How to choose
Choosing window treatments for a Howell home
Every room has its own needs. A great room with two stories of glass needs a way to reach the top windows. A west-facing kitchen on an open lot needs glare control in the late afternoon. Bedrooms need darkness on long summer evenings, bathrooms need something steam won’t hurt, and the door wall to the deck needs to open easily twenty times a day.
Howell’s homes add more variety. Older houses near downtown have tall double-hungs, deep trim and openings that may not be square. Newer subdivision homes have arched transoms, two-story foyers, walkout lower levels and plenty of standard windows that suit almost any product. Lake homes want to keep the view.
At your free shop-at-home appointment we walk through each room, show you full-size samples in your own light, measure the windows and give you an itemized quote on the spot, so you don’t have to drive anywhere to compare. Use the guide below to get a feel for the options first.

Request In-Home ConsultationQuestions about choosing window treatments
Common questions from Howell homeowners comparing blinds, shades and shutters.
What do you recommend for the two-story windows in many Howell homes?
Motorized shades, such as cellular shades, roller shades or Silhouette® shadings with Hunter Douglas PowerView®, let you control high windows by remote, app or schedule. We measure each window, including arches, and show you what fits.
What works for the older homes near downtown Howell?
Older homes often have tall double-hung windows and original trim. Shutters, wood blinds, cellular shades and roman shades all suit them. We measure carefully because older openings are not always square.
What is the most energy-efficient window treatment?
Cellular (honeycomb) shades are generally the most insulating because the honeycomb pockets trap air against the glass. Shutters and lined roman shades also add a layer at cold windows.
What is best for a bathroom?
Faux wood blinds and composite shutters, such as Norman Woodlore®, handle humidity well. We usually steer clear of real wood and natural woven materials in steamy rooms.
Which window treatments are safest for kids and pets?
Cordless and motorized products remove dangling cords, and shutters have no lift cords at all. Norman also offers products certified Best for Kids™.
How much do custom window treatments cost?
It depends on the product, the size and number of windows, and the options you choose. That’s why we measure and give you an itemized quote on the spot, free and with no obligation.
