Typical Window Sizes in Meritage Production Homes
Meritage focuses on energy-efficient production housing at scale across North Texas suburbs. That volume means repeated window SKUs across floorplans — your neighbors in the same community often share your width families.
- Bedrooms: ~35" openings (34.5" blinds) on most plans
- Living areas: 47"–58" windows on open-concept layouts
- Great rooms and optional upgrades: 71" picture windows
- Attached plans: narrower front windows on townhome-style elevations
- Patio sliders common — roller shades or bare glass at move-in

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 Meritage home?
Start with 34.5" blinds for standard bedrooms, then 46.5" and 57.5" for living areas. Wide great-room windows may need 70.5" blinds or wide roller shades. Measure each opening — Meritage options vary by community and elevation.
Does Meritage include blinds in the home price?
Inclusion varies by community and design-center selections. Many Meritage homes deliver bare windows. Review your purchase agreement and Meritage homeowner resources below, then measure before ordering.
Can I order blinds for my entire Meritage home at once?
Yes — we recommend one product line and color for the whole home. Schedule a free in-home measure or contact us for a single quote with installation included. Nationwide shipping available.
What blinds are best for a new construction home?
2" faux wood blinds are the most popular choice for production homes — durable, moisture-resistant, and the lowest cost way to cover every window in one order. Roller shades offer a cleaner, modern look in living areas and bedrooms, but cost more per opening. Sliding patio doors are usually left uncovered or fitted with roller shades rather than vertical blinds.
