Pricing Blind Orders

Today, I would I like to take a minute to discuss pricing of blind and shade purchases. When browsing the various web sites and stores, please be certain to take advantage of the quotes offered. These are avaiable via verbal correspondence at the retail store and normally via internet quik quotes (shopping). What your looking for is the total price on the order you need to place. Some shops offer small blind gimmick pricing and then will over charge on the larger items. Many sites and retailers will add handling fees, sometimes called documentation or administration fees. My advice is take the time to do the home work and price out the entire inventory that you will require even if you desire to purchase a small quantity at a time. You may be very surprised to find the totals differ greatly and teaser rates often only apply to small and more common sizes and types. Though we cannot say we will never add handling fees and or subcharges, we do not at this present time and will try to refrain from such items as they often are added only at check out and distort the shopping experience.

With that said. The most important thing to do is to shop. Looking and comparing on your own is more informative than asking for quotes and relying on anyones opinion.

Thanks for the opportunity to share some issues with you. God Bless,

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Stained Faux Wood

When considering faux wood blinds you have the option for white and or stained. White color choices are similar to wood white choices. Stained faux woods can be a little different. Many stained faux wood color choices will be a flat non shine surface. An alternative to this is available in the Royal Trend faux wood blind. Royal offers a subtle, maybe you call it a satin finish, which provides for a sheen without being too glossy. A very nice option to the flat finishes that are most common to the faux woods. Naturally if you are trying to match or color coordinate, the flat and sheen give a great spectrum from which to make a decision. As with all products a sample is suggested for color varification.

Have a wonderful week and remember now is an excellant time to be ordering for the up and coming Thanksgiving Holidays.

Windsong Faux Wood

Hey all!

I've been asked more and more of late ...What are the textured blinds called? You will see the textured blinds in many of the newer homes. I can speak only for WBS Factory, but the textured finish blind in a real bass wood is called "Textured" and in some instances you may see sandblasted. The product most folks are seeing is what we call Windsong Faux wood. Windsong is a faux wood, not a real bass wood blind. The benefits of which are the durability, ease of cleaning and not to forget the lesser cost of the textured real wood blind. While Windsong faux is a heavier product than real wood textured the operation is the same and the overall finish excellant especially in a white color.

Why do some like textured and some like smooth? Well, if we could answer that we'd be first on the block in sales, would'nt we? I think as with all items the issue comes down to preference. Why do some like textured counter tops and some like smooth? Depends greatly on what pleases the eye and what else is in the area. Often contemporary styles will consist of more smooth surfaces, while the country and eclectic ( my favorite) will blend many finishes, colors and styles.

Have a great Columbus Day!.....I wonder did Columbus think he would have a special day or did he believe he already had it? Sometimes what we find is not at all what we were looking for and yet so much more than we sought after.
