Custom Window Treatments FAQ – Waterloo Windows

Waterloo Windows provides made-to-order window treatments including drapery, shades, and blinds, designed for a precise fit and delivered with a focus on quality, speed, and thoughtful design.

What is the difference between custom and made-to-order window treatments?

Made-to-order window treatments are created specifically for your window size and style preferences, but with a more streamlined process than traditional fully custom design. This allows for a tailored look with faster turnaround times and more accessible pricing.

How much do custom window treatments cost?

Pricing varies depending on the size of your windows, fabric selection, and style. Waterloo Windows is designed to offer high-quality, made-to-order window treatments at a more accessible price point than traditional showrooms, without sacrificing quality or design.

How long does it take to receive my order?

Most orders are shipped within 1–4 weeks, which is significantly faster than many custom window treatment providers. (spring and holiday seasons will effect these lead times)

Can I order samples before purchasing?

Are your window treatments returnable?

Because each order is made to order, returns may be limited. We recommend reviewing measurements and selections carefully, and we’re happy to help guide you before purchase.

Are made-to-order window treatments worth it?

Yes. Made-to-order window treatments provide a better fit, improved light control, and a more polished look compared to off-the-shelf options. They’re designed specifically for your space, which makes a noticeable difference in the final result.
