Spryfield has a character all its own: a close community off Herring Cove Road, with Long Lake Provincial Park and the McIntosh Run on its doorstep. Homes range from post-war bungalows and split-levels to new subdivisions and townhouses, and the area keeps growing as people discover how close it is to downtown.
Being a little higher and more exposed than the peninsula, Spryfield homes feel the wind. Many of the houses we measure here have original or early replacement windows, and the main request is simple: make the house warmer and finish the windows properly, without overspending.
What we fit most here: double-cell cellular shades on windows that face the prevailing wind, blackout cellular in bedrooms, and moisture-resistant faux wood blinds for kitchens, bathrooms and basements.
Frequently asked questions
Do you serve Spryfield and Herring Cove?
Yes. We measure and install throughout Spryfield, Herring Cove, Purcell's Cove and the surrounding area, with the same two-week typical turnaround as the rest of Halifax.
What are the warmest blinds for a windy, exposed house?
Double-cell cellular shades with side channels. The extra layer of trapped air and sealed edges reduce heat loss and stop cold air from spilling into the room around the window.
