Nashville and Carolinas production windows: Frisco-style growth without Texas install

Middle Tennessee and the Raleigh–Durham corridor built out like north Collin County in the 2010s — Lennar, D.R. Horton, Pulte, and Meritage master-planned sections in Franklin, Murfreesboro, Mount Juliet, Apex, and Holly Springs. Same window modules as DFW production homes: 34.5" bedrooms, 46.5"–57.5" living areas, rear patio slider. High closing volume, ship-heavy market — we ship from Texas; local install is hire-out only.

Common in: Franklin · Murfreesboro · Mount Juliet · Nashville · Apex · Raleigh

Quick answer

What Nashville and Carolinas new-construction buyers standardize on:

  • 2" faux wood whole-home spec — white cordless on most closing-day orders
  • Roller shades on patio sliders — trending on new master-planned closes
  • 34.5", 46.5", and 57.5" stocked widths — same as DFW and Atlanta
  • Four-season climate allows faux wood statewide — real wood still not recommended for whole-home humidity swings
  • Shipped from Texas — pro install in DFW only
  • Ships nationwide from Texas
  • Custom cut to measured size
  • Mini, vertical & faux wood lines
  • Mount notes by material

Nashville and Carolinas housing types behind the measurements

The growth story is master-planned production on former farmland — repeating builder SKUs, HOA white front elevations, and bare windows at closing.

  • 2010s–2020s master-planned SF (Franklin, Murfreesboro, Mount Juliet): open layouts, rear patio slider — same modules as Frisco 2015 stock
  • Raleigh–Durham suburbs (Apex, Holly Springs, Wake Forest): high ship-to volume, national builder catalog
  • Townhome rows in urban infill (Nashville, Charlotte): narrow fronts — see production townhome guide
  • Basement and walk-out less common than Midwest — standard slab modules dominate
  • HOA architectural review on front elevations — white faux wood default
  • Investor and second-home closes common — ship nationwide from Texas HQ

Mounting by material & situation

New production jambs in Tennessee and the Carolinas usually have adequate depth for inside-mount faux wood — confirm HOA color rules on front elevations before ordering.

2" faux wood blinds

Whole-home default on Nashville and Raleigh production closes — one white SKU across every bedroom and front-facing window.

  • Inside mount — standard production jamb

    Measure width at top, middle, bottom; use narrowest. 34.5" from 35" openings on most bedrooms. Needs roughly 1½"–2½" clear depth.

    Min depth:
    ≈ 1½"–2½"

  • HOA front-elevation white spec

    Franklin and Apex master plans often require white or off-white treatments visible from the street. Match faux wood color across the whole order for architectural review photos.

  • Two-story great-room tall drops

    Second-story family room windows may need 72"–84" drops — confirm ladder access or hire a local installer for upper floors.
