A real-wood finish.

Alta Wood Blinds bring warmth to your windows with painted or stained slats. Choose a tone that complements your flooring and trim for a cohesive look.

Tilt, lift or both.

BandLift combines cordless lifting with wand tilt for simple control. Or choose a tilt-only style if you rarely raise the blind.

We help you choose the best movement for your space.

Finish the top.

Valances or a wood cornice provide a polished look. Consider your window trim and any drapery when choosing your profile for a seamless, finished frame.

  1. 01

    Bring the room's wood finishes

    Share photos of your window and nearby furniture. Alta stains complement existing wood tones, while painted finishes create a clean, quiet backdrop.

    We can help you compare these options in your room's natural light.

  2. 02

    Demonstrate the everyday movement

    Tell us how you use the window. BandLift makes opening and closing easy, while wand tilt manages light.

    Choose the operation that makes daily use feel effortless for you.

  3. 03

    Finish the look at wide windows

    A valance or cornice gives your blinds a finished top edge. For wide windows, multiple blinds under one headrail can create a unified look while keeping the individual blinds separate.

A closer look

Paints, stains and the room around them.

A wood finish appears differently across repeated slats. Compare samples against your trim to decide if the window should blend into the room or add a gentle contrast.

Golden Oak and Mahogany

These warm Alta Smooth Finish options bring timber tones to your room. Since natural grain varies, view physical samples to see how the wood relates to your existing decor.

Dark Mocha and painted whites

Dark Mocha adds bold contrast, while crisp whites blend seamlessly with your trim. Tilt the slats to soften the light or close them for total privacy.

A closer look

Controls and the finished top.

Select the right operation for your daily routine. We ensure your choice matches the window size and your needs for a blind that is both functional and beautifully finished.

BandLift and Lift & Lock

Alta's BandLift features a simple button for cordless lifting. It stays where you place it, keeping your window tidy and free of dangling cords.

Tilt only and routeless slats

Dark Mocha offers bold character, while painted whites feel light and crisp. View these finishes in your home to see how they look when tilted open or fully closed.

Modern, Decorative and cornice

Choose a standard, modern or wood cornice valance to frame your window. A cornice offers a substantial, tailored look that anchors the space and hides the headrail completely.

A closer look

Leave room for the slats to turn.

A blind needs space to tilt and operate smoothly. We check your frame and trim during our visit to ensure everything functions for your windows.

Recess depth and the top finish

Consider how the headrail and valance fit your recess. Whether inside or outside the frame, we ensure your chosen blind mounts securely and looks intentional.

Raised stack and window access

When raised, slats form a stack. We discuss where this stack will sit to ensure it does not block your view or interfere with your window opening.

Custom Edmonton Drapery

Our Edmonton workroom creates custom drapery and sewn Romans tailored for your space. We pair these soft textiles with hardware selected to complement your unique windows.

Fabric House Selections

Choose from premium collections by Alendel, Maxwell Fabrics, Maharam, JF Fabrics, Ennis, Unique Fine Fabrics, and Medline. Each textile offers distinct textures and patterns designed to enhance your home's natural light and style.

Sewn Roman Shades

Our locally sewn Roman shades provide a clean, tailored profile that layers beautifully over glass. They offer a refined alternative to standard blinds, providing warmth and depth to any Edmonton room.

Soft Layering

Pair your wood blinds with custom drapery to add softness and improve light control. We ensure the track and fabric account for slat rotation and the projecting valance for functionality.

Tailored Top Treatments

Finish your window treatment with a professional top profile. We compare options to ensure the projection and returns harmonize with your existing trim and room architecture.

Decorative and Modern Valance

Choose between the Standard Decorative Valance or a Modern Valance to suit your room profile. Each offers a different top finish to conceal headrail hardware, creating a cohesive and polished look.

Wood Cornice

For a touch of elegance, a wood cornice adds a beautiful finish. We help you review the fit against your trim to ensure it looks balanced and purposeful on your window.

Hardware Harmony

Check finished projections and returns carefully during measuring. Whether selecting a Modern Valance or a custom cornice, the top treatment should integrate seamlessly with your window frame and adjacent wall surfaces.

Refined Wood Selection

Alta wood blinds offer natural material character in 2-inch Smooth Finish slats. We help you match paints and stains to your Edmonton home's specific lighting conditions.

Stains and Paints

Golden Oak and Mahogany introduce rich, warm wood tones that complement timber furniture. Nuevo White and Pure White paints offer a clean, bright aesthetic that relates closely to your interior trim.

Material Assessment

Assess the conditions at each window before choosing real wood. For humid areas like kitchens or laundry rooms, we often compare Alta Faux Wood Blinds, which use engineered polymer for moisture resistance.

Control and Clarity

BandLift cordless systems and Tilt only arrangements provide distinct operation. We demonstrate each movement so you can choose a control that is practical for your window height and everyday access needs.

Frequently asked

Which Alta wood-blind slat size can I compare?

We offer 2-inch Smooth Finish slats. Visit us to compare our painted and stained options against your home finishes and find the perfect match.

What is the difference between BandLift and Tilt only?

BandLift allows you to lift the blind and tilt the slats. Tilt only is for light control without lifting. We can help you choose the best fit for your room.

Can two Alta wood blinds share one headrail?

Yes, a two-on-one headrail lets you operate two blinds under one smooth valance. It is a great way to manage wide windows while keeping a clean aesthetic.

Does Alta's routeless option provide blackout?

Routeless slats reduce light gaps at the holes. While they aren't a full blackout seal, they are excellent for creating a softer, more private atmosphere in your home.

Should I use wood blinds beside a shower?

For humid rooms like bathrooms, we recommend comparing real wood with Alta Faux Wood Blinds. They offer the same classic look with better resistance to moisture.

How do I request Alta Wood Blinds in Calgary?

Send us photos of your windows and your location. We can discuss your needs remotely and arrange the next steps for your installation in Calgary.

How do I clean my wood blinds?

Dust slats regularly with a soft cloth or a vacuum attachment. Avoid harsh cleaners or submerging them in water, which can damage the finish and wood structure.

Do you offer motorized wood blinds?

Yes, motorization is available for many Alta wood blinds. We can help you integrate simple, quiet controls that let you adjust light and privacy with a remote or phone.

How To Prepare

Virtual | In-store
