What Should I look For in A Warranty
When shopping for Las Vegas window treatments, the word "Lifetime" is often the most prominent part of the warranty, but the word "Limited" is actually the most important.
Because you are selling these products, understanding these nuances will help you build trust with your customers. Here is what a high-quality warranty should cover and what to watch out for:
1. The "Big Three" Coverage Areas
A comprehensive blinds and shutters warranty should be broken down into three distinct categories, as they often have different expiration dates:
Operating Mechanisms (The "Hardware"): This includes headrails, tilt gears, and cord locks. Quality brands usually cover these for the life of the product (often defined as 10–25 years).
Materials (The "Look"): This covers warping, cracking, or "delamination" (where fabric layers peel apart). Shutters usually have longer material warranties than fabric shades.
Motorization (The "Tech"): Electronics almost never have a lifetime warranty. Look for a standard 5-year Las Vegas window blinds & shutters coverage on motors and remote controls.
2. Labor and "Trip Charges"
This is the most common surprise for customers.
Material-Only Warranties: Many manufacturers will send you a replacement part for free, but they won't pay for the professional to come to your house to install it.
Service Warranties: As a local seller, you provide immense value if you offer a 1-year "labor guarantee," meaning you’ll handle the removal and re-installation at no cost if a defect occurs shortly after purchase.
3. Cords: The 7-Year Rule
Due to the mechanical stress placed on strings and ladders, many top-tier manufacturers (like Hunter Douglas) limit cord coverage to 7 years. If a company offers a full lifetime warranty on cords, it’s a major selling point.
4. What is Not Covered (The Fine Print)
Be transparent with your customers about these standard exclusions to avoid disputes later:
Fading: Slight fading due to UV exposure is usually considered "normal wear and tear."
Accidents: Damage from pets, children, or "moving-day mishaps" is rarely covered.
Humidity: If a wood blind is placed in a high-moisture bathroom and warps, most warranties will be voided because it was "misapplied."
