The guidance below reflects general industry tendencies in attached and townhome construction — not any builder’s proprietary specifications. Always measure your own windows before ordering.
How Townhome Windows Differ from Single-Family Homes
Production townhomes are built for efficiency — the same window SKUs repeat across units in a community, just like detached production homes. The difference is layout: attached fronts, stacked floorplans, and smaller patio openings change which rooms get which sizes, not the underlying module catalog.
- Narrow front windows (often 24"–32") on street-facing elevations
- Bedroom widths still cluster around 35" openings on every floor
- The same blind width frequently repeats on the 2nd and 3rd story
- Smaller patio sliders or none at all compared with detached plans
- End units may have extra or wider windows — always measure yours
Most Common Blind Sizes
Townhomes use the same inside-mount deduction as other production homes (~½" off width). These are the openings we see most often on new townhome orders:
| Window opening | Typical blind width | Common room |
|---|---|---|
| 24" | 23.5" | Narrow front / stair landing |
| 30" | 29.5" | Front elevation, small bedroom |
| 35" | 34.5" | Bedrooms (most common) |
| 47" | 46.5" | Kitchen, dining, larger bedroom |
| 58" | 57.5" | Living / great room (when present) |

What Townhome Owners Usually Buy
2" faux wood blinds are the runaway favorite for new townhomes — one color and width spec across every floor keeps the community look consistent and the total cost down. Roller shades are popular in the main living level when owners want a cleaner, modern line. Mini blinds work for budget rooms, garages, and investor rentals.

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 new townhome?
Start with the same production-home widths as detached builds: 34.5" blinds for 35" bedroom openings are the most common order. Add 23.5"–31.5" widths for narrow front windows. Measure each opening on every floor — townhomes often repeat the same width upstairs and down.
Do Lennar and D.R. Horton townhomes use the same window sizes?
Generally, yes — national production builders pull from the same regional window catalogs, so townhome communities from Lennar, D.R. Horton, Pulte, and KB Home tend to reuse the same handful of opening widths within a market. Your community and elevation still matter, so measure before ordering.
Should I use the same blinds on every floor of my townhome?
Most owners choose one product line and color for the whole home — usually 2" faux wood in Classic White — so every room matches. If the living level has taller windows or you want a cleaner look there, roller shades on the main floor with faux wood upstairs is a common split.
Are townhome front windows harder to cover?
They are often narrower (24"–32"), which is well within our custom cut range. Measure the exact opening, choose inside or outside mount, and enter your dimensions in the configurator — we cut to your size rather than selling fixed big-box lengths.
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.
