Every Olvex Home window treatment is measured for your space and custom-made for your project. We help you choose zebra or roller shades, compare light-control options, and complete the installation.
Custom blinds and shades begin with the actual windows—not a size picked from a shelf.
During your home visit, we look at the openings, trim, nearby hardware, room use, and the way you want light and privacy to feel. Those details guide product and fabric selection before your shades are produced for the project.
Professional measurement matters because small differences can affect mounting, alignment, coverage, and the finished appearance. We record the project dimensions and review the proposed choices with you before the order moves forward.
Zebra and roller shades are our two current window-treatment categories. Both are made to measure for your project.
01
Zebra shades
Zebra shades use alternating sheer and more opaque fabric bands. As the layers move past each other, you can shift between a more open view and greater coverage while keeping the shade at the window.
The layered horizontal pattern adds a visible design element, making zebra shades a useful choice when you want the window treatment to contribute to the room’s look.
Roller shades use a single, clean panel of fabric that raises and lowers at the window. Their simple profile works well when you prefer an uncluttered appearance or want the fabric choice to carry the design.
They can suit living spaces, bedrooms, home offices, and other rooms where straightforward light and privacy control are priorities.
Light filtering and blackout describe how a fabric manages light. They are options within zebra and roller shade collections, subject to the fabrics available for the selected product.
Light filtering
Choose light-filtering fabric when you want to soften daylight while keeping the room brighter. The right choice depends on the privacy you need, the direction of the windows, and how the room is used.
Blackout
Consider a blackout fabric when reducing incoming light is a priority, such as in a bedroom or media space. Fabric choice, mounting, and normal edge gaps all affect the result, so we review the complete window rather than relying on the fabric label alone.
Are all Olvex Home blinds and shades custom-made?+
Yes. We do not sell ready-made window coverings. Each project begins with an in-home consultation and measurements for the specific windows in your home.
Is blackout a separate type of shade?+
No. Zebra and roller shades are the two product categories we currently offer. Light-filtering and blackout describe fabric and light-control choices that may be available within those categories.
How do I choose between zebra and roller shades?+
Think about the look you prefer, how often you want to adjust daylight, the privacy needed in the room, and whether you prefer a layered or minimal profile. We help you compare suitable options in your own space.
Why does professional measurement matter?+
Window dimensions, mounting position, nearby handles, trim, and how multiple windows align can all affect the finished fit. Measuring at your home lets those details inform the order before custom production begins.
Is the first home visit free?+
Yes. Olvex Home offers a free in-home measurement and estimate in our Greater Cleveland service area.
