-to-reach windows, large roller blinds, or you want smart home integration, yes. Motorization adds convenience that becomes essential once you have it.
You can set schedules so your blackout blinds for windows close automatically at sunset and open at your preferred wake time. If you’re away from home, you can adjust them remotely to make it look like someone’s there. Integration with Alexa or Google Home means voice control without getting off the couch.
For Franklin Park residents with west-facing windows, motorization lets you close shades during peak heat hours without thinking about it. Your home stays cooler automatically. The upfront cost is higher, but the energy savings and convenience pay off over time. We can motorize some windows and leave others manual if you want to test it before committing to the whole house.
Typically two to three weeks from consultation to installation. We measure your windows, you choose your options, and we order your custom roller shade blinds. Manufacturing takes about 10-14 days, then we schedule installation.
If you need faster turnaround, let us know during consultation. We can sometimes expedite orders for urgent situations, though that depends on the manufacturer’s capacity at the time.
Installation itself is quick—usually a few hours depending on how many windows you’re covering. We don’t leave a mess, and we test every roller blind window treatment before we’re done. You’ll know exactly how to operate them, and if you chose motorization, everything will be programmed and ready to use. No waiting around for follow-up appointments or additional contractors.
