Downtown Moncton has transformed since the Avenir Centre opened. New condo and apartment buildings, converted lofts in older brick buildings along Main Street, and a growing number of people choosing to live downtown, near the river and the restaurants.
New downtown buildings tend to have big windows and neighbours across the street at the same height. Converted lofts have tall, often arched or irregular windows that no stock blind will fit.
What we fit most here: solar shades for living areas with big glass, blackout roller shades for bedrooms facing streetlights and neighbours, and custom shapes for loft windows.
Living downtown, Moncton style. Many downtown residents are professionals who moved here from elsewhere in Canada or overseas, often into their first condo. That usually means a whole unit done at once, with a modern look and good blackout, on a clear budget. Corner units with two walls of glass benefit most from grouping shades on one remote or app, so you can open or close a whole room in one move.
Summer heat in glass units. Downtown units facing south and west can heat up quickly on a July afternoon. Solar shades in a light exterior colour reflect more of that heat back out before it reaches the room.
Frequently asked questions
What blinds work for a loft with tall or arched windows?
Custom roller or solar shades for the rectangular part of the window, with a fixed shaped shade or no covering for the arch. Motorized shades suit very tall loft windows.
Do you install in apartment buildings with access rules?
Yes. We coordinate with building management on elevator and access booking.
Do you do whole-condo packages downtown?
Yes. One measure, one clear quote and one install for every window in the unit, usually about two weeks after the measure.
