Cornwall sits just west of Charlottetown where the West River and North River meet, a growing town of family homes, newer subdivisions and rural properties with water views.
Many homes here are newer, built by families who wanted a little more space close to the city. Others sit on rural lots overlooking the rivers and the harbour.
Your blinds are measured in your home, made in our Halifax workshop and installed by our own crew.

What it means for your windows: With the sun topping out at about 20 degrees in December, low light comes in under eaves and porch roofs that shade the same windows in summer. Glare control matters most from November to February. Dawn at about 5:21 a.m. in June is the main reason families here ask us for blackout bedrooms.
