Southeast housing types behind the measurements
North Georgia and the Carolina Piedmont mix older suburban ranch stock with explosive new master-planned growth — same national builder window catalogs, different era of construction and trim profiles.
- 2010s–2020s master-planned SF (Alpharetta, Woodstock, Holly Springs): open kitchen–family layouts, rear patio slider — Avalon, Sterling on the Lake, Halcyon-style sections
- 1980s–2000s brick ranch belt (Marietta, Roswell, east Cobb): picture windows in front, slider in rear — mixed inside/outside mount
- Carolina growth (Fort Mill, Indian Land, Waxhaw): same modules as Atlanta north corridors — high closing volume, ship-heavy
- Townhome rows in infill and master plans: repeated bedroom widths floor to floor — see our production townhome guide
- Basement daylight and walk-out rarer than Midwest — most plans slab or crawl with standard bedroom modules
- HOA front-elevation white spec common on master-planned fronts — confirm before ordering colored faux wood
Products Atlanta and Southeast production orders use most
Faux wood covers whole-home bedroom specs. Rollers lead patio slider upgrades. Vertical remains a budget patio option on ranch stock.
2" faux wood blinds — whole-home default
34.5", 46.5", and 57.5" stocked widths — moisture-resistant PVC for humid summers.
Roller shades — patio slider favorite
Light-filtering and blackout fabrics, fascia mount on new production closes.
3.5" vertical blinds
Budget patio slider option — 68×84 and 78×84 reorder sizes.
Typical opening → blind size
Typical reorder bands for shipped Atlanta and Southeast production-home orders — measure each opening:
| Opening (approx.) | Order size | Room |
|---|---|---|
| 35" | 34.5" | Bedrooms (most common) |
| 47" | 46.5" | Kitchen / dining |
| 58" | 57.5" | Family room window |
| 71"–96" | 70.5"–95.5" | Great-room picture window |
| 72" × 80" patio slider | Roller or 68" × 84" vertical | Rear patio slider |
Mounting by material & situation
New master-planned jambs usually allow inside-mount faux wood. Older ranch returns can be shallow — measure depth before assuming inside mount on the whole house.
2" faux wood blinds
View product line →Whole-home default on Southeast production closes — white cordless 2" PVC, one SKU across bedrooms and front elevations when HOA requires consistency.
Inside mount — new production jamb
Measure width at top, middle, bottom; use narrowest. Most new-build bedrooms need 34.5" blinds from 35" openings. Needs roughly 1½"–2½" clear depth.
- Min depth:
- ≈ 1½"–2½"
- Hardware:
- Supplied brackets; #8 screws into vinyl jamb liner
Ranch-belt outside mount
Pro often used1980s–90s brick ranch picture windows often have proud trim or shallow returns — face-mount on the flat trim board with 1½"–2" overlap per side.
- Min depth:
- N/A — mounts on trim face
HOA front-elevation color rules
Alpharetta and Woodstock master plans often require white or off-white treatments visible from the street. Submit product specs to architectural review when required.
Roller shades
View product line →Trending on new Southeast closes for patio sliders and primary suites — light-filtering or blackout, fascia mount above slider headers.
Rear patio slider — fascia mount
Pro often usedMeasure exact glass width and height. Mount fascia above the slider frame. Blackout fabric popular on west-facing primary bedrooms.
- Hardware:
- Supplied fascia brackets; #8 screws into solid header
Wide great-room glass

View product line →Budget patio slider option — stocked 68×84 and 78×84 reorder pairs on ranch-belt and garden-apartment-adjacent stock.
Wall-mount track above patio slider

When to hire a pro in Atlanta
First-floor bedroom installs are often DIY on newer production stock. Patio sliders, two-story tall drops, and whole-home orders at closing push many Atlanta buyers toward a local installer. We custom-cut and ship blinds nationwide from Texas; in-home installation is available in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro only.
Frequently asked questions
What blind sizes fit a new construction home in Alpharetta or Marietta?
Start with 34.5" blinds for standard bedrooms, 46.5" and 57.5" for living areas, and measure patio sliders separately. Ranch-belt homes may have non-standard picture windows — measure each opening; do not assume one width for the whole house.
Do Atlanta production homes use the same sizes as DFW?
Yes — national builders reuse the same regional window modules (34.5", 46.5", 57.5") across DFW, Atlanta, Houston, and Charlotte corridors. Still measure each opening; elevation and options change room to room.
Do you install in Atlanta or Charlotte?
We install in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro and ship custom-cut blinds nationwide. Southeast buyers typically hire a local installer for patio sliders and whole-home closing orders.
Do you ship to Georgia and the Carolinas?
Yes — custom-cut blinds ship nationwide from Texas. Atlanta and Charlotte are top ship-to metros on production-home orders.
