With this lighting test, you can know exactly how much privacy and transparency you want from your curtains. This test is also why we recommend shopping for your sheer curtains in person.

It is possible to increase the thickness of your sheer curtain after purchase. Aside from layering, you can add a curtain lining or a privacy liner. Using these options will give you more control over your privacy, especially the privacy liner, as it is removable. 

Sheer Drapes
Blackout Window Shades New York City

Blackout curtains are different from regular curtains in that they are specifically designed to block out light, whereas regular curtains may allow some light to pass through. Blackout curtains can be used in bedrooms to improve sleep, in media rooms to enhance the viewing experience, or in offices to reduce glare on screens. They are also often used in hotels and other commercial buildings. Overall, blackout curtains are a useful tool for creating a dark and restful environment.

Efficiency, convenience, comfort, and security are the four pillars on which smart home technologies rest. If you are planning to live in such a home, one of the first things to get is an automatic curtain opener. If you are skeptical about our suggestions, explore the benefits of installing automated curtains in your home to understand why it’s a ‘smart’ investment.

Motorized Drapes
Drapes Curtains

Drapes are a more ornate window treatment often made custom to specific windows. Like curtains, the purpose of drapes is to block light, offer privacy, and add visual interest to a room. The visible fabric of drapes is also typically heavy and somewhat stiff, with common materials including velvet, damask, and silk. 

New York means versatility. Your business suit needs to go from grabbing coffee on the street to after-work cocktails. Do you need natural light to open up your postage-stamp-sized apartment, or a window treatment capable of blocking out the flashing lights – or both? Are you looking to boost your premise’s energy efficiency, or give it a sleek modern look – or the perfect mix of the two?

These guys are absolutely terrific. Not only did Eli show up on time to make a sale, he was actually early to do the installation. C’mon who ever heard of contractors being on time on both ends? Great customer service and I got my blinds earlier than I expected …. and they are exactly what I wanted. You will make a huge mistake and waste your time using anyone else for you window coverings. NO NEED TO COMPARISON SHOP. Eli is the one!!!

What can I say. Eli is an amazing representative. He recommended motorized roller shades and they look spectacular. My wife who is probably the most hardest pleasing woman in the world raves about these blinds. I would recommend the motorized shades to everyone. Simple easy to use. Thank s Eli

I purchased a wooden shade for my bedroom 2 1/2 weeks ago and am very pleased with it. The solid wood looks lovely next to my bookcases and contrasts well with my blue walls. The remote device for lifting and lowering the shade is convenient. Ely, my salesman and installer did a great job. He came to my apartment with large selection to show me. The delivery installation were on time and perfect. I have only nice things to say about this experience.

Empire window did an incredible job with all our window treatment! Eli from the team was incredibly helpful and patient as we had to go back and forth several times. He was creative in find solutions for an unconventional set of windows and limitations and we couldn’t be happier with the results! The prices are also unbeatable and I’m glad to say the the quality is superb. We have motorized shades in our bedroom that are so quiet, Venetian blinds for our office and beautiful linen drapes for our living room. Highly recommended!

5 stars for Eli and Empire Window Treatment Center! Our Hunter Douglas Silhouette blinds were a disaster-a filthy mess( believe it or not we had them installed in 1997). During our apartment renovation our decorator insisted that we would have to throw them away and spend thousands of dollars on new blinds. I called Empire Window Treatment Center and Eli came over, looked at them and assurred us he could clean them and get them to look brand new. My wife and I, as well as our decorator were all a little skeptical, but sure enough, when Eli brought them back they were spotless and indeed looked brand new! As an added bonus, Eli is a really nice guy. Thanks Eli!!

Fantastic find. The service and shades itself are high in quality. The sales representative keeps his word, comes on time, delivers exactly what we needed, installs shades in no time. Price for installment is included in total price. A tiny con: When I was still shopping around and asked the company to wait for a while it was obvious, they got offended. Overall it was good experience and satisfaction with the final result.

Working with Eli was a positive experience. He had really beautiful swatches, and helped me choose solar and blackout shades. All my windows are custom size. He was patient, polite and professional. The window treatments look great, and I am considering ordering some roman shades or curtains to complete the look.
