The Value of a Pre-measure

Design styles may change but hotels will always require window coverings for both aesthetics and privacy.  More than just their function, they have become a focal point with the changes to digital printing and high-tech accessories.  To get the perfect look, means getting a perfect fit. And this requires a commercial premeasure and installation. Many owners view these items as additional costs rather than the benefit to both value and ease of installation while reducing the stress with this part of a project.

No two windows are generally the same size so one size will not fit them all.  Working with a crew who have been trained to work with hundreds of windows is vastly different than trying to save some money by hiring a residential installation company or installing them yourself. Not only can they quickly and efficiently complete the job, but they can also spot potential problems.  Professional installers may be alerted to potential, on site problems to correct, leading to a major cost savings.

Renting rooms is about revenue. Whether it is opening the hotel or completing a renovation on time, it means more income.  Without window coverings, rooms cannot be rented, resulting in a major loss of revenue.  With a commercial pre-measure and install, there will not be any lost time waiting on blinds or drapery to be remade after incorrect measurements; nor additional trip changes to come back to the property to re-install them. Using technology such as laser measuring which downloads into the quote form, means quicker turn around and less chance of errors.  This can add up into the thousands of dollars of savings.

Investing in a pre-measure with a commercial installation will pay dividends long after the crews are gone.  Knowing that the work was completed by a team who have the experience and knowledge with hotels provides a peace of mind for both owners and staff.
