Custom Window Coverings in Newmarket & Aurora

Yes — both towns, and the communities around them. We're based in the GTA with showrooms in Scarborough and Mississauga, but the consultation happens at your house, not ours. You don't drive anywhere. If you're just outside Newmarket or Aurora and wondering whether you're in range, call and ask; the answer is usually yes.

For most homes here — century properties near Main Street with non-standard sash openings, and newer builds with oversized or two-storey glass — yes. Off-the-shelf blinds rarely fit precisely, and the gaps, light leaks and generic hardware show. Custom treatments are made to the exact millimetre of your opening, use better mechanisms, and typically outlast big-box products by many years. Because we manufacture factory-direct, the price difference is usually smaller than people expect.

Blinds have rigid slats (wood, faux wood, or aluminium) that tilt to control light. Shades are a single piece of fabric that raises or rolls — roller, zebra, Roman, and cellular are all shades. Drapes and curtains are fabric panels hung from a rod; drapes tend to use heavier, lined fabric, while curtains are lighter. Most rooms benefit from layering — a shade for everyday light control and a drapery panel for softness and warmth.

We measure everything. Precise measurement is the step that decides whether the finished job looks right — even small errors cause gaps, misaligned fabric, or mechanisms that don't clear the frame. Our consultants use a laser measure on every window and take full responsibility for the fit. Irregular and non-standard openings are routine for us, not an exception.

Yes — it's one of the more common jobs in the newer parts of both towns. Angled gable walls need panels shaped to the slope rather than cut square, and two-storey glass needs motorization to be genuinely usable. We measure the exact angle on site and build to it. The bedroom in our gallery above is an Aurora gable wall with blackout panels fitted to the pitch.

We enjoy these. For period homes we usually suggest solid-louvre California shutters or tailored drapery that complements the original trim, custom-built for the openings you actually have — tall sash windows, arched transoms, bay fronts. We'll say honestly when a treatment would fight the architecture rather than sell it to you anyway.

Layering. A blackout panel on its own can leave light spilling around the edges; a sheer on its own is lovely by day and useless at night. Pairing the two on one track gives you soft filtered light in the morning and a genuinely dark room when you close it. For a shade-only solution, blackout cellular shades with side channels come closest to a full seal.

We can usually arrange an in-home visit within a few days. From that first consultation, a typical custom order is manufactured and installed within two to three weeks, with the install itself usually taking a single day even for a whole house. Specialty shapes and motorized runs that need wiring can add time — we'll tell you at the consultation, not after you've ordered.

Yes. We carry a full range of cordless and motorized options with no dangling cords at all — the safest choice for homes with young children or pets. Cordless roller shades and motorized zebra blinds are the most popular picks. Faux-wood blinds hold up well in homes with pets, since they wipe clean and don't warp.

Yes. We're an authorised Somfy dealer and a certified Control4 integration partner. Your blinds and drapery can be scheduled, grouped, and controlled by remote, app, or your existing smart-home hub — and we handle everything from measurement to motor calibration to pairing. It's especially worth it for upper transoms and stairwell glass you can't otherwise reach.
