Common questions

Blind questions we get asked


Wood or faux wood blinds?

Real wood is lighter and brings natural warmth and grain, ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and offices. Faux wood stands up to heat, moisture, and intense sun, which makes it the better choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and sunny rooms.

Are aluminum blinds a good choice?

Yes, especially for hardworking spaces. Norman CityLights™ aluminum blinds resist fading, cracking, and warping, handle humidity well, and come in 1" and 2" slats with modern finishes.

Are cordless blinds safer for kids and pets?

Yes. Norman’s cordless lift systems are Best for Kids certified and remove dangling cords from the window.

How much do custom blinds cost?

In Central Ohio, custom cordless faux wood blinds typically run about $175 to $350 for a standard window, installed, and real wood about $225 to $425. Every window is measured in person and the visit ends with a written, firm quote. See the full blinds price guide and calculator.
