The Unique Challenges of Historic Home Window Treatments

Historic homes are not just filled with history and character– but it also has its unique quirks.

Standard window treatments often do not fit or function properly in these spaces. Here are some

common issues:

Non-Standard Window Sizes: Older homes often have taller, narrower, or oddly shaped windows that require custom solutions.
Temperature Fluctuations: Many older homes often lack the proper insulation, making it colder and hotter in certain rooms in the house. These can lead window treatments to have issues of warping, fading, or brittleness.
Sunlight Damage: Prolonged exposure to the Texas sun can fade wood floors, vintage rugs, and antique furniture.
Aesthetic Consistency: It is important to maintain a cohesive, period appropriate look inside these historic homes. This can be sometimes difficult when updating the window treatments, especially when it comes to preserving these historic homes.

That is where Bumble Bee Blinds of Waco and Temple steps in– we offer tailored solutions that

meet both aesthetic and function.

We understand that historic homes are not alike, and your window treatments should be just as

unique. Here is how we can help:

Tailored Fit: Our window treatments are custom-made to perfectly fit unusual window dimensions, from arched panes to floor-to-ceiling frames. We will work with you to find the perfect solution!
Energy Efficient: We know that the Central Texas heat (or those surprise winter chills) are no joke. We think that with cellular shades, layered drapery, or insulated Roman shades can offer both style and thermal control in these historic homes.
UV Protection: We understand how important it is to preserve these homes, that is why we think that our sheer shades and solar screens can help filter harsh sunlight. These will protect your interiors while still letting in beautiful natural light.
