Collections
Six families, hundreds of fabrics and finishes, corded, cordless or motorized. Blinds and shades are cut to your window in our own Toronto factory.
Two shades in one.
Alternating bands of sheer and opaque fabric glide past each other: open for a soft, striped glow, closed for privacy.
Also called banded or day-and-night shades, they give the light control of a blind with the softness of fabric. We specify refined neutrals and generous bands so they read as tailored, finished with a clean cassette.
The quiet minimalist.
A single, perfectly flat panel of fabric that disappears when raised and reads like architecture when lowered.
Our most specified product: it suits almost any interior, it is the most affordable window to motorize, and the fabric library runs from translucent linen to full blackout. Fascia or cassettes hide the roll; side channels give true darkness in bedrooms.
Keep the view. Lose the glare.
Openness-factor screens that cut heat and UV while leaving your view of the garden, the lake or the skyline intact.
Woven with a precise openness (1%, 3%, 5% or 10%) that sets how much you see through and how much sun they stop. Dark colours give the clearest view out; light colours give more privacy and a brighter room.
Drapery's tailored cousin.
Soft fabric shades that fold into neat horizontal pleats. They are the way to bring a textile into a room that has no space for panels.
Sewn in our Toronto workroom from the same fabric library as our drapery, lined or blackout-lined. Flat fold for a crisp look, hobbled for softness, or relaxed for a gently curved hem.
Privacy below. Sky above.
A roller shade that rises from the sill: cover the lower half of the window for privacy and leave the top open for light and the view.
The fabric is anchored at the sill and rises from the bottom, so a street-facing bedroom, a bathroom or a ground-floor office stays private without giving up the daylight. The same fabrics, cassettes and motors as our roller shades.
Built in, not hung.
Solid hardwood plantation shutters, made to measure, framed and hinged to your window like a piece of cabinetry.
Measured to the exact reveal and built in Ontario, with the louver size chosen to suit the window. Painted to match your trim, or stained to show the grain of oak, maple or cherry. Full-height, café, tier-on-tier, bi-fold or bypass. Our shutters are solid wood only. It’s lighter, so wide panels stay straight for years, and it can be repainted or repaired rather than replaced.
