Each member of our design, manufacturing, and installation team is committed to quality workmanship, amazing customer service, and exceptional results. We are committed to working closely with each client to make sure they get the highest quality custom window treatments possible. If your primary concern is saving money, we can see why choosing mass-produced or “Big Box” brands would be more appealing. But if you are more concerned with quality, substance, and beauty, the choice is clear when comparing Carolina Shutter & Blinds vs mass produced shutters: we come out on top each and every time.

Comparative Guide: Carolina Shutter & Blinds vs. Big Box Brands
Since 1991, our team at Carolina Shutter & Blinds has been designing, fabricating, and manufacturing quality window treatments here in North Carolina. We are strongly committed to creating high-quality and highly personalized window treatments designed to last for decades. Our goal is to create products that enhance the safety, security, beauty, comfort, and value of your home or business. Everything we design is handmade by us at our facility. Our team will work closely with you to design window treatments specifically for your needs and goals and then fabricate them to your unique specifications. Our installation team will then provide personalized, professional installation services to ensure your window shutters, blinds, shades, or draperies are installed properly and fit perfectly. Our design consultants will guide you through every step of the process and help you make informed decisions about the perfect window treatments for your home. Big Box brands focus more on producing fast, cheap, disposable products that are not built to stand the test of time. They are typically not manufactured in the USA and are not created to last. They are also not designed, manufactured, or installed to your personal specifications.
Custom-Designed Window Treatments Made in the USA
Our team produces custom-designed window treatments made in the USA at our Mocksille, NC, manufacturing plant. When you partner with us for custom window treatments, you get quality products specifically tailored to your window measurements, aesthetic preferences, architecture and décor, and goals. We understand that no two clients or homes are the same, and we do not ta‘e a ‘one size fit’ all’ approach towards window treatments. Instead, we work closely with you to ensure the window treatments you get are personalized specifically to your home and windows. When you choose window treatments from a Big Box store or brand, you have a limited range to choose from. There is no guarantee that you will find window coverings that look like they were made for your windows. Your choices are even more limited if you have unique needs, like oversized windows, floor-to-ceiling windows, sliding windows or doors, or unusually shaped windows.
Professionally Measured, Fabricated, & Installed Window Coverings
We make sure that every step of the custom window treatment process is designed for your home and your home only. Rather than picking window blinds, shades, curtains, or draperies from a shelf in a Big Box store, you are personally choosing each element of the design, from the color, style, and fabric to the level of privacy and light-filtering qualities you need. Our team will work closely with you through each step of the process so you can be sur’ you’re getting the custom window treatments you want. We will personally measure your windows to make sure your window coverings fit snugly and precisely. We will then custom design and fabricate your window treatments in our Mocksville, NC, manufacturing plant. When they are ready, our experienced window treatment installers will install them precisely and professionally so that they look gorgeous and offer you decades of use. Because of our high end shutter brand difference, each step of the process is customized to your personal needs; yo’ don’t have to worry that any element of your window coverings will look bad, cheap, or low-quality.
Wide Variety of Style, Color, & Materials to Choose From
When you choose your window treatments from a Big Box brand or store, you have a limited number of designs, styles, colors, and materials to choose from. You may be able to order different colors online, but you won’t have the opportunity to fully customize your window treatments to your needs. When you work with our design consultants at Carolina Shutter & Blinds, your choices are almost endless. We offer a huge variety of high-quality, durable, and highly customizable window treatment options, including:
- Plantation shutters
- Natural wood shutters
- Wood blinds
- Faux wood blinds
- Vertical blinds
- Aluminum blinds
- Cellular shades and honeycomb shades
- Roman window shades
- Solar shades
- Roller shades
- Woven wood shades
- Bamboo shades
- Sheers and shadings
- Sliding panel blinds
- Cellular insulating blinds
- Commercial window shades
- Custom curtains and draperies
Follow-Up Care, Maintenance, & Cleaning Services
We want your custom window coverings to last as long as possible. We offer a limited lifetime warranty, follow-up care, maintenance instructions, and professional window treatment cleaning services that can extend the lifespan and maintain the beauty and value of your window coverings. When you purchase window treatments from a Big Box store, you likely won’t even get warranty coverage for your products. We offer long-term care and support resources and can help you eliminate stains, dust, and allergens that reduce the lifespan of your window treatments, diminish their aesthetic appeal, and affect your indoor air quality. Our professional window treatment cleaning services are tailored to the material, type, and style of window treatment you have and will keep them in top-notch condition.
High Commitment to Customer Satisfaction
Big Box brands aren’t necessarily known for their exceptional customer service. If you have a product that doesn’t fit right, falls apart right away, or otherwise isn’t worth the money you spent on it, you often have to eat the cost. By contrast, our team has a high commitment to customer satisfaction. We treat our clients like family and try to build strong, lasting relationships based on trust. We are transparent about our pricing and conduct our business with honesty and integrity. We offer our clients the information and resources they need to make an informed decision about how they want to spend their hard-earned money. We make every effort to tailor our services to your needs and goals, and our design, fabrication, and installation teams are committed to quality workmanship and amazing customer service. Our goal is to make sure each custom window treatment fits perfectly in your windows, enhances the beauty and value of your home, and gives you increased control over your privacy. If you aren’t satisfied with a product, we will do everything we can to make it right.
Carolina Shutter Quality vs Big Box Brand Quality
At Carolina Shutter & Blinds, we offer amazing, quality products made right here in the USA. Our highly personalized services guarantee window treatments specifically designed for your home. Our design consultants can help you choose the perfect window treatments for your home’s architecture, interior design, and overall beauty. We want to help you bring your unique vision of your dream home to life. When you choose Big Box brand window treatments, you have very little control over the size, quality, color, and design of your window treatments. They are very likely manufactured in a different country with little oversight and almost no quality control measures. In most cases, Big Box brands are designed to fall apart in a few years, so you will have to throw them out and buy more. By contrast, our window treatments are designed to last for decades. They are custom-designed, manufactured, and fitted for your specific home. They are then professionally installed and precisely configured to enhance the beauty of your home and increase its security, privacy, and comfort.
