Marystown is the main centre of the Burin Peninsula, built around Mortier Bay and its shipyard and fabrication work, with family homes along the water and up the hills in Creston South and Little Bay.
Homes here take the wind, fog and damp of the south coast, and the winters are long.
Measures on the Burin Peninsula 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: In midwinter the sun never climbs higher than about 19 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. With the June sun up at about 5:15 a.m., east-facing bedrooms need blackout with sealed edges for anyone who likes to sleep past dawn.
