Sherwood joined Charlottetown in 1995 and is one of its largest residential areas, with mid-century bungalows and family homes, newer subdivisions and plenty of apartments near the airport and the shopping along University Avenue.
Families here want warmth, darkness for sleep and products that stand up to everyday life.
What we fit most here: cordless cellular shades, blackout in bedrooms and faux wood blinds in kitchens and bathrooms.
Lots of first homes. Sherwood has many homes that change hands to first-time buyers and newcomers to the Island. The request is usually every window done at once, blackout bedrooms, child-safe products and one clear price.
Patio doors and picture windows. Many Sherwood bungalows have a big front picture window and a sliding patio door. A single wide cellular shade suits most picture windows; vertical cellular or vertical blinds suit the door.
Frequently asked questions
What blinds go best with a mini-split heat pump?
Cellular shades. They reduce heat loss through windows, which helps a mini-split keep rooms comfortable on cold, windy Island nights.
Do you serve Sherwood?
Yes. Measures and quotes are free.
What is the best blind for a big front window?
A single wide cellular or roller shade, up to about 3 m wide. Wider windows look tidier with two shades split at the frame.
