A flat shade needs careful thought

While a roller is simple in design, the hardware and fabric choice are key. We ensure everything fits so your shade hangs beautifully every time.

    Watch how the light moves

    Take a look at your windows during the bright day and after dark. Seeing how light affects your privacy helps us pick the best fabric for your specific goals.

    Choosing your placement

    Choose between an inside mount for a clean frame edge or an outside mount for better light control. We check your handle clearance and tube placement to ensure a smooth, balanced result.

    Measuring for a smooth fit

    We confirm your mounting, size, and controls early. Whether you choose manual or motorized, we make sure your support is ready so everything moves gracefully and clears your hardware.

Your fabric, your choice

We focus on what you need for light and comfort first. Whether you want a screen or a solid block, your choice makes the room.

A polished cassette finish

A cassette covers the roll, giving your window a finished look. An open roll is great for tighter spaces.

We ensure your choice works with your frame and handles.

Finding the perfect spot

Roller shades are a modern, tidy choice for any home. They offer a clean line that doesn't distract from your decor, ensuring your windows always look their best.

Clean, modern lines

Tailored Shade Selections

Choose the perfect roller shade for your space. We offer solar screens for glare, blackout textiles for sleep, and versatile dual-layer systems to manage light and privacy exactly how you need.

Solar Openness: 1%, 3% or 5%

Openness refers to the open area in a solar screen weave. A lower percentage filters more glare, while a higher 5% option is more open.

Fabric colour and weave type influence light entry. No label guarantees total night-time privacy or fixed heat reduction.

Drapery and Roman Shades

Looking for a softer finish? Our Edmonton workroom makes custom drapery and sewn Roman shades, bringing texture and gentle folds to rooms where you want both comfort and light control.

Cassette and Hardware Choices

A cassette gives your window a finished look, protecting the fabric roll. Alternatively, choose an open roll if space is tight.

We evaluate your window depth and handle position to ensure the chosen mechanism provides smooth operation and necessary clearance.

Frequently asked

Is there a difference between roller shades and blinds?

They are the same thing. We focus on the features that matter—like the fabric and the operating system—so you get exactly what you need.

What does 3% openness mean?

It describes how much light filters through. We can help you compare samples to see what works best for your view and glare control.

Will I have privacy at night?

Often not with solar screens. We can suggest an added layer or blackout fabric if night-time privacy is a priority.

Does blackout mean complete darkness?

The fabric blocks light, but there may be small gaps. We plan your installation to get the darkness you need for your bedroom.

What is a reverse roll?

It’s just a way for the fabric to come off the front of the tube. It can help clear handles and make your shade look even better.

Are they available with motors?

Yes, we offer smooth motorized options. We’ll help you choose the right power and control so they are simple to use.

Is there a width limit?

It depends on the fabric and system. We check your windows first to ensure every shade performs reliably over time.

How long is the wait?

It varies by order. We’ll give you a clear timeline when you order so you know exactly when to expect your new shades.

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.
