4 Major Factors That Affect the Price of Curtains and Roller Blinds

After gaining a general understanding of different types of curtains and roller blinds, let’s briefly introduce the factors that affect their prices: brand, origin, fabric, production method, and provide a few examples to illustrate:

Brand and Origin: Generally speaking, the price of foreign brands is higher than that of domestic brands. Although foreign brands cost more, the brands introduced by Elementi Curtains are widely praised and have relatively guaranteed quality.

Fabric and Production Methods: The price range can vary greatly due to differences in fabric materials, sewing, and accessories. For example, manual roller blinds use less fabric and have no accessories other than brackets and drawstrings, making them more affordable. However, if you choose an electric system, you need to install an additional motor and remote control/pull rod, which increases the price significantly. Dimmable roller blinds, being essentially double-layer roller blinds, use more fabric, which affects their price. Additionally, honeycomb curtains and snake curtains, with their more complex structures, are more expensive due to the variety of fabric amounts, production methods, and accessory choices.

Finally, remember that in addition to the cost of the curtains themselves, there are additional expenses such as installation fees and shipping costs, which need to be included in the overall cost of curtain installation.
