Window Field Guide · San Antonio & Central Texas Production Homes

San Antonio and Central Texas production windows: between Houston and the Hill Country

Greater San Antonio fills the gap between Houston volume and Austin hill-country views — slab CBS and stucco production from Perry Homes, Lennar, D.R. Horton, and David Weekley across Schertz, Cibolo, New Braunfels, and the northside corridors. Military PCS moves drive high ship-to volume on bare-window closes. Window modules match other Texas production builders: 34.5" bedrooms, 46.5"–57.5" living areas, rear patio slider — often with a covered patio similar to Houston rear patios rather than a Florida lanai.

Common in: San Antonio · Schertz · Cibolo · New Braunfels · Universal City · Boerne

Quick answer

What San Antonio new-construction buyers standardize on:

  • 2" faux wood in bedrooms — whole-home white spec on most closes
  • Roller shades on rear patio sliders — trending on new Perry and Lennar plans
  • 34.5", 46.5", and 57.5" stocked widths — same modules as Houston and DFW
  • Face-mount on stucco returns when shallow frames block inside mount
  • Shipped from Texas HQ — pro install in DFW only; hire locally in San Antonio
  • Ships nationwide from Texas
  • Custom cut to measured size
  • Mini, vertical & faux wood lines
  • Mount notes by material

Central Texas housing types behind the measurements

San Antonio metro mixes military-adjacent master-planned growth on the north and northeast corridors with Hill Country-influenced elevations — but the window catalog stays on national production-builder modules.

  • Northside master-planned (Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City): 2010s+ production SF, rear patio slider — high PCS closing volume
  • New Braunfels / Comal County growth: same modules with occasional wider great-room glass on hill-country views
  • Inside-410 infill townhome rows: narrow fronts, repeated bedroom widths — link to production townhome guide
  • Perry Homes concentration: one of the largest private builders in Texas — heavy San Antonio footprint
  • CBS/stucco slab construction: humidity lower than Houston but summer heat still favors PVC faux wood
  • Bare windows at closing standard — buyers order after move-in using builder width chart

Mounting by material & situation

CBS block returns on San Antonio production homes often allow inside-mount faux wood — stucco ears and shallow vinyl sashes still appear on some elevations. Measure each opening.

Whole-home default on San Antonio production closes — white cordless 2" PVC across every bedroom and front-facing window.

  • Inside mount — standard production jamb

    Most new-build bedrooms need 34.5" blinds from 35" openings. Measure depth at both top corners before ordering inside mount.

When to hire a pro in San Antonio

PCS moves often mean quick whole-home orders — many San Antonio buyers hire a local installer for one-trip closing-day coverage. We custom-cut and ship from Texas; professional installation is available in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro only. Same-day DFW delivery does not apply to San Antonio addresses — plan ship lead time from Irving.

Frequently asked questions

What blind sizes fit a new Perry or Lennar home in San Antonio?

Start with 34.5" blinds for standard bedrooms, 46.5" and 57.5" for living areas, and measure patio sliders separately. San Antonio uses the same production-builder modules as Houston and DFW — still measure each opening.

Do you ship to San Antonio on PCS moves?

Yes — we ship custom-cut blinds nationwide from Texas. Many military buyers order before arrival and coordinate delivery with closing — provide gate codes and builder address when ordering to a new community.

Do you install in Schertz or New Braunfels?

Professional installation is available in Dallas–Fort Worth only. San Antonio buyers typically hire a local installer; we supply sized product and SKU lists.

How is San Antonio different from Houston for blinds?

Window modules are the same; humidity is lower in San Antonio but summer heat still favors PVC faux wood. Houston has more Gulf humidity; San Antonio has more hill-country wide glass on upgraded elevations.
