Custom wood and faux wood Blinds with Smart Privacy Feature

So what is SmartPrivacy™, exactly?


For centuries, blinds have had very little innovation and are made with unsightly holes in the slats. Our patented solution, SmartPrivacy™, is designed to have no visible holes when the blinds are closed. The result is a sleek and elegant appearance with tight closure and trouble-free operation.

So...take a closer look at what kind of difference our SmartPrivacy™ blinds can make in your home...


Here's what you'll get if you decide to go the conventional route...


Conventional blinds offer no extra protection against sunlight coming in through the slats and route holes, and through the sides of the blinds.

Take a look at the Norman SmartPrivacy™ difference...



Our custom wood and faux wood blinds are designed with privacy and energy efficiency in mind. They are made with superior durability, meaning you will not have to buy new blinds a few years down the road! They are measured and made to fit your windows, exactly. Conventional blinds typically are much longer than the window, meaning you'll have about 1"-3" of excess bunched up and laying in the bottom of your window sill; or worse yet, hanging outside of your sill (for those conventional blinds that were not cut to fit your window). Our custom blinds are made as long as your window, so you'll not have any excess at the bottom.

  • Unlike traditional privacy blinds, SmartPrivacy™ blinds are the only functional blinds on the market today.
  • SmartPrivacy™ combines superior light blockage with privacy
  • Tight slat closure in both directions with a smooth tilt mechanism
  • Patented child safe cord release device for enhanced safety.
  • 3¼” Designer Crown Valance adds to an overall sleek and elegant look

Fort Worth Blinds: Choosing the Right Shutters

Custom blinds, shutters & drapes from Trinity Uptown

Shutters are an excellent choice for any homeowner. They look extremely nice, and add an element of timeless class. Any aesthetic improvement to your property can increase its value, which makes shutters a great investment. Furthermore, they can be custom-fitted to your window, and they are easy to clean. In short, the decision to install window shutters on your property is a good one.

However, there are some considerations that should go into the decision to purchase shutters. Most importantly, the property owner needs to know if their window casings can support shutters. Some shutters are very heavy, and window casings that cannot support the weight will be damaged. A professional can easily determine if your window casings can support shutters. If your window cannot support the weight, you can have additional framing installed.

Shutters are made from a variety of materials. Each type of material has its own set of considerations and advantages.
  • Genuine wood shutters are generally the most expensive, and they can be quite heavy. However, wooden shutters offer unparalleled beauty and elegance. There is really nothing quite like genuine wood shutters.

  • Faux wood shutters offer looks similar to wood, with a lower price and weight. In many cases, it is very difficult to tell faux wood from genuine wood.

  • Vinyl is the cheapest option, but is very light and easy to maintain. Vinyl shutters are still very attractive visually.
There are hundreds of options when it comes to shutters. Once you have chosen the material, there is a wide variety of colors and styles to choose from. There are styles to fit any type of house and window. Trained and experienced experts from Trinity Uptown can meet all of your window shutters needs.
