Unless you post the window sizes for the shades hard to know

this is a very rough estimate - 25x9 ft for the duette, 18x9 for the nantucket total

thanks

Yes it is a good price. They had a rebate for $400.00 a little while ago, you should look into it

ill preface that i am ignorant of these shades---but nearly 700$ per shade?--for sizes less than 2 feet by 1 foot??

top of the line levolor blinds would be <50$ per shade

and a chimp can install shade of this size and application

I wonder if a chimp could glance over this thread and realize the difference between inches and feet?

seven 25 by 9 foot shades?

and 4 18 footers?

is this a 20,000 sq ft loft??

i wonder if a moron would suggest shades are sold in dimensions measured in feet?

Seems pretty good, considering the numbers thrown around at http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/25427-motorized-window-treatment

It's the long thin motors, to fit in the head rail, that really jack up the cost.

NWT, I remembered that thread which was the one that really blew me away. I wonder what the warranty would be on the motor? Is there a manual way to open if the motor goes? That would be my main concern before commitment.

nwt i was told the motors are 200-300 extra each shade for battery operated (hunter douglass brand).

although the salesman for shadesco said the ones he uses are an extra 600 each shade

Before worrying about wbottom's opinion, ask yourself, what kind of jackass names "him"self after his own pointy ass?
