Lower Sackville took shape in the 1960s and 1970s along Sackville Drive and Cobequid Road, and it has the housing to show for it: bungalows, split-levels and side-splits, with apartment buildings and townhouses mixed in close to the shopping. Many homes are now on their second or third generation of owners, and renovations are everywhere.
Windows in these homes are typically well proportioned and fairly standard in size, which keeps custom pricing friendly. The big picture window at the front and the sliding door to the back deck are the two we are asked about most.
What we fit most here: cordless cellular shades throughout, a wide cellular or roller shade on the front picture window, vertical blinds or vertical cellular on the patio door, and faux wood in kitchens and bathrooms.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best blind for a large front picture window?
A single wide cellular or roller shade usually works best, up to about 3 m. Wider windows look tidier with two shades split at the window's frame. Top-down bottom-up cellular is a good choice if the window faces the street.
How much would blinds for a Lower Sackville bungalow cost?
A typical bungalow with 8 to 12 windows plus a patio door often falls between about $2,500 and $6,000 installed, depending on products. Your free measure gives you an exact figure.
