Shades Unlimited, founded in 1982, is a leading retailer of custom window treatments based in Pennsylvania with a focus on providing high-quality shading solutions for both residential and commercial spaces. The company offers a wide range of products including blinds, shades, draperies, shutters, and fabric awnings, catering to the diverse needs of their clients across the mid-Atlantic and Northeastern U.S., with an expansion into northwestern Montana in 2010. Shades Unlimited traces its origins to a simple project undertaken by founders Bob and Elaine Deluca, who recognized a demand for creative window treatment designs coupled with technical expertise. Their journey began when Bob’s mother sought woven-wood porch shades for her summer home. Seeing this as an unfulfilled market need, they established Shades Unlimited, emphasizing quality, service, and value from the outset.
Over the years, the company has evolved alongside the window treatment industry, expanding from initial residential projects to include a significant number of commercial clients by the mid-1980s. This growth has allowed them to diversify their product offerings and secure partnerships with key fabricators. Today, Shades Unlimited remains a multi-generational family business, with the next generation of the Deluca family actively involved in shaping its future. Their commitment to quality and client-focused service continues to drive their operations. Shades Unlimited prides itself on its innovative solutions for light control, privacy, energy efficiency, and interior design, ensuring that every product is a lasting investment for their customers. Whether undertaking a straightforward installation or a complex project—such as motorized window treatment synchronization—the company’s dedication to craftsmanship and detail remains steadfast, offering clients beautiful, functional, and efficient window solutions.
