DRAPERY FAQ
Common Questions from Homeowners
Essential insights into our architectural measurement, fabrication, and automation process.
How do you measure windows accurately for custom drapery?
expand_more
Our certified field technicians conduct 3-dimensional sub-millimeter laser measurements of window frames, architectural casing, ceiling heights across multiple points, and floor level variances. This accounts for structural settling and guarantees that your custom drapery hangs with exact 1/4-inch floor clearances or perfect floor puddling according to your preference.
Can drapery and shades be motorized to open on a timer?
expand_more
Yes. Through our smart bridge integrations (Somfy TaHoma or Lutron Smart Hub), you can program automatic astronomical sunrise/sunset schedules, mid-day solar protection routines, or single-touch bedtime modes via your smartphone or voice commands through Apple HomeKit and Amazon Alexa.
What is the typical lead time for custom drapery and shades?
expand_more
Typical custom fabrication takes approximately 3 to 4 weeks from fabric selection and final laser verification. Because our drapery work is harmonized with MetroCraft’s cabinetry projects, installation can be perfectly synchronized with your overall renovation or move-in timeline.
Do you provide blackout options for master bedrooms?

Absolutely. We offer premium 3-pass thermal blackout linings, acoustic interlinings, and dual-roller solar/blackout cassettes with side channels that eliminate edge light haloing, ensuring true 100% room darkening for uninterrupted sleep.
