Bali and Levolor are the two most-asked-about mid-tier blind brands in North America, and the confusion is understandable — they're both owned by Springs Window Fashions . They share factories, share technology, and often share components. So why do both exist? Different distribution, slightly different product focus, and different pricing strategies.
Blinds Concept installs and services both. Here's the honest, unbiased breakdown.
Bali is Springs' custom-focused brand, sold heavily through Costco, direct online, and independent dealers. Their strength is fabric selection and colour depth — Bali typically offers 20–30% more colours per product line than Levolor. Best-known for their cellular shades and their premium wood blinds.
Levolor is Springs' retail-forward brand, dominant at Lowe's and Home Depot with in-store stocked sizes. Their strength is availability and speed — if you need blinds this weekend, Levolor has ready-made options Bali doesn't stock. Also known for the Levolor Metals aluminum blinds line.
If you're weighing Bali or Levolor against Hunter Douglas, Graber, or Norman , understand that Bali and Levolor sit one tier below on engineering, motorization sophistication, and specialty products. That's not a criticism — it's the trade-off for their lower price point. For a $400/window budget, Bali and Levolor are excellent. For a $1,000+/window budget on a forever home, Hunter Douglas is a meaningful step up.
We install and warranty both Bali and Levolor, plus Hunter Douglas, Graber, and Norman. When you book a free consultation, we bring samples of every brand and walk you through the actual trade-offs for your rooms, budget, and priorities — not brand loyalty, not sales quotas. If Bali cellular shades are the right answer for your bedrooms and Hunter Douglas Silhouettes are right for your living room, that's what we'll recommend.
Both are Springs Window Fashions brands with similar manufacturing quality. Bali generally offers a wider fabric and colour range, while Levolor is easier to find at big-box retailers like Lowe's and Home Depot. For custom orders, Bali usually has more options; for stocked ready-made sizes, Levolor is more convenient.
Yes — both are owned by Springs Window Fashions. They share manufacturing facilities and many core components, but each brand has its own product lines, warranties, and retail distribution.
Bali offers a limited lifetime warranty on most custom products. Levolor's warranty is also limited lifetime for most custom lines, but shorter (typically 1–5 years) on ready-made stock products.
Hunter Douglas is a step up in engineering, motorization (smart-home hub), and specialty products (honeycomb cellular, Silhouette, Pirouette). Bali and Levolor are excellent mid-tier value brands, but they don't match Hunter Douglas on premium features or product breadth.
