Why Arch Window Treatments Are Expensive

Tags: , , , , , ,

If you ever wanted to buy arch window blinds, you may have noticed that their price is way higher than the price of normal, rectangular blinds and shades. You might have felt frustrated that you had to pay more, but there are a few reasons why this is happening:

First of all, we are talking about custom blinds, hence expenses that need to be covered by producing fewer units. In case of mass production, such common costs are lower per piece. Rectangular windows are pretty much the standard, therefore rectangular blinds are also very common. The more pieces a manufacturer makes, the lower the production cost.

Then, here it comes the psychological factor: people who afford home improvements customization will have higher purchasing power, so they will be ready to pay more than regular guys and even feel better for that. It’s great to be able to tell your friends how much you paid for your arched top bamboo blinds, isn’t it? Price makes them special. It’s like in case of expensive cars that are as good as cheaper ones, but perceived as luxury items because of their price.

So, it seems that even expensive blinds for arches or curved windows have their customers.
