What moves the price
Why two windows can cost very different amounts
Width
Width drives the price most. Wider blinds need longer slats, a stronger headrail, and extra support brackets.
Material
Faux wood resists moisture and warping. Real wood is lighter on big windows and comes in stain colors.
Slat size
Wider slats give a cleaner, more open view and can cost a little more.
Upgrades
Decorative valances, cloth tapes, and routeless slats for better privacy add to the price.
