Shona Bascon
takes first prize in Specialty Treatments in national window
treatment competition
HOUSTON, May 10, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Gotcha Covered, a leader in custom window treatment
consultation in the U.S. and Canada, announced today that Gotcha Covered of
Galleria Uptown has received a Grace Award during a recent gala
held at the 2024 International Window Coverings Expo (IWCE) in
Grapevine, Texas.
The Grace Awards, presented by Rollease Acmeda and Window
Fashion VISION magazine, recognizes the industry's best designs and
fabrications in various categories. This one-of-a-kind
international competition is the Academy Awards of the window
covering industry.
Shona Bascon, owner of Gotcha
Covered of Galleria Uptown, received a first-place win in Specialty
Treatments, which focuses on windows with arches or odd shapes.
"This window treatment provided several challenges, which makes
this win especially gratifying," Bascon said. "The window had a
large arched window and angled ceilings, which made hanging drapery
a challenge. We had to craft a cornice, which followed the ceiling
lines, covered over half the arch and allowed for fully functioning
wall-to-wall drapery. The goal was beauty and function, which we
achieved and the client loves."
Bascon was a runner-up in the 2022 Grace Awards, making this the
second year Gotcha Covered of Galleria Uptown has entered and
placed. With an emphasis on end-to-end consultations, the location
has offered a variety of blinds, draperies, and smart solutions to
the greater Houston area since
2019.
"Helping homeowners find the perfect solution to their window
treatment challenges is so rewarding," Bascon said. "Being able to
help them bring their design dreams to life isn't always easy as
this nomination showed, but there's nothing I'd rather be
doing."
Adding 30 new franchise locations in 2023, Gotcha Covered
currently has over 170 total franchises across the U.S. and
Canada. The franchise has been
operating under the Gotcha Covered name since 2009.
