Start with the glass

Your windows have different jobs throughout the day. You might need to stop afternoon glare while still keeping your view.

We help you find a shade system that handles both needs.

  1. 01

    Share your light and privacy needs

    Tell us where you need to block the sun and where you want more privacy. A front window needs different care than a bedroom.

    Send us photos so we can recommend the best shades.

  2. 02

    Compare fabrics in your light

    See how samples look in your actual daylight rather than in a photo. We help you test how the fabric manages light so you can be sure of your privacy after the sun sets.

  3. 03

    Plan your fit and operation

    Decide between inside or outside mounts and choose your controls. Whether you prefer cordless or motorized, we measure every inch to ensure your custom shade fits and functions in your home.

There are many ways to manage light. We help you narrow down the options by considering how each shade construction performs on your specific window, ensuring you get the result you want.

What affects your quote

The price of your project depends on your window and the construction you choose. Comparing two quotes requires looking at the actual material and features to be fair.

Size, fabric and operation

Your quote is based on window dimensions, fabric choice and system upgrades like motorization. We include professional installation to ensure it all works right.

Check these details when comparing your options.

Frequently asked

What is the difference between a roller and a zebra shade?

A roller shade is one flat piece of fabric. A zebra shade has two layers that move to filter light in different ways. We can show you both so you can choose your preference.

Which shades are best for winter comfort?

Cellular shades are excellent because their air pockets help reduce heat loss. We guide you to the right cell type so you can stay cozy all winter long in your home.

Which shades give night-time privacy?

Look for opaque fabrics that block the view once your indoor lights are on. We show you samples so you can see exactly how they look after dark, giving you peace of mind.

Can roller shades and Roman shades be blackout?

Room-darkening fabrics and linings can help. The mount, overlap and gaps at the edges also affect the result, so we help you compare the full treatment rather than promising a completely dark room.

Do you make Roman shades locally?

Yes, we make custom Roman shades in our Edmonton workroom. We help you choose the fabric and lining, then build them to fit your windows exactly. You get a beautiful, high-quality local product.

Can I motorize my shades?

Many shades can be motorized for simple, easy control. We explain your power options and check compatibility with your chosen fabric. We ensure the system makes your life a little easier every day.

Which shades work on a patio door?

Vertical and sliding systems are best for doors. We help you compare how they stack so you can keep your path clear and your door easy to use at all times.

How do I start choosing shades?

Book a consultation and bring photos of your windows. We start by identifying your light and privacy goals, then help you find the right style, fabric and fit for your home.

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.
