Corner Brook climbs the hills above the Bay of Islands and the Humber Arm, a paper-mill city with Marble Mountain on its doorstep and some of the biggest snowfalls of any city in Atlantic Canada. Homes step up the slopes in neighbourhoods like Curling, Humber Heights, Crestview and the West Side, many with views over the water.
West coast winters are long and snowy. On December 21 the sun rises at about 8:13 a.m. and sets at about 4:26 p.m. In June, it sets close to 9:30 p.m.
Measures on the west coast are scheduled on regular trips. Your blinds are made in our Halifax workshop and installed by our own crew.

What it means for your windows: With the sun topping out at about 18 degrees in December, low light comes in under eaves and porch roofs that shade the same windows in summer. Glare control matters most from November to February. Long June evenings, with sunset at about 9:29 p.m., make blackout bedrooms one of the most requested upgrades here.
