Custom Blinds for Orillia Homes & Lakefront Properties

Solar shades are our top recommendation for Orillia lakefront homes. They cut glare and block up to 99% of UV rays while keeping your water view completely intact. A 3–5% openness factor is ideal — you can see out clearly while the outside world can't easily see in. For bedrooms, blackout roller shades are a must. And anywhere exposed to lake humidity, we recommend faux wood or moisture-resistant materials over real wood or fabric.

We guarantee a written quote within 72 hours of your free in-home consultation. We visit, measure every window, and have everything back to you fast — no chasing. For most Orillia-area homes we can schedule your in-home visit within a few days of your initial enquiry.

Absolutely. We regularly work with Orillia homeowners who also have cottages in the area — on Couchiching, Simcoe, or up toward Muskoka. We can schedule both properties in the same visit window and recommend motorized blinds for whichever property you're away from most, so you can manage both from your phone without being on-site.

Real wood blinds are the classic choice for downtown Orillia's Victorian and Edwardian-era homes — the warm tones complement period trim, hardwood floors, and character architecture beautifully. For rooms with more humidity exposure (bathrooms, kitchens, basement windows), faux wood gives you the same look with much better resistance to warping and moisture. We'll walk you through both options during your free in-home consultation.

Yes — especially if you travel frequently, own a nearby cottage, or have a home with large or hard-to-reach windows. Motorized blinds connect to your Wi-Fi and can be controlled from anywhere via your phone. You can set daily schedules, adjust them remotely before arriving home, or sync them with Alexa or Google Home. They're also a great option for managing privacy and security when you're away for extended periods.

Cellular (honeycomb) shades are the most effective window covering for reducing heat loss. Their unique pocket construction traps air between the blind and the glass, acting as insulation. Double-cell or triple-cell versions significantly reduce drafts in older Orillia homes, and you can see a noticeable difference on your heating bill from November through March. We'll advise which rooms benefit most during your in-home visit.

We accept cash, cheque, e-transfer, and all major credit cards. A 50% deposit is required when placing your order, with the remainder due on installation day. Full payment terms are clearly outlined in your written quote before any work begins.
