FAQs

It was a pleasure dealing with a company that had so much on the ball.

faq 1
Why is buying "American" drapes and blinds important?

Many imported mini-blinds contain dangerous levels of lead! These products can cause poisoning, toxicity, and lead to potential liability. Also, just ask our workers why buying American is important. Many of them, their families, and several generations of employees chose our company as their permanent work home. They purchased cars, homes, and put their children through college working for us.

Meanwhile, several of our suppliers gave up and shut down because they were unable to compete with foreign imports. Hundreds of American textile mills have closed over the past 10 years thereby devastating workers, their families, and entire towns.

Whenever you can, buy "American Made" products, invest in America, and keep Americans working!

 

 

Faq2
Why are your products better than others?

We are one of the few companies in the USA, specially making "tenant tough" mini-blinds, verticals, and drapes. American Draperies and Blinds, Inc. engineers these products to withstand rough use and abuse while continuing to operate smoothly and properly for many "maintenance free" years.

Longer lasting window coverings save you lots of money directly in maintenance and replacement costs. For example, our Hercules mini-blinds come with extra thick damage resistant slats and have a Lifetime Warranty. This "free warranty" means we guarantee all parts and workmanship. If our mini-blinds fail to operate properly, we will repair or replace them for free "forever". Likewise, our drapes usually last 10 years or longer! This is quality and durability you can trust.

 

 

Faq3
How can I save money buying from you?

There are several ways you can save substantially when you choose to purchase your drapes and blinds from us:

A) Bulk Volume Discounts

American Draperies and Blinds, Inc. offers extra low prices for larger quantity purchases. These discounts can literally save you hundreds to thousands of dollars off your order!

B) Factory Direct Savings

Because we operate our own factories, you can purchase "factory direct" to receive special wholesale pricing. By eliminating the middleperson who marks up the products before selling it to you, we are able to pass the savings onto you of typically 50-80% off most retail prices.

How good are insulated window treatments?

Insulation varies depending on the type of window covering you select. That is, some treatments offer better insulation value than others. Some of these can save you a significant amount of money by reducing your utilities expenses. When you switch to energy efficient drapes or blinds, you can often feel the difference immediately.


I.
Drapes - cloth lined or cost effective self lined drapes can reduce both heat and cold loss by over 50%

II.
Unlined drapes have an insulation value of about 30%

III.
Horizontal Mini-Blinds and Verticals only provide about 10% insulation value according to most energy utility experts
