Why Choose Custom Blinds
Off-the-shelf blinds are built to standard sizes and trimmed down to fit. Custom blinds are built for your window from the start.
Made-to-Fit Sizing
Every blind is cut to the exact width and height measured in your home, accounting for mount depth and trim clearance.
Privacy
Closed slats give you full coverage, with none of the light gaps that come from an ill-fitting stock blind.
Adjustable Light Control
Tilt slats to any angle to redirect daylight up toward the ceiling or down for privacy, without fully closing the window off.
Style Flexibility
A range of stains, paints, and slat sizes lets blinds match your existing trim, flooring, and overall interior style.
Practical Maintenance
Faux wood options wipe clean with a damp cloth and resist warping in humid rooms, so upkeep stays simple.
Budget & Options Flexibility
Material and slat size both affect cost — your consultant can help balance appearance and budget for each room during your estimate.
Blind Styles We Offer
Sash & Shade offers Parkland® real wood blinds and EverWood® faux wood blinds, in 2" and 2½" slat sizes with a wide range of stain and paint finishes.
Parkland® Real Wood Blinds
Genuine basswood construction, with decorative cloth tape options. Best suited to rooms with stable humidity, like living rooms and bedrooms, and to homeowners matching existing wood tones.
EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds
Engineered to resist warping, fading, and humidity damage — the practical choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and sun-heavy west-facing windows.
Choosing the Right Blinds for Each Room
Living Rooms & Bedrooms
Real wood blinds pair naturally with hardwood floors and existing trim, with precise slat-tilt control for privacy and light.
Kitchens & Bathrooms
Faux wood blinds resist steam, grease, and moisture, and wipe clean in seconds — a practical fit for high-humidity rooms.
Sliding Doors
For wide sliding glass openings, drapery and panel-track systems generally cover the span more cleanly than standard blinds — worth discussing during your consultation.
Home Offices
Tilt slats to redirect glare away from screens without closing the room off — a small adjustment that makes a real difference during the workday.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do custom blinds cost?
Cost depends on the number and size of your windows, your slat size, and whether you choose real wood or faux wood. Rather than quote a number that won't match your actual windows, we offer a free in-home consultation with a specific, no-obligation estimate.
Are custom blinds made to fit each window?
Yes. Every blind is built to order from measurements taken in your home — width, height, mount depth, and clearance are all accounted for before fabrication.
What blinds work well for sliding doors?
For wide sliding glass doors, most homeowners look at our drapery and panel-track options rather than standard horizontal blinds, since they cover a large span more cleanly. Your consultant can walk through what fits your specific opening.
What blinds are easiest to maintain?
Faux wood blinds generally require the least upkeep — they wipe clean with a damp cloth and resist warping in humid rooms. Real wood blinds should be dusted regularly and kept dry.
Do you measure windows?
Yes. A specialist measures every window in person as part of your free in-home consultation.
Do you install blinds?
Yes. Our installation team handles bracket placement, mounting, and cord management once your custom blinds arrive.
How long does ordering take?
Timelines vary by material, finish, and current order volume, so we don't quote a general number here — your consultant will confirm a specific timeline for your order during your estimate.
What areas do you serve?
We serve homeowners throughout Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County.
What is the difference between blinds and shades?
Blinds use individual horizontal slats that tilt open and closed for adjustable light control. Shades are typically a single piece of fabric that raises and lowers as one panel. Both are available through Sash & Shade — your consultant can help you decide which fits a given room.
