Window treatments that are available in the stores are not enough for homeowners in Upper Marlboro.

Whether you’re looking for custom-measured, custom-built blinds, shades, or shutters, Buy Home Blinds offers professional quality window coverings for the residents of Upper Marlboro, MD without the showroom price tag.
From window blinds on a bank of large windows in a Westphalia townhome, to blinds in a south-facing living room in the vicinity of the Prince George’s County Courthouse to the need to replace worn, outdated builder-grade blinds across a Marlboro Ridge home before listing it for sale, window blinds create a measurable escalation effect on how a home looks, feels and operates throughout the year.

Window Treatments Built for Upper Marlboro Homes and Maryland’s Climate
Window treatments in Upper Marlboro, MD can do more than just manage light; they play a key role in your home’s energy efficiency. During the summer, the county of Prince George produces extended periods of direct sunlight during the afternoon hours which cause higher temperatures in the interior of the house and higher cooling costs in rooms with west and south exposures. In the winter months, unsealed windows loosen a massive amount of heat on every leaky sill and frame.
Buy Home Blinds products are carefully chosen to solve these issues. Cellular shades are the most energy-efficient shade available, and they’re the best option for Upper Marlboro residents who want to keep their BGE and PEPCO savings while still keeping rooms looking great. Solar shades are perfect for rooms where you want privacy and control of glare and heat gain while still seeing outside – like a home office, screened porch conversion or sunroom. Wood and faux wood blinds are a good way to increase the insulating mass of a standard double-hung window, and they will stand up to the moisture changes caused by Maryland’s four seasons.
Each product is shipped cut to fit your specific window space. No window dimensions to work around, no trim around the edges, and no light leaks around the frame – since all measurements are made from your actual windows prior to production.
Our Window Treatment Products for Upper Marlboro, MD
Faux Wood Blinds
Wood blinds are especially suitable for the numerous traditional and colonial neighborhoods in Upper Marlboro. Living rooms and dining rooms that want a softer look and feel to their interior spaces benefit from the addition of real basswood slats, which are available in stained or painted finishes. Faux wood blinds are the wise option for bathrooms, kitchens and any rooms where the moisture level is greater. This composite material doesn't warp, crack or peel in the humid summer climate of Maryland, and can be easily damp-cleaned. Both styles come in 2-inch slat and 2.5-inch slat widths, with cordless lift and motorization.
Roller Shades
Roller shades are one of the most popular choices in the Upper Marlboro homeowners catalogue, including all newer construction builds, and are the most versatile. For the window designs that aim to have a minimum window profile, a single-fabric flat shade rolls flat neatly onto a narrow window headrail. Select light filtering fabrics to diffuse and not block light, room darkening fabrics to block unwanted light in bedrooms and home theaters, or solar fabrics to reduce the glare without obscuring views outside. Roller shades can also come with motorization and smart home technology, so that you can program your shades to roll up and down automatically with the sun.
Cellular Shades (Honeycomb Shades)
Cellular shades are the most effective window treatments for energy efficiency available for Upper Marlboro, MD residents. It uses the honeycomb effect, which creates an air seal between window glass and the interior of the house, to provide insulation, minimizing heat gain during the summer and heat loss during the winter. Regular rooms are well insulated with single-cell construction. Double-cell and triple-cell choices offer better insulation for rooms that are larger and require large window areas, west or south-facing rooms, or older single-paned windows that are not due to be replaced. Cellular shades come in a top down/bottom up option – which is great for homes in Upper Marlboro where privacy is important by the street but not by the roof.
Solar Shades
Solar shades have been created for rooms where view protection and glare control need to go hand-in-hand. The ideal application is a home that has an east-facing breakfast room, a home office that has screen glare issues, or a living room that has afternoon sun. Solar shade fabrics range from 1% to 10% sunlight filter, where lower percentage will block more sunlight and higher percentage will let more outdoor visibility and visible light. The most common opening fabric requested for Upper Marlboro clients with direct afternoon exposure is 3%. Fabrics with a 5% percentage work best in areas where the concern is to keep the view in but reduce the glare moderately. Buy Home Blinds carries both single roller and dual roller shades with a solar fabric and a room-darkening fabric on a single unit for versatile day-to-night use.
Roman Shades
Roman shades provide a soft draping window treatment for situations where it's better to have fabric than a hard slat window treatment. They fold horizontally at the openings when they are raised and stay flat when they are lowered and are a popular option for formal living rooms, primary bedrooms or dining areas in Upper Marlboro properties where the window treatment is a part of the design rather than a background. Linings are either light filtering or room darkening, and there are both cordless and motorized lift mechanisms.
Plantation Shutters
Plantation shutters are the only window treatment that adds measured resale value to a home. Shutters are the top choice for Upper Marlboro homeowners in the process of selling their home or investing in a long-term home. In humid and temperature fluctuations, like Maryland, the natural wood shutters would warp, while composite (PVC) shutters would maintain their shape and painted finish for years and years. Louver widths are available in 3.5 inch and 4.5 inch widths, with the 4.5 inch louver option being a more contemporary look, and resulting in a cleaner view when open. Professional installers ensure that every shutter is level, louvered and that tilt rods run smoothly, while also custom building shutters to match your specific window opening.

