Facility managers, designers, and contractors need more than off-the-shelf window treatments. They need a partner—one who understands commercial timelines, complex installations, and the realities of managing multi-property or recurring projects.
That’s why we built The Trade Program: a dedicated window coverings program designed specifically for professionals who work at scale. With exclusive pricing, bulk-order support, and commercial-grade expertise, the program helps you stay on schedule, on budget, and on spec—project after project.
Whether you’re outfitting a new office tower, refreshing a senior living facility, or coordinating phased upgrades across multiple buildings, The Trade Program gives you the structure and support to move forward with confidence.
