Locally Focused Sustainability
Besides being aesthetically pleasing, the window treatment selected by The Blind Lady addresses many indoor environmental issues: heat gain management, r-factor considerations that keep your home warmer in the winter, glare control, and daylighting (reducing the need for artificial light.) These factors play an essential role in conserving energy and enhancing the quality of your home’s indoor environment, all lending themselves to creating an enjoyable home for your family that is sustainable, comfortable, and healthy.
Human Rights
In support of the basic human right of freedom, we chose to use manufacturers that do not use slave labor in their factories. Every attempt is made to research those organizations before any new lines of window treatments are added to The Blind Lady Custom Blinds offerings. Fabrication of hard window treatments: blinds, shades, and shutters is done in the United States of America at various locations throughout the country. Our drapery workroom is located in West Lafayette, Indiana, USA.
A Greener Planet
Locally all packing supplies from your new window treatments are sorted and recycled appropriately.
Bubble wrap is donated to various businesses and non-profit stores to be reused in their packaging.
Manufacturers that The Blind Lady utilizes either have a policy or have been encouraged and requested to implement a policy to reduce waste in their manufacturing process.
