Top Factors That Affect Your Window Treatment Cost
For the standard window treatment, the window treatment type and its material will account for most of the budget. Additional cost factors include installing the window treatment and the number of windows you have in your home.
How Your Window Treatment Cost Breaks Down
See the estimated average percentages your factors contribute to your total cost.
1. Treatment Type
The window treatment type makes the most significant impact on your overall project total. Curtains and drapes are the most expensive, particularly custom curtains, while blinds are the least costly option.
2. Treatment Material
After the window treatment type, the material is the next major cost factor. For example, motorized electric shades can be pricey because of all the electrical components, and drapes typically are made from a thicker material and thus are more expensive than most window treatments.
3. Installation
The labor required to install the window treatment also affects the project total. Many homeowners choose to DIY this process, but depending on the number of windows you have, the treatment type, and the project complexity, others choose to hire a pro.
4. Number of Windows
How many windows you have also affect your budget. Purchasing a window treatment for one window is less expensive than purchasing matching custom treatments for your entire home.
