Process & Scope
We act as a full-scope commercial window treatment partner throughout the building process.
- Specification & Design Support
We collaborate with designers, architects, and contractors to align materials, styles, and performance requirements. - Sample Room (When Required)
Sample rooms are strongly recommended for larger projects to validate fabric, construction, and functionality before full production. - Manufacturing
All drapery and treatments are fabricated to commercial standards using proven construction methods. - Installation
Installation is included and coordinated to meet construction schedules and site requirements.
This process helps identify challenges early and prevents issues during production or install.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are commercial window treatments fire-retardant?
Commercial window treatments are manufactured using fire-retardant materials that meet industry safety standards such as NFPA 701.
How long do QA Group’s commercial draperies typically last?
Commercial draperies are generally designed to last a minimum of 7–10 years, depending on fabric selection, sun exposure, and usage levels. Commercial-grade hardware is engineered for long-term durability in high-traffic environments such as hotels and public spaces.
Do you offer blackout drapes for hotels?
Commercial blackout drapes are available for hospitality projects and are commonly constructed with 3-pass blackout lining.
What factors impact commercial drapery lead times on large projects?
Commercial drapery lead times are influenced by project size, fabric selection, custom fabrication requirements, motorization components, and installation logistics. Large hospitality projects may also require phased production to align with construction schedules.
How are commercial window treatments coordinated with construction schedules?
Commercial window treatments are typically coordinated alongside the broader construction timeline through collaboration with architects, designers, general contractors, and project managers. Fabrication schedules are aligned with site readiness, and installation is planned to avoid conflicts with other trades, ensuring on-time completion and minimal disruption.
Do you handle nationwide installs?
Yes, QA Group supports commercial drapery and window treatment installations across the United States.
Can window treatments be phased by floor or wing?
Yes, at QA Group, commercial window treatments are often installed in phases to align with construction sequencing or occupancy schedules.
Phased production and installation help minimize disruption, reduce on-site storage issues, and keep your project aligned with overall build timelines.
Do you work directly with hotel brands or only GCs/designers?
At QA Group, we not only work directly with general contractors and designers, but also with hotel brands. Our team can engage during early design specification or later in the construction phase. We adapt to the communication structure of each project while maintaining a single accountable point of contact.
