I love my blinds from Budget Blinds (I've done all my business with Ken). I have top down/bottom up types since my windows open both ways and they are triple cell opaques, they seem to insulate very well. I also had a roman shade made for a six foot wide window in the kitchen and wooden ones for a bahroom downstairs and a window that faces north east. It's nice to not have all the extra at the bottom you get with out of the box blinds. They also carry the stringless type is you have kitties or Kiddies. I guess you could order the same types from another outfit (Lowe's/Home Depot/Nextday-btw not next day around here), but BB price includes the measuring and installation. I have alot of windows so I've only done them as I've remodeled/redecorated the rooms. It's a little more gentle on the pocketbook that way.
