Start with your room needs

Different windows require different light and privacy. Think about your daily routine and how you want each room to feel, then we help you select the Alta covering that fits best.

See the texture and light

Consider how a fabric changes the atmosphere when sun hits it. We help you choose materials that create the mood you want, ensuring the finished look and light control suit your home perfectly.

Practical fit and operation

A beautiful covering must also be easy to use. We ensure your choice clears window handles and frames, confirming all measurements so your new shades sit exactly right in your specific window space.

Tailored Window Solutions

We offer diverse options for your home, including versatile vertical blinds for wide doors and our custom drapery or Roman shades crafted in our Edmonton workroom.

Vertical Blinds

These move across wide openings with ease. Consider stack position and door clearance for your sliding doors, or explore vertically oriented honeycomb shades as a fabric-based alternative.

Custom Drapery

Designed and sewn locally in our Edmonton workroom, our custom drapery allows you to select specific fabrics to complement your interior, providing a beautiful finish for windows.

Roman Shades

We create fabric Roman shades in our own Edmonton workroom, offering a soft, folded appearance that you can compare alongside various roller or natural woven material alternatives.

Frequently asked

Are Alta Honeycomb Shades the same as cellular?

Yes. The term honeycomb refers to the unique cellular construction that helps with energy and light. They are a versatile choice that folds neatly away when you want a clear outdoor view.

Difference between banded and sheer shades?

Banded shades use shifting solid and sheer stripes to adjust privacy. Sheer shadings use a different structure with fabric vanes. Both soften the sun, so choose based on the look you prefer.

Does PowerWand include smart-home control?

PowerWand is a standalone, push-button system for simple, manual-style motorization. If you want app control, scheduling or smart-home integration, we will guide you toward our other compatible motorization systems instead.

Can I order custom Roman shades?

We make fabric Roman shades right here in our Edmonton workroom. These can be customized to your exact fabric choice, offering a different, soft look compared to the manufactured Alta product line.

Will a blackout shade make the room dark?

Blackout fabric blocks light through the material, but small amounts may enter at the edges of the window frame. We can help you look at mounting options to minimize light gaps.

How do Calgary customers get started?

Calgary customers can email us room photos and approximate sizes to begin. We hold remote consultations to guide your selection and will confirm all project arrangements before any work is scheduled.

How To Prepare

Virtual | In-store

To make the most of your consultation, it helps to have a general sense of your window or door width, ceiling height and how you would like the covering to operate. Photos of the space are helpful but not required. If you are early in the process, that is fine. We will guide you through it.
