Practical comfort, four-season style, and hometown craftsmanship—brought to you by Lachina Drapery & Blind Factory.
Why Your Pittsburgh Windows Need Special Attention
Living in Western PA means wrestling with lake-effect snow flurries, steamy July humidity, and dazzling low-angle sun that bounces off our three rivers. The right window treatments add more than curb appeal; they help your furnace and A/C work smarter, protect furnishings, and keep every room comfortable year-round.
1. Insulate Like a Yinzer
Those January drafts in Western Pennsylvania? Block them with cellular (honeycomb) shades. Their air pockets act like mini storm windows, trimming heat loss by up to 40 %. Add a custom-lined drapery on top, and you’ll feel the difference the next time the mercury dips below 20 °F.
Lachina advantage: Our extensive collection of Thermal Lining looks like classic cotton sateen but hides a high-tech mylar core for maximum R-value—sewn right here in our Dormont workroom.
2. Layer Up for Style & Control
Design pros predict layered looks—think airy sheers beneath ripple-fold linen panels or woven-wood shades paired with velvet drapes—will dominate 2025. Layers let you fine-tune light on gray winter mornings, block glare during Pirates day-games, and add hotel-chic depth to any room.
Lachina advantage: Because we fabricate both layers in-house, hems align perfectly, patterns match, and hardware stays hidden.
3. Go Smart, Save Energy
Motorized shades aren’t just for penthouses anymore. Program yours to lower on frigid nights and lift with the morning sun to capture passive warmth (or do the reverse in August). Our Somfy- and Graber-compatible motors integrate with Alexa, Google Home, and local energy-tracking apps—so you can tap, talk, or automate your way to lower utility bills.
4. Beat the Humidity
Steam-filled bathrooms, riverfront condos, and century-old kitchens love moisture-resistant faux-wood blinds, aluminum minis, and vinyl rollers. They laugh off warping and wipe clean in seconds while keeping a crisp, tailored look.
Lachina advantage: We custom-tint faux-wood slats to match Pittsburgh’s signature oak trim or that trendy Iron City black you just painted your shiplap.
5. Café Curtains for Historic Charm
Row-house kitchens and Craftsman bungalows often feature shorter, divided-light windows. Café curtains—hung halfway up the sash—preserve privacy while letting in daylight (and showing off that new succulent collection). Choose a classic ticking stripe for nostalgia or bold color-block linen to keep the look fresh.
6. Sustainable Choices
Our city’s a green-building hotspot, so why not dress your windows to match? We offer OEKO-TEX®-certified fabrics, bamboo shades, and recycled-poly sheers that shrug off Pittsburgh’s changing weather while treading lightly on the planet.
