Customers frequently called my business asking for “levolors”. After sighing to myself, I’d gently ask them to be more specific. “Is there a particular type of Levolor you’re looking for?” The unhelpful and somewhat impatient reply might have been something like “You know, the ‘levolors’”.
People have some misconceptions about Levolor and “levolors”. First off, Levolor is a famous and long-time window treatment brand name . As a manufacturer, Levolor produced many different types of blinds and shades, both custom and stock. In more recent years, this company, together with its strong brand recognition, was absorbed into the Hunter Douglas family. The label continues to thrive today as an important box store offering.
Now to the misconceptions. Some folks would swear that “levolor” was synonymous with vertical. Others were adamant that “levolors” were 1” mini blinds. And, there were still other opinions but if you capitalize the “l”, they’re all right, at least, sort of. Since the Levolor label appears on many different types of products, be prepared to give your salesperson or consultant a more detailed description so you can get the treatments of your choice.
