Newfoundland and Labrador asks more of a window covering than anywhere else we serve. On the Avalon, St. John's wind and fog. On the west coast, Corner Brook's snow. In central Newfoundland, cold inland winters. And in Labrador, the most extreme light and cold in the region: 7 and a half hours of daylight in Happy Valley-Goose Bay in December, and a sunset near 10 p.m. in Labrador City in June.
The houses are just as distinctive: the row houses of downtown St. John's, outport homes facing the sea, company-town houses in Grand Falls-Windsor and Labrador West, and new subdivisions in Paradise, Mount Pearl and CBS.
We are Atlantic Canadian, not a mainland franchise. Your blinds are measured in your home, made in our Halifax workshop and installed by our own crew on scheduled trips across the province.
