Window Treatments in Orlando: Custom Shutters, Shades, and Blinds from VU

Pricing stays competitive because there's no franchise fee, no factory markup, and no outsourced labor cost on top of the product. We're just a short drive away.

If you're shopping for window treatments in Orlando, you have three real options.

• You can buy off-the-shelf blinds at Home Depot or Lowe's and put them up yourself.

• You can order through a national franchise that subcontracts the manufacturing and the install.

• Or you can hire a local company that builds and installs with its own crew.

  
  

VU Window Treatments is the third option. We've been making custom shutters, shades, and blinds in our Ocoee facility since 1984.

What we make: Custom shutters, shades, and blinds, fabricated in our 16,000 sq ft Ocoee facility.

Where we serve: Greater Orlando, Melbourne, Jacksonville, and Tampa. Track record: American-made, lifetime warranty, 350+ installs in the last twelve months.

When the same company measures, builds, and installs, fewer things go wrong. If a shutter is off by a sixteenth of an inch, we remake it. No warranty claim, no service ticket, no waiting on a factory in another state.

What we manufacture and install

Plantation shutters in composite, faux wood, and real wood. We size every panel to the actual window opening, not to a stocked range. You pick the louver width, the frame style, the tilt mechanism, and the hinge color. We build for arched windows, French doors, sidelights, transoms, and most specialty shapes. For most Florida homes, composite or faux wood is the better call. Real wood looks great, but it can warp and swell in our humidity.

Roller shades in solar, light-filtering, and blackout fabrics. Solar shades come in 1%, 3%, 5%, and 10% openness ratings. Lower numbers block more glare and UV. We carry fabrics from Norman, Alta, Lafayette Interior Fashions, and Mecho Shades.

Motorized shades with battery, hardwired, or solar-charged power. They work with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Control4, and Lutron. Our crew handles the motor, the hub, the scenes, and the app pairing. We also build outdoor motorized shades for lanais and patios in Sunbrella fabrics rated for direct Florida sun.

Cellular shades (also called honeycomb shades) for energy efficiency. Single-cell and double-cell options with R-values up to 5.0 and beyond, in light-filtering, room-darkening, or full blackout fabrics.

Dual shades combine a sheer and a blackout shade on a single bracket. The right answer for primary bedrooms and ground-floor living rooms where you want a daytime view and full privacy at night.

Faux wood and real wood blinds in 2-inch and 2.5-inch slat widths, cordless or motorized lift. Cordless is the default for any home with kids or pets.

How the process works

1. Free in-home consultation. We come to the house with full-size fabric and material samples. We measure every window, talk through your priorities, and hold the actual samples up against your windows in your own light. No showroom visit needed.
   

2. Detailed quote. You get a written quote that breaks out every window, every product spec, and the install. The number on the quote is the number you pay.

   
   

3. Fabrication. We build everything in Ocoee. Shades and blinds usually take two to three weeks. Shutters take three to five.
   

4. Professional installation. Our own installers handle the install. They re-check the measurements on site, hang the products, test the operation, and walk you through how everything works before they leave.

   
   

5. Follow-up. If something doesn't operate right a few months in, we come back out. Every product is covered by our lifetime warranty.

   
   

How a local manufacturer compares to a national franchise

Companies like Budget Blinds, 3 Day Blinds, and Gotcha Covered are sales organizations. They take your order, route it to a third-party manufacturer, and assign the install to a contractor on their roster. Each step in that chain adds cost, and when something goes wrong, accountability gets split across companies that may not even talk to each other.

We're the manufacturer and the installer. We measure, we build, we hang. When something needs adjusting, we're a short drive away, not a service ticket sitting in a corporate queue. Pricing stays competitive because there's no franchise fee, no factory markup, and no outsourced labor cost on top of the product.

Most of our work comes from referrals in the neighborhoods we serve.
