EcoSmart Cellular Shades
Our EcoSmart Insulating Cellular Shades reduce energy costs by up to 40% through superior thermal efficiency. These custom-made window treatments feature dual-layer fabric that traps air, maintaining indoor temperatures year-round. Ideal for both residential and commercial spaces, they qualify for Efficiency Vermont rebates while preserving unobstructed views when raised.
Motorized Window Treatments
Motorization transforms window coverings into voice-controlled or app-operated systems. We install hardwired and remote-controlled solutions for cellular shades, draperies, and roman shades. This technology enhances accessibility for hard-to-reach windows and integrates seamlessly with smart home systems like Alexa, improving convenience and energy management.
Custom Draperies
Handcrafted draperies and top treatments add elegance to any space. Our designers select premium fabrics to create bespoke window solutions, from dramatic floor-length curtains to tailored valances. Each piece is sewn in-house, ensuring perfect color coordination and fabric selection that complements existing interior decor schemes.
Exterior Shades
Exterior roller shades protect patios, decks, and commercial spaces from glare and heat. Our durable, weather-resistant systems feature motorized options and wind-stabilized designs. Available in solar screen fabrics that block 97% of heat while maintaining visibility, these custom solutions enhance outdoor comfort without compromising aesthetics.
Shutter Installation
Plantation and custom-shaped shutters provide timeless style with practical benefits. Crafted from wood or composite materials, these treatments offer precise light control and UV protection. Our designers help clients select paint/stain finishes that match interior decor while ensuring durability in various humidity conditions for lasting performance.

We have been customers of the wonderful team at Gordon's for many years. The designers are always quick and helpful with suggestions how best to achieve the shading goals in our various rooms. I just met Barb Bode today for a new project in our home and as always with Gordon's team, she was helpful and a dream to work with. We love this local, woman-led Vermont based company.

This past Saturday I met with Barb Bode from Gordons Window Treatments. From the very beginning I have chosen Gordons to install window treatments in my home. Their customer service, response time, professionalism, and product have always been outstanding. I have never been disappointed with their service-if I needed a shade adjusted they came over right away and took care of the fix immediately. I would highly recommend Gordons to measure, consult, and install any window treatment a home owner can imagine-the options are limitless. Sarita Austin Colchester

We had used Gordon's in the past so we went into this knowing we get great service and products. Our entire house was outfitted with their products and service. There are few companies these days you can trust or that do quality work surely Gordon's is on top of those list. They not only do great work but stand by it last time we used their service was about 20 years ago and this time here in 2021 & 2022 we receive the same caring and professional help and support. Thank You Gordon's & If we need service in the future we will be back. Happy Customer again. Kelly & Gary.

Every time I visit the shop I walk away thinking wow that is a group of cheerful knowledgeable professionals. Not exactly the feeling I get about the box stores. I made an appointment for a consult and Barbara Bode showed up right on time.another Gordon professional. She had a ready smile, knew her product front to back, and had a designers eye that made working with her a treat instead of chore.
I had a hard time deciding and moved the goal posts three times trying to come up with a final decision. Barbara was infinitely patient, flexible and good humored with me throughout. Bottom line: these folks are the real deal. I don't see how you could do better. 5 stars!
