Production townhome types behind the measurements
National builders deploy the same townhome SKUs in every growth market — the archetype is the attached row product, not the city name on the community sign.
- Three-story row with front garage (2000s–present): 34.5" bedrooms stack floor to floor — dominant type in DFW, Atlanta, Phoenix, Nashville
- Two-story villa / paired product: shared wall, separate patio slider — common in Florida and Texas master plans
- End unit vs interior unit: end units often have extra side windows — measure both
- Impact-window replacements (Florida, Gulf Coast): thicker frames — verify depth per floor
- HOA architectural review: white faux wood or matching white rollers on street-visible elevations
- Bare windows at closing — whole-home single-color orders reduce architectural rejection
Products production townhome orders use most
White faux wood for HOA-safe whole-home specs. Rollers on rear sliders. Vertical on budget investor stock.
2" faux wood blinds — HOA whole-home spec
White cordless faux wood — one color across every opening for architectural review.
Roller shades
Rear patio sliders and primary suites — light-filtering or blackout.
3.5" vertical blinds
Budget rear slider — 68×84 and 78×84 reorder sizes.
Typical opening → blind size
Typical reorder bands for production townhome rows — measure each opening on each floor:
| Opening (approx.) | Order size | Room |
|---|---|---|
| 30"–32" | 29.5"–31.5" | Narrow front / stair window |
| 35" | 34.5" | Bedrooms (repeats per floor) |
| 47"–58" | 46.5"–57.5" | Living / dining |
| 72" patio slider | Roller or 68" × 84" vertical | Rear patio slider |
Mounting by material & situation
Townhome front windows are often narrower and shallower than rear elevations — pick mount type per opening, not per floor. Standardize color across the whole home for HOA photos.
2" faux wood blinds
View product line →The whole-home default on production townhome closes — white cordless 2" PVC, one SKU and color for architectural review consistency.
Stacked floors — measure each level
Pro often usedFloorplans repeat but settlement, impact replacements, and end-unit side windows change sizes between levels. Do not copy first-floor measurements to the third floor without checking.
Narrow front window — outside mount
Street-facing windows beside the garage are often under 32" wide with shallow returns — outside mount on trim face with 1½" overlap when inside depth fails.
- Min depth:
- N/A — mounts on trim face when shallow
HOA white spec submission
Submit product cut sheets or photos to architectural review before ordering colored treatments on front elevations. White faux wood is the default approved spec in most master-planned rows.
Roller shades
View product line →Rear patio sliders and primary suite upgrades — match white or off-white fabric to faux wood spec when visible from the street is not a concern.
Rear patio slider only
Pro often usedMost HOA scrutiny is on front elevations — rear sliders accept rollers with less review friction. Fascia mount above header; see patio slider guide.
Primary suite blackout
Blackout roller on rear-facing primary bedrooms — same 34.5" width module as standard bedrooms.
3.5" vertical blinds
View product line →Budget patio slider spec — less common on new townhome closes than rollers but standard on rental townhome stock.
Rear slider — face-mount track
68×84 or 78×84 vertical pairs — stack side away from primary walk-through. Not typical on front narrow windows.
When to hire a pro on production townhomes
Third-floor long drops, narrow front outside mounts, and whole-home closing-day timelines push many townhome buyers toward a local installer — especially when HOA requires photo submission after install. We ship custom-cut blinds nationwide from Texas; professional installation is available in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro only. DFW townhome buyers can book free measure at homebuilderblinds.com/schedule-measure.
Frequently asked questions
Are townhome windows the same on every floor?
Floorplans repeat, but impact replacements, end-unit side windows, and settlement change openings between levels. Measure each floor separately — especially on end units.
What blind color do townhome HOAs require?
Most master-planned rows require white or off-white treatments visible from the street. White 2" faux wood is the default whole-home spec that passes architectural review in DFW, Florida, Atlanta, Phoenix, and Nashville communities.
How is this different from the Florida condo guide?
This guide covers production townhome rows nationwide — stacked SF attached product with patio sliders. The Florida condo guide adds high-rise towers, lanai rules, and Florida-specific humidity and impact-window notes.
Do you install townhomes in DFW?
Yes — we install across the DFW metro including Frisco, McKinney, and Irving townhome rows. Book free in-home measure at homebuilderblinds.com/schedule-measure. Out-of-state townhomes ship nationwide; hire locally for install.
