Measure the complete scope
A large opening or concealed pocket may need different hardware and preparation than a standard window. Fabric selection, grouping, access, power, and integration also influence the result.
Before you decide
Compare proposals using the same window schedule and fabric assumptions. Confirm measurement responsibility, electrical preparation, installation, and control programming.
Compare like-for-like window schedules
For each opening, record the room, approximate size, privacy goal, fabric choice, mounting method, and power approach. A room-darkening bedroom shade and a living-room solar shade serve different purposes. Ask how side light gaps and unusually large windows will be handled. Final dimensions and hardware should be confirmed through the installer’s measurement process.
Include access and finish work
High windows, concealed pockets, trim details, electrical preparation, and fabric changes can alter the scope. Clarify who supplies power and who finishes the surrounding surfaces. Review samples in the actual room during daylight and after dark before ordering; a fabric’s appearance and privacy can change with the direction and strength of light.
