Perhaps "Cruelty to Windows" continues
Remember last month's story about the downtown Toronto hotel that had the wrong product installed resulting in damaged window treatments, well, the dealer who worked on that project contacted me.  He is now one of our Sun Glow dealers.  He let me know that he had expressed to the client that only drapery would work well in that particular installation, I would definitely agree with him, and Sun Glow does not even offer drapery.  You really need to provide the best product for the project and maybe sometimes it makes sense to walk away from an order if you know it will be problems later.

I am sure many of you  face this problem regularly, where you advise the client the best solution yet they insist on a less appropriate application, only to have complaints, repairs, and replacement afterward.  This is a no win situation, even where the client does pay extra to have the proper product installed, the damage is done and does not reflect well on any of us.
