Design and Builder Trade Partnerships
Window Treatment Support for Designers and Builders
Window treatments affect privacy, light, proportion, mounting, hardware, and the finished look of the room. Our trade program gives designers, builders, realtors, and other home professionals a window treatment resource they can bring into a project when needed.
There are two program structures. One lets us bill the client directly and handle the window treatment portion of the job. The other lets you keep billing in-house while using us for consultations, measuring, quoting, specifications, ordering, and product samples.
Window Treatment Support That Fits the Way You Work
The window-treatment piece should not become the part of the project everybody starts chasing at the end. We work with designers, builders, realtors, and other home professionals who want someone experienced to handle that category without creating more work for the rest of the team.
Some partners want to make an introduction and let us handle the client relationship from there. Others want to keep billing and the primary client relationship in-house while using us for product knowledge, measuring, sampling, quoting, specifications, and ordering support. The two program structures are designed around those different needs.
Bring us in at the right point
Window treatments are easier to plan when they are considered before the room is completely finished. Window depth, trim, hardware, furniture placement, electrical planning for motorization, and the amount of stack or wall space available can all affect the final treatment.
For remodels and new construction, an earlier conversation can help identify those constraints before they turn into avoidable compromises at the end of the project.
Use the room, not a catalog
Product samples are most useful when they can be compared against the actual flooring, paint, cabinetry, fabrics, trim, and natural light. For client-facing work, that also gives the homeowner a clearer reason for the recommendation and makes it easier to narrow the options.
Keep specifications practical
The treatment still has to operate correctly after the design decision is made. Measuring, product specifications, mounting conditions, control type, opacity, lining, hardware, and motorization all need to fit the opening and the way the client will use it.
That practical layer is where a dedicated window-treatment partner can support the design or construction team without competing with the larger project relationship.
Commission Based Program
The commission-based program is for partners who want to make the introduction and let us handle the window treatment work and client billing from there.
Wholesale Design/Builder Trade Pricing
The wholesale program is for professionals who want to keep the primary client relationship and billing while using our product knowledge, measuring, quoting, specifications, ordering, and sampling support.
What Helps a Trade Project Move Smoothly
The best handoff is a clear one. We do not need every detail settled before the first conversation, but a few pieces of information make it much easier to identify the right level of support and avoid duplicated work.
Project scope
Knowing which rooms or openings are involved, whether the project is a remodel, new construction, furnishing update, or standalone window-treatment project, and where the job is located gives us the starting point for the conversation.
Functional priorities
Privacy, room darkening, glare, heat, outside views, child or pet considerations, ease of cleaning, and frequency of operation can narrow the product field quickly. These priorities matter just as much as the visual direction.
Design direction
If the room already has a palette, finish schedule, fabric direction, or established design, we work inside it. The window treatment should support the project you already designed, not pull it somewhere else.
Responsibility and billing
The commission-based program is designed for partners who want us to bill the client directly and handle the window-treatment details. The wholesale design and builder program is designed for professionals who want to bill their own client while using our support for consultations, measuring, quoting, specifications, ordering, and product sampling.
