Hummingbird Shutters

Wow! I have a new found appreciation for Installers of soft treatments. I have installed shutters and blinds for years, with only the occasional challenge. Today I was installing some custom drapery panels for the South Carolina Southern Living Home presented by Southern Living approved builders Dillard-Jones. Since this is a show home and I am providing the draperies and woven wood shades I decided I would save some money by installing the custom draperies. The finished length of the panels were 120″, so I was on a ladder all day. Needless to say it was a learning experience. The installation went well (slow, but well) and I will soon be posting photos on our website www.hummingbirdshutters.com and www.excitingwindows.com/hummingbird

What could be a better motivation than a change of seasons to help you get started making your home as beautiful as it can be for the coming holidays, indoor entertainment and your family’s warmth, comfort and enjoyment? Fall is really a perfect time to consider new window décor ideas so as to be certain your updated home will look fresh and new in time for holiday parties and family get-togethers.
From My Home News Nov 2008
It is not to late to dress up you windows with Shutters, roller or cell shades, top treatments or even woven wood shades. Visit us today at Hummingbird Shutters

A simple solution to improve drafty rooms is to layer high R-rated fabrics and materials over or under existing window coverings. If you already have beautiful custom window fashions in place, how about new, vaned cellular blinds for a layer of heat transfer-stopping beauty. These blinds come in myriad light-controlling densities and color options certain to accent your windows while working hard to save you energy dollars. Other innovative shades and blinds and shutters also offer a vast improvement in heat-retention around your windows, and provide an added layer of beauty as well. Ask me about the incredibly gorgeous, high thermal quality fabrics and linings now available in creating custom draperies for your home. You simply won’t believe that such beautiful materials can also save you money, even in the short term.

We have recently transitioned our company name. Why some have asked? We believe that adding Exciting Windows to our name gives us a broader scope in the custom window covering industry. While we still locally manufacturer our own quality Plantation shutters; we have expanded our offerings over the years to include all hard treatments, including products by Hunter Douglas. Recently, we added custom drapery (with fabric offerings from Carole, Lafayette and RM Coco), and professionally trained design consultants. And our most recent expansion is offering window films or window tinting.

With all the changes, we are still the same company with the same mission…to offer the best products at great pricing, all the while remembering that “it is all about our client”, so crafting custom window products and offering exceptional customer service is for their enjoyment and benefit, not ours.

We are pleased to announce that we are manufacturing a wood shutter with a hidden tilt rod mechanism. This is available in both our 3.5″ and 4.5″ Louver Plantation shutters. These are perfect when you have a spectacular view and want to limit the distraction to the eye. Visit our product gallery on our website www.hummingbirdshutters.com and/or contact us for a free consultation.

With the Upstate of South Carolina being so close to the border of North Carolina we often get asked if we serve the bordering communities. We have served many satisfied clients, over the years in Tryon, Lake Lure, Mill Springs and Columbus, North Carolina. Samples of our work may be viewed at our website www.hummingbirdshutters.com

Give us a call and let us create beautiful, exciting windows for you.
