Custom Blinds & Shades

Menards makes it easy to have beautiful custom blinds and shades! All you have to do is select the type of custom window treatment you want, enter the dimensions of your window and select either the inside or outside mount option. Not sure whether to go with blinds or shades? If you want to have greater control over the natural light in the room, then blinds are the way to go. They have slats that can easily be adjusted to allow as much light as you desire in the room. Shades do not have slats like blinds, but they consist of material on a continuous roll to give your window a smooth appearance. Shades are available in different levels of opacity to allow the perfect amount of natural light inside.

We carry a great variety of custom blinds for your windows. If you want to add a natural element to your room, wood blinds are an attractive choice. However, if you live in a humid environment, faux wood blinds are the way to go, since they have the beauty of wood, but won't warp from moisture. Vinyl blinds are one of the most common types of blinds that you will see in most homes. For a more durable option, consider installing aluminum blinds. Interior shutters will give your room traditional appeal and provide greater privacy. Our selection of unique alternative blinds will give your windows a one-of-a-kind look.

If you prefer a softer, smoother look, then shades might be the right choice for you. One of the basic choices for shades, roller shades have a smooth, simple appearance that can easily complement your decor. If you want to have shades with more visual interest, pleated shades offer subtle shape and texture. Cellular shades are also pleated, but their construction makes them energy efficient. Clean, horizontal folds also make Roman shades an attractive choice for your windows. Give your room earthy appeal with our great selection of natural shades. Keep out the glare of the sun and protect the interior of your home from harmful UV rays with solar shades.

Larger custom window treatments are great for large windows and patio doors and can be an excellent accent for your room. Drapes are a classic choice for larger windows and provide a great choice of fabrics that can complement the decor of your room. For greater control over the light in your room, vertical blinds are your best option. If you are torn between drapes or vertical blinds, soft vertical blinds combine the best of both as they imitate the soft folds of drapes while allowing you to adjust the slats for more or less light. Panel shades offer versatility in style as they are a great option for large windows, but can also be used as room dividers.
