Mount Pearl is a city of its own beside St. John's, with family neighbourhoods built mostly from the 1970s onward, plenty of parks and trails, and a strong local identity. It sits a little higher than downtown St. John's and catches the wind on its way across the Avalon.
Family homes here want warmth, blackout and practical, safe products.
Your blinds are measured in your home, made in our Halifax workshop and installed by our own crew on regular scheduled trips to the Avalon.

What it means for your windows: A 19-degree winter sun shines straight across a room rather than down onto the floor, so south- and west-facing windows in Mount Pearl get glare deep into the house from November to February. Summer sunrise at about 5:04 a.m. means east-facing bedrooms are bright early, so blackout makes a real difference for sleep.
