How much do custom blinds, shades, and shutters cost in Lancaster?

Custom window treatments usually range from about $100 to over $1,000 per window. The price depends on the product, window size, material, operating system, motorization, and number of windows, so an exact quote needs the actual windows measured. That is why Made in the Shade Lancaster includes a free in-home consultation — we bring the mobile showroom to you, measure every window, show samples in your home's real light, and tailor the quote to your project.

What window treatments are best for a Lancaster winter?

Cellular (honeycomb) shades are the top choice. Their honeycomb cells trap a layer of air at the glass, which slows the heat loss that drafty Lancaster winters cause through poorly covered windows, and helps lower your heating bill through the cold months. Plantation shutters add a second insulating layer, a classic look for historic Lancaster homes, and most of our products carry a limited lifetime warranty.

Do you work on historic and older Lancaster homes?

Yes. Lancaster County has many historic and Pennsylvania Dutch farmhouse homes, and we custom-fit every treatment to their odd-sized and specialty windows. Plantation shutters and custom drapery suit their character, while insulating shades improve comfort and energy use. We measure each window precisely so the fit and the style match the home.

Do your window treatments help with energy bills in every season?

Yes. Cellular shades insulate against drafty winters and cut summer heat gain, and solar shades block the sun's heat and up to 99% of UV on bright windows. Better thermal performance at the window helps lower your energy bills through humid summers and cold winters. We help you match the right product to each window and exposure during your free consultation.

Are you locally owned, and can my shades be motorized?

Yes on both. Made in the Shade Lancaster is locally owned and operated, an independently owned franchise with a showroom at 3039 Columbia Ave in Lancaster — or we bring the showroom to you. Our motorized shades let you raise and lower tall or hard-to-reach windows by app or schedule. You work with a local team from the first sample to the final install.

The Soft, Tailored Look of Fabric, in a Space-Saving Shade

Here is what Roman shades bring to a Lancaster room: the warmth and softness of fabric with the tidy function of a shade, a natural fit for a historic or refined home. When raised, the fabric gathers into smooth folds; when lowered, it lies flat and tailored, giving you the custom look of drapery without the bulk.

Choose a flat fold for a crisp, modern line or a hobbled fold for soft, rounded folds and a more traditional feel. Add a privacy or blackout liner to control light and warmth, a smart move on cold Lancaster windows, and motorize larger shades for easy operation. We show you fabrics in your own light and install each one right.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roman Shades in Lancaster

What is the difference between flat fold and hobbled Roman shades?

A flat fold Roman shade lies smooth and lowers to a clean, tailored panel, a modern look. A hobbled fold keeps soft, rounded folds even when lowered, a fuller, more traditional look that suits historic rooms. Both use the same custom fabrics.

We show you both in your own light so the choice is easy.

Do Roman shades offer blackout for bedrooms?

Yes. A blackout liner behind the fabric blocks incoming light for restful bedrooms while you keep the soft fabric look. A privacy liner is a lighter option for living spaces.

Do Roman shades help with cold Lancaster windows?

A lined Roman shade adds a layer of fabric that helps slow heat loss, though for maximum winter insulation cellular shades are stronger. Many homes use Roman shades for style and cellular where insulation matters most.

Can Roman shades be cordless or motorized?

Yes. We offer cordless Roman shades for a clean, child-safe look, and motorization for larger or higher windows so you can raise and lower them by app or voice.
