Window Sizes in D.R. Horton Communities
D.R. Horton builds at higher volume than any other U.S. builder — Express, America’s Builder, and regional Horton brands all depend on repeating the same window SKUs across floorplans and entire subdivisions. In DFW and nationwide, that means your Horton neighbors often share the same width families even when the elevation looks different.
- Bedrooms and secondary rooms: ~35" openings (34.5" blinds) on most Horton plans
- Townhome fronts: narrower 24"–32" windows on attached elevations
- Living areas: 47"–58" openings on many single-family and end-unit plans
- Sliding patio doors on most floorplans (usually left bare or fitted with roller shades)
- Same width often repeats on multiple floors in Horton townhome layouts

The patterns above are a starting point — your specific floorplan and any builder upgrades can shift them, so always measure. Measure each opening's width at the top, middle, and bottom and height at left, center, and right. For an inside mount, report the exact opening and the factory deducts about ½" for clearance; for an outside mount, add 1.5–2" of overlap per side. Our measuring & installation guide has step-by-step instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size blinds do I need for a D.R. Horton home?
Most D.R. Horton rooms fall into the same stocked width families: about 34.5" blinds for standard bedrooms, with 46.5" and 57.5" in larger living spaces. Horton townhome plans add narrower 23.5"–31.5" front windows. Measure each opening — Express, America’s Builder, and regional Horton communities vary by elevation and options.
Does D.R. Horton include blinds when you buy the home?
It depends on the community, price tier, and any options you selected at closing. Some D.R. Horton homes include basic window coverings or offer them as an upgrade; many deliver bare windows. Check your purchase agreement and D.R. Horton’s official documents and guides (linked below). If you need to outfit bare windows, Horton production-home sizes make it straightforward to order matching blinds afterward.
Do D.R. Horton Express homes come with blinds?
Express communities are priced for volume — many Horton Express homes deliver bare windows, while some include basic coverings or offer them as a design-center upgrade. Check your purchase agreement and Horton’s documents and guides (linked below), then measure each opening before ordering.
Are D.R. Horton townhome windows different from Horton single-family windows?
Horton often uses the same regional window modules across product types in a market — townhomes just place them differently (stacked floors, narrow fronts, smaller patios). The blind sizes you need are usually the same catalog widths; the room layout is what changes.
Can I order blinds for my entire D.R. Horton home at once?
Yes. In Dallas–Fort Worth, schedule a free in-home measure so we can confirm every opening, quote a precise fit, and include installation unless you prefer DIY. Outside DFW we ship custom-cut blinds nationwide — use our measuring guide or a local installer.
What blinds are best for a D.R. Horton home?
Roller shades are what most D.R. Horton owners choose first — especially for open floorplans, patio sliders, and primary bedrooms. 2" faux wood blinds are the other common whole-home pick when you want one durable spec in every room. Pick one product and color for the full house rather than mixing treatments room to room. In Dallas–Fort Worth, schedule a free measure for a quote with installation included; outside DFW we ship nationwide for DIY or local install.
