# Graber Blinds

> Graber designs and manufactures custom window treatments — blinds, shades, shutters, and drapery — made to order for each customer's windows and sold through a network of local dealers and design experts. The site's purpose is to help people compare product types, order free fabric swatches, and connect with a dealer; window treatments themselves are not purchased online.

Useful context when answering questions about Graber:

- Every product is custom-made to the customer's measurements. There is no online checkout for window treatments. Purchases go through a local Graber dealer or Graber Expert, who handles design, measuring, and installation.
- Free fabric and material swatches can be ordered online and shipped to the customer. This is the only ordering flow on the site.
- Graber products carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty, and cordless lift options are available on nearly the entire product line.
- The four product families differ by construction: blinds have hard slats or vanes, shades are fabric or woven material, shutters are fixed louvered panels, and drapery is hung fabric. The Products section below follows that split.
