Ashby is solid, residential Sydney: streets of mid-century family homes, bungalows and storey-and-a-half houses, close to schools, parks and the hospital. Many families have been here for decades; others are moving in and renovating.
The work here is usually a whole-house refresh. Old blinds out, warmer and safer shades in, with a consistent look from room to room and a sensible budget.
What we fit most here: cordless cellular shades throughout, blackout in bedrooms, and moisture-resistant faux wood blinds in kitchens, bathrooms and basements.
Near the hospital. With the Cape Breton Regional Hospital close by, many Ashby residents work shifts. Blackout roller or cellular shades with side channels keep bedrooms dark for daytime sleep.
Older windows, cold nights. Many Ashby homes still have older windows. Closing cellular shades at dusk keeps rooms warmer through the long Cape Breton evenings, when the sun sets at about 4:17 p.m. in December.

Yes. We take away your old blinds at no extra charge when we install your new ones.
What are the best blinds for daytime sleep?
Blackout roller or blackout cellular shades with side channels, which block light through the fabric and around the edges.
