Nashwaaksis is the heart of Fredericton's north side, a former village that grew into a large residential area of mid-century and newer family homes, with schools, shopping and the river close by.
Most homes here were built from the 1950s to the 1980s, and many are on their second or third owners. Heat pumps, renovations and window covering updates go together.
What we fit most here: cordless cellular shades for warmth, blackout in bedrooms and faux wood blinds in kitchens and bathrooms.
Family homes with patio doors. Many Nashwaaksis homes have a sliding door off the kitchen to the backyard. Vertical blinds or vertical cellular shades slide out of the way of the door and, in the case of vertical cellular, add real insulation.
Cold winter nights. As across Fredericton, clear winter nights get very cold. Double-cell cellular on north-facing bedrooms makes a real difference.
Frequently asked questions
Do you serve Fredericton's north side?
Yes, including Nashwaaksis, Devon, Marysville and the newer neighbourhoods on the north side.
What blinds are best after a heat pump install?
Cellular shades. They reduce heat loss through windows, which helps a heat pump keep up on the coldest nights.
Are vertical cellular shades warmer than vertical blinds?
Yes. Vertical cellular shades are made of insulating honeycomb fabric, so they trap air against the glass. Standard vertical blinds insulate very little.
