Graber is one of the smartest names in custom window treatments — the same designer looks you'd expect from a premium brand, engineered by Springs Window Fashions and priced for whole-home projects. But like every window treatment, the real question isn't how it looks in a catalog. It's how it looks on your window, in your light, next to your wall color.
So we built a way to answer that before you spend a dollar. As an authorized Graber dealer serving the DMV area, Nation's Blinds offers a free AI visualizer that renders any Graber treatment onto a photo of your own window in about 10 seconds — closed, half open, or open, with a before-and-after slider.

Graber Shades
Cellular Shades
Graber's honeycomb shades trap air in insulating cells, cutting heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer — with single- and double-cell options, light-filtering to blackout fabrics, and cordless and Top-Down/Bottom-Up operation. Try Cellular Shades on your window →
Pleated Shades
Crisp accordion pleats in a huge fabric range, at one of the friendliest price points in custom window treatments — a clean, tailored look for bedrooms, offices, and whole-home orders. Try Pleated Shades on your window →
Roller Shades
Minimal hardware, maximum fabric choice: Graber rollers run from airy light-filtering weaves to full blackout, with cordless and motorized lift options for a clean modern line on any window. Try Roller Shades on your window →
Solar Shades
Keep your view, lose the glare. Solar screen fabrics in multiple openness levels block UV and heat while preserving the outlook — the right call for sunrooms, offices, and rooms with strong afternoon sun. Try Solar Shades on your window →
Sheer Shades
Soft horizontal fabric vanes suspended between two sheer layers — tilt them open for glowing, diffused light and view-through, or close them for privacy. The designer-shading look at Graber value. Try Sheer Shades on your window →
Layered Shades
Alternating sheer and opaque bands slide past each other, shifting one shade from open view to soft privacy in a single motion — the modern "zebra" look that's everywhere in new builds right now. Try Layered Shades on your window →
Fresco™ Roman Shades
Soft fabric folds with a custom-drapery feel, in hundreds of fabrics and patterns — the warmest, most decorative shade in the lineup for living and dining rooms. Try Fresco™ Romans on your window →
Graber Blinds
Wood Blinds
Genuine hardwood slats in rich stains and clean paints — real grain and warmth with the classic 2-inch profile that suits traditional and transitional DMV homes alike. Try Wood Blinds on your window →
Faux Wood Blinds
The wood look built for kitchens and baths: composite slats that shrug off moisture and humidity without warping or fading, at a price that makes covering every window easy. Our most-requested Graber product. Try Faux Wood Blinds on your window →
Horizontal Aluminum Blinds
Slim 1-inch aluminum slats that are durable, easy to clean, and quietly contemporary — a practical workhorse for kitchens, utility rooms, and offices. Try Aluminum Blinds on your window →
Vertical Blinds
The proven answer for sliding doors and wide windows: smooth-gliding vanes in fabric and vinyl, with modern headrails that leave the clacky verticals of the past behind. Try Vertical Blinds on your window →
Graber Panels & Shutters
Sliding Panels
Wide, flat fabric panels gliding on a multi-channel track — the modern, architectural alternative to verticals for patio doors, oversized windows, and room dividers. Try Sliding Panels on your window →
Shutters
Graber plantation shutters in wood and durable composite, with wide louvers and custom frames — a permanent architectural upgrade that adds value to the home, at a meaningfully gentler price than premium hardwood lines. Try Shutters on your window →
Most Graber lines are also available motorized — remote, app, and smart-home control. Ask us about it at your consultation.
Graber vs. Hunter Douglas: Which Should You Choose?
We carry both brands, so here's the honest dealer's answer. Hunter Douglas leads in signature innovations — there's no true equivalent to Silhouette® or Luminette® — and in premium finishes and its PowerView® automation ecosystem. Graber delivers 90% of the designer look in the core categories (cellular, roller, faux wood, layered) at a noticeably better price, which matters when you're covering ten windows instead of two. Many of our DMV customers mix them: Hunter Douglas statement treatments in the living spaces, Graber workhorses in bedrooms, baths, and basements. The visualizer makes the comparison concrete — render both brands on the same window photo and judge with your own eyes. And at your free in-home consultation, we bring physical samples of both.
How to See Any of These on Your Own Window
Three steps, no appointment: open the free AI visualizer, upload a photo of your window (stand back so the full window is visible), and pick any Graber style. In about 10 seconds you'll see a photorealistic preview on your actual window — drag the slider to compare before and after, and download the image to share.
