What moves the price
Why two windows can cost very different amounts
Size
Width matters most. Larger shades need more fabric and stronger lift systems.
Fabric
Light filtering is the base price. Blackout and double-cell fabrics cost more and insulate better.
Lift
Cordless lift is standard. Top-down/bottom-up and motorized lifts cost more.
Motorization
Rechargeable motors add app, voice, and schedule control, and are the easy choice for tall or hard-to-reach windows.
