What makes Accent on Windows different from other window treatment stores?

Accent on Windows combines decades of design experience, certified installation, and Hunter Douglas partnership to deliver truly custom solutions. We handle every detail from consultation and measurement to fabrication and installation, ensuring a perfect fit every time.

Can you work within my budget and recommend affordable options?

Absolutely. We carry a broad range of products at different price points, and our design team can recommend solutions that balance aesthetics, privacy, and cost efficiency.

Do your products come with a warranty?

Yes. All Accent on Windows products are backed by manufacturer warranties, and our installation workmanship is guaranteed.

Do you serve both residential homes and commercial businesses?

Yes. We provide window treatments for residential, commercial, and hospitality spaces, offering durable and flame-retardant fabrics for professional settings.

Do you have a showroom I can visit?

Yes. Accent on Windows has a spacious showroom at 936 Brighton Avenue in Portland, Maine with working displays that we invite you to visit and explore samples with our design experts.

What types of blinds, shades and shutters do you offer?

We offer blinds, shades, shutters, draperies, custom top treatments, and bed coverings including Hunter Douglas Silhouette, Pirouette, Vignette, Duette, Luminette, Aria, Aura and PowerView motorized systems.

How are custom window treatments better than off-the-shelf options?

Custom treatments are precisely measured, professionally installed, and built with superior materials. They deliver better insulation, smoother operation, and a design that aligns perfectly with your home.

Do you offer motorized or smart-home connected window treatments?

Yes. We feature PowerView, Somfy, and Lutron motorization options that integrate seamlessly with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home.

Can I control my shades remotely or by schedule?

Yes. With PowerView automation, you can raise, lower, or preset scenes from your smartphone or voice assistant.

What are the advantages of cellular honeycomb shades?

Cellular shades are designed with air pockets that trap heat, making them one of the most energy-efficient window treatments available. They help insulate your home year-round, keeping rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer. They also provide excellent sound absorption and come in both light filtering and room darkening fabrics.

How can window treatments improve energy efficiency and reduce utility costs?

Insulating and cellular shades help reduce heat transfer, lowering energy costs in winter and summer. Sheer and light filtering fabrics also reduce reliance on artificial lighting.

How long does the process take from consultation to installation?

Most projects are completed within 2.5 to 4.5 weeks depending on product type and fabric availability.

How do I schedule a consultation?

Call (207) 772-1088, email gaillerman@accentonwindows.net, or use the online contact form on our website.

Are your window treatments child and pet safe?

Yes. We offer cordless, motorized, and retractable lift systems that meet current child-safety standards and remove dangling cords.

Do you offer post-installation service or adjustments?

Yes. If your shades need adjustment or repair, we provide in-home service and warranty support for one year after installation. Subsequently, manufacturers warranties are in effect.
