When investing in beautiful custom window treatments for your home, the installation process is just as important as the products themselves. At WindowDecor, we’ve seen firsthand how professional installation makes all the difference in the appearance, function, and longevity of window treatments. This guide explains why expert installation matters and what you can expect when you choose professional installation for your custom window coverings.
The Hidden Challenges of DIY Window Treatment Installation
Many homeowners initially consider installing window treatments themselves to save money. However, DIY installation often presents unexpected challenges:
- Imprecise measurements leading to ill-fitting treatments
- Difficulty with mounting hardware in various wall materials
- Lack of specialized tools needed for proper installation
- Risk of damaging both the product and your home
- Time-consuming process, especially for first-time installers
- Potential voiding of product warranties
The Benefits of Professional Installation
1. Perfect Fit Guaranteed
At Window Decor, we ensure your window treatments fit perfectly every time. We:
- Take precise measurements that account for window irregularities
- Consider factors like molding, cranks, and handles
- Adjust for out-of-square windows (which are surprisingly common)
- Account for proper clearance and operation
When treatments fit correctly, they not only look better but also function as designed and provide maximum energy efficiency.
2. Expertise with Different Window Types
Our professional installers have experience with virtually every window configuration:
- Bay and bow windows
- Corner windows
- French doors
- Sliding glass doors
- Arched and specialty-shaped windows
- Skylights
- Extra-large windows
- Hard-to-reach windows
Each window type presents unique installation challenges that professionals are trained to handle.
3. Protection of Your Investment
Quality window treatments are a significant investment in your home. Professional installation protects that investment by:
- Ensuring treatments are mounted securely
- Reducing wear and tear from improper operation
- Preventing damage during the installation process
- Maximizing the lifespan of your window treatments
4. Time and Stress Savings
While DIY might seem appealing, professional installation actually saves you:
- Hours of reading instructions and watching tutorials
- The frustration of trial and error
- Multiple trips to hardware stores for forgotten supplies
- The time spent learning to use specialized tools
- The stress of working with a spouse or partner on a challenging project
5. Proper Hardware Selection
Different wall materials require different mounting hardware:
- Drywall requires specific anchors
- Plaster walls need special consideration to prevent cracking
- Concrete or brick walls demand masonry hardware
- Wood trim and molding need appropriate screws
Our installers arrive with all the necessary hardware options and know exactly which to use in each situation.
6. Warranty Protection
Many manufacturer warranties require professional installation to remain valid. Our professional installation ensures:
- Your warranty remains intact
- Any future issues will be covered
- Documentation of proper installation
