I had my windows fitted by Avenue a few years ago, and while they look great, and lasted beautifully, they were very expensive.

In a new place now - in need of new bamboo panels, a couple verticals or roller shades (not sure yet), and some cloth drapes.

Recommendations of companies that won't try to sell me things I don't need and / or bleed me dry would be appreciated!

TIA

Bestfull Windows had everything! Seriously make a trip to Dragonmart and you'll see how many different things they offered. We bought wood blinds from Ikea and DH needs to cut them down on both ends to make them fit and then we went to Bestfull a few days later and saw they can make them custom for the windows, nicer colors and quality, and for no more than Ikea.

Thanks SunDevil...will give them a try for the verticals and roller shades. Does anyone know of a company who works with bamboo panel tracks?

We recently used Bestfull Window Tracery at Dragonmart. They're in FBD02 and we had vertical blinds made for 3 large sliding glass doors that go out to our patios and balcony. They were 180X214 and we paid 635dhs for all three total. They were ready in 2 days. I picked the design and color. We installed them ourselves and they are a cinch to install. 050 886 8269 I'm going to call them again this week and have more vertical blinds made and some roller shades made.

Thanks Ladies, but looking for a company that does custom made window treatments. I know they're more expensive, so looking for a company that you all have used and are pleased with. Less expensive than Avenue would be nice!

Home Center in Oasis Mall [Shk Zayed'> had a sale recently. They had curtains and blinds on discount. The prints, colors and styles were limited but the material was good quality.