Frequently Asked Questions – Window Treatments in Upper Marlboro, MD
Q: How do I measure my windows for custom blinds or shades in Upper Marlboro?
Measure window opening width and height at top, middle and bottom and at left, center and right; and take the minimum measurement for each size. If applying the treatment is inside the frame, this will ensure the blind or shade will not rub. If mounting outdoors, apply 2 to 3 inches to each side of the width, and 3 to 4 inches over the frame to ensure complete coverage and optimum light blocking. There are detailed measuring guides and videos on buyhomeblinds.com and our team is there to assist you before ordering.
Q: What is the best window treatment for energy efficiency in an Upper Marlboro home?
Cellular shades are the most thermal window coverings available. The honeycomb structure also forms an insulating air gap between the window and your room, which minimises the transfer of heat in and out of the window. Double-cell cellular shades are the most effective choice for reducing heating and cooling bills for Upper Marlboro homes, as these windows receive both the sun’s heat and humidity during the hot and humid summer months and are exposed to the cold winter winds during the winter months.
Q: Are motorized blinds and shades available for Upper Marlboro homes?
Yes. Available in a variety of shades, Buy Home Blinds has motorized options in a wide range of shades and products, such as roller shades, cellular shades, solar shades and Roman shades. Motorized shades can be battery-operated, plug-in, or hardwired, and some models work with the smart home controls system like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit. For windows that are hard to reach, such as those over a built-in, above a kitchen sink (or hard to access), or for setups that involve whole home automation and schedules, motorized window treatments are the recommended choice.
Q: How long does it take to receive custom blinds ordered for an Upper Marlboro address?
For most custom orders we ship within 5-10 business days (transit 2-4 business days depending on carrier) after receiving your order. Plantation shutters and motorized systems might need more production time. These are production and delivery estimates that you will find in your order confirmation, depending on the choice of products. Select product lines are available for rush orders; please check with the Buy Home Blinds team for availability before ordering a rush order.
Q: Can I get professional installation for my new window treatments in Upper Marlboro?
Yes. While the majority of our Buy Home Blinds products are made to be easily DIY installed and include all necessary hardware listed with the order, we join Prince George’s area residents with installers who strive to save them the trouble and stress of putting the blinds in place. Installation services are particularly suggested for plantation shutters, large format motorized shades and any whole residence project, where a consistent end result in multiple rooms is the goal.
Q: What window treatments are best for new construction homes in Westphalia and Beechtree?
When building a new home in Westphalia, Beechtree, Marlboro Ridge, homes will typically have open floor plans, large groupings of windows, tall ceilings, and little window trim. Roller shades are a go-to option for these builds, as the slim profile of the headrail fits today’s architectural aesthetic, the flat fabric surface accommodates wide windows without a visual burden, and the complete fabric opacities enable light control solutions for each room in the project with one product family. Bedrooms would be the upgrade in which cellular shades prove to be the most worthwhile investment because of the extra insulation and room-darkening they provide.
Q: Do you offer blinds for sliding glass doors and large windows in Upper Marlboro?
Yes. Sliding glass doors and wide openings can have both panel track blinds and vertical blinds that slide, and both types are custom made to fit your door dimensions. Extra wide solar shades and roller shades are also offered for oversized picture windows and window walls. When using for sliding glass door applications, please communicate with our technical staff about the direction the door opens and the available wall clearance, since the direction of stacking the treatment needs to be free of the door opening.
Q: What is the price range for custom window treatments from Buy Home Blinds?
Custom roller shades and cellular shades begin at an affordable price per window, compared to the price you’d find at a show room or franchise. The most expensive window investments are plantation shutters, which are determined by window size and louver width.
