Moncton has been one of the fastest-growing cities in Atlantic Canada for years, and you can see it in the windows. New subdivisions in the north end and around Magnetic Hill, condo and apartment buildings rising downtown along Main Street and the Petitcodiac, and older homes in the established west and east ends being renovated by a new generation.
Moncton sits inland on the river, so winters are colder and more continental than on the Nova Scotia coast, with clear, frosty nights, and summers can get properly hot. Being a bilingual city, it is also a place where people want to deal with a company that feels like it belongs to the region, not to a head office in Toronto.
We are an Atlantic Canadian maker. Your blinds are measured in your home, made in our Halifax workshop, about three hours down the road, and installed in Moncton by our team. Most orders are ready about two weeks after the measure.
What Moncton homes need
Cold-night insulation. Cellular shades for clear, cold inland nights, double-cell in the coldest rooms.
A modern finish for new builds. Zebra blinds and roller shades for open-plan homes in the newer parts of the city.
Easy control in bigger homes. Motorized shades for tall entry windows and great rooms.
Blackout for summer. On June 21 the sun sets at about 9:13 p.m. in Moncton. Blackout roller shades keep bedrooms dark.

What it means for your windows: In midwinter the sun never climbs higher than about 21 degrees here, so it reaches far into south-facing rooms. That is welcome warmth on a cold afternoon and a real glare problem on a TV or a laptop. In June it is still light at 9:13 p.m., which is why we recommend true blackout, not room darkening, for kids' rooms.

Frequently asked questions
Do you install custom blinds in Moncton?
Yes. Atlantic Shades measures and installs custom blinds and shades throughout Moncton, including downtown, Lewisville, Magnetic Hill and Riverview Heights, as well as Dieppe and Riverview. Blinds are made in our Halifax workshop and most orders are installed about two weeks after the measure.
Is Atlantic Shades a local company in Moncton?
Atlantic Shades is an independent Atlantic Canadian company. Our workshop is in Halifax, and we measure and install in Moncton and across New Brunswick. We are not part of a national franchise.
What are the best blinds for a Moncton winter?
Cellular shades. Moncton's clear, cold inland nights pull heat out through windows, and cellular shades insulate better than any other common window covering. Double-cell with side channels is best for the coldest rooms.
How do I choose a blinds company in Moncton?
Choose a company that measures for you and guarantees the fit, gives an itemized written quote, installs with its own team and offers local warranty service. Ask where the blinds are made and how long they take, and read recent reviews from Moncton customers.
