FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

About us

Do you make the blinds yourselves, or resell them?

We make them. Custom blinds, shades and drapery are made in our own workshop behind the showroom at 861 Denison St Unit 101, Markham, so pricing is factory-direct and the people who measure, make and install are all ours.

Where do you serve?

Markham, Toronto, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, North York, Scarborough, Mississauga, Brampton, Newmarket and nearby: we measure in your home, make everything in Markham and install it ourselves.

Can I just drop by the showroom?

Yes. Walk in during opening hours, Monday to Saturday 9:00–18:00 (closed Sunday); there is parking right outside. The showroom has samples of nearly every product we make and a motorized blind you can see working.

How long have you been doing this?

Over 10 years in window coverings.

Price and measurement

How much will it cost?

It depends mostly on the fabric, the size and how the blind is operated, so there is no list price. Consultation and the quote are free: tell us roughly how many windows and how big, and we give you a rough price before anyone comes out. The exact quote comes after we measure.

I have no idea what I need. Where do I start?

Tell us roughly how many windows and how big, or send a few photos, and we give you a rough price and suggest options. Then we choose the product, fabric and colour together, at the showroom or from samples the measurer brings, and measure in your home last.

I already measured my windows. Can you quote from my numbers?

Yes, as a rough price. Your own measurements are a reference only; we always measure in your home before an order is made.

How can I pay?

Cash, cheque, e-transfer or credit card (card payments carry a service charge).

Products

How do I choose the right product?

Tell us how you use the room, how much light control and privacy you want, and the style you like, and we will suggest options. You can see samples at our Markham showroom, or ask the measurer to bring samples to your home. Price depends on the fabric, the size and how it is operated rather than on the product type.

Do you offer motorized blinds?

Yes. We offer motorized blinds and shades, and install them across the GTA.

Motorization →
Can I bring my own fabric?

Yes, you can bring your own fabric for us to make up.

Is everything made to measure?

Yes. Each piece is made in our Markham workshop to the sizes we measure in your home, including windows with unusual shapes.

Do you do offices, hotels or daycares?

Yes, such as hotel lobby sheers over 20 feet tall and three-storey motorized roller shades for a daycare.
