Made for Atlantic light.

Yes. Atlantic Shades makes custom plantation shutters in hardwood and moisture-proof composite, measured to the millimetre and fitted by its own crews across Atlantic Canada. Shutters suit heritage homes, bay windows and bathrooms, and are the longest-lasting window covering you can buy. See shutters.

Atlantic Shades designs and manufactures custom shutters, blinds and shades in its Halifax, Nova Scotia workshop. The company measures, builds and installs plantation shutters and roller, solar, cellular, zebra, Roman, wood, faux wood, vertical and motorized window coverings for homes and businesses across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.

No. Atlantic Shades is an independent Atlantic Canadian company. We are not part of a national franchise network, so there are no franchise fees built into your price, and the people who measure, make and install your blinds work for us, here.

Most custom blinds and shades cost between about $250 and $700 per window, installed, depending on size, fabric and how they open and close. Motorization typically adds a few hundred dollars per window. Our pricing guide breaks it down by product, and your free measure gives you an exact, written quote.

Most orders are ready to install about two weeks after your measure, because we make them in Halifax rather than ordering from overseas. Large projects and specialty fabrics can take longer, and we will tell you the date when you approve the quote.

Cellular (honeycomb) shades are the most insulating option. The US Department of Energy found cellular shades can cut heating energy use by up to 20% compared with bare windows. For drafty older homes we often pair them with side channels or an outside mount that covers more of the frame.

Choose moisture-resistant materials and corrosion-resistant hardware. Faux wood, aluminum, and roller, solar or cellular shades made with polyester fabrics handle salt air and humidity well. Real wood and natural fibres are lovely but better suited to rooms away from moisture. We specify hardware with coastal homes in mind.

Yes. Every order starts with a free, no-obligation in-home measure by our team. We bring samples, measure every window, and give you a written quote. If we measured it and it does not fit, we remake it free.

Yes. Our motorized blinds and shades work with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit, and can be run from a phone app, a remote, a wall switch or a schedule. Motors are rechargeable or hardwired, so you do not need an electrician for most installs.

We serve all four Atlantic provinces: Halifax Regional Municipality and communities across Nova Scotia, Moncton, Dieppe, Fredericton, Saint John and towns across New Brunswick, Charlottetown, Summerside and communities across PEI, and St. John's, Corner Brook, Labrador City and towns across Newfoundland and Labrador.
