Pittsburgh's Factory-Direct Window Treatment Manufacturer Since 1963

Three Generations. One Pittsburgh Factory. Over 60 Years.

The story of Lachina Drapery & Blind Factory is the story of a Pittsburgh family that believed in making things the right way — and never stopped.

Built in Pittsburgh. Built to Last.

Lachina Drapery & Blind Factory didn’t start as a business strategy — it started as a craft. A belief that window treatments should be made by hand, to exact measurements, by people who take real pride in their work. Over 60 years later, that belief still drives everything we do.

1963

The Beginning

The first generation of the Lachina family opened a small custom drapery workroom in Pittsburgh’s South Hills. From day one, the philosophy was simple: make every piece by hand, measure every window precisely, and stand behind the work completely. Pittsburgh homeowners noticed immediately.

Growing the Factory

As Pittsburgh’s housing market boomed, so did Lachina. The second generation joined the business, bringing new techniques while preserving the handcrafted standards the brand was built on. The factory expanded. The showroom grew. The reputation spread from Dormont throughout the tri-state area.

2000s

Blinds & Shades Division

Consumer demand shifted toward blinds and shades, and Lachina adapted — bringing in premium brands like Hunter Douglas and Graber while maintaining the factory-direct model that made the business unique. The factory could now produce the full spectrum of window treatments: from hand-sewn draperies to precision-cut blinds.

Wexford Showroom Opens

North Hills customers had been driving to Dormont for years. We listened. The Wexford showroom opened to serve Cranberry Township, McCandless, and the fast-growing suburbs north of Pittsburgh — bringing the same Lachina experience closer to home for thousands more families.

3rd Generation

The third generation of the Lachina family now operates the business — with the same factory, the same commitment to craftsmanship, and the same no-pressure, shop-at-home philosophy that started it all in 1963. In a world of online retailers and franchise chains, Lachina remains something rare: a real Pittsburgh manufacturer that makes what it sells.

Our Pittsburgh Factory

Most window treatment companies are retailers — they order from a supplier and mark it up. Lachina is different. We’re a manufacturer. Our Pittsburgh factory is where custom draperies are cut, sewn, and finished by hand. It’s where cornices are built to precise measurements. It’s where quality is controlled before anything ever leaves for your home.

Visiting our factory means understanding why Lachina prices are lower, quality is higher, and turnaround is faster than anything you’ll find from a franchise or online retailer. We’re not buying the same products they are — we’re making different ones.

FACTORY FEATURES

  • Full custom drapery cutting and sewing department
  • Cornice and valance fabrication workshop
  • In-stock fabric warehouse with thousands of selections
  • Blind and shade assembly and finishing
  • Upholstery department for custom furniture and headboards
  • Quality control before every installation

Our Values

Made in Pittsburgh

Every drapery, cornice, and Roman shade is made in our Pittsburgh factory by skilled craftspeople. We don't outsource what defines us.

01

Factory-Direct Pricing

No franchise fees. No retail markups. No middleman. You pay what a factory customer should pay — and you get custom quality doing it.

02

No-Pressure, Always

We believe in earning your business — not pressuring you into it. Our consultants are educators, not salespeople. Take as long as you need.

03

Precision Over Speed

We re-measure before every fabrication order. It takes longer. It costs us more. We do it anyway — because a window treatment that doesn't fit perfectly isn't acceptable to us.

04

We Stand Behind Everything

If it's not right, we make it right. That's the Lachina commitment — backed by 60 years of standing behind our work in Pittsburgh.

05

Your Home, Your Schedule

Our free shop-at-home service brings the showroom to you. We work around your schedule, in your home, where you can actually see how things will look.
