Blinds Installation

Our expert technician installs custom blinds in a sleek, city-view living room—showcasing Blindstore’s dedication to precision, style, and craftsmanship. We transform spaces with window coverings that perfectly balance beauty, functionality, and quality.

Roman Shades

This sun-drenched contemporary living room is defined by a bank of three large windows, each dressed with identical textured green fabric window coverings. These elegant window treatments are excellent examples of roman shades, specifically rendered in a relaxed style that shows a gentle, inviting curve at the bottom fold when raised. While often referred to generally as blinds or window shades, these specific roman blinds add a soft, organic touch to the bright minimalist decor, filtering the abundant natural light that illuminates the linen sofa, armchairs, and wooden furniture below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@blindstore.ca if you cannot find an answer to your question.

1-) How does the consultation and installation process work?

We schedule a home visit, bring smart samples (motorized, dual-function, top-down/bottom-up), provide a custom quote, and install with care and follow-up.

2-) What warranty and support do you offer?

At BlindStore Ottawa, we stand behind the quality of every product we install:

Lifetime Warranty – Cassettes & Mechanisms: The hardware and mechanisms that keep your blinds running are protected for life. If they ever fail, we’ll repair or replace them at no cost.

Free Future Service: Unlike many other companies, we offer free future service for the life of your blinds. Need adjustments, cleaning advice, or minor repairs down the road? We’ve got you covered—at no extra cost.

Fabric Warranty – 7 Years: Our fabrics come with built-in UV protection to resist fading and wear. While natural aging of fabrics is normal after several years, you can count on their durability and long-lasting strength thanks to our high-quality materials.
Motor Warranty – 5 Years: For our motorized blinds and shades, you’re covered for 5 years, ensuring peace of mind with smooth, reliable operation.

Plus: Our customer-first support means if anything isn’t working as expected, we’ll make it right quickly and professionally.

3-) Why choose BlindStore for my blinds?

At BlindStore, we combine trend-focused products, local craftsmanship, and customer-first service to ensure your windows look and perform their best — today and for years to come.

4-) Are Roman shades suitable for bedrooms and living rooms?

Yes! Roman shades are elegant, versatile, and customizable. With dual-function fabrics and exclusive trend-forward designs, they’re perfect for modern living rooms, cozy bedrooms, or any space where style and function matter.

5-) How do I clean and maintain my blinds?

Fabric Shades: Regular dusting or vacuuming with a soft brush attachment is recommended.
Motorized Blinds: Wipe surfaces gently, avoid water on electronics, and use our free future service for maintenance tips.
Hardware & Mechanisms: Covered by a lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term reliability.

6-) Can Roman shades improve insulation?

Yes. Roman shades with thicker fabrics or linings help regulate temperature, keeping heat out in summer and warmth in winter. Stylish, functional, and energy-efficient.

7-) What makes BlindStore different from other blinds companies in Ottawa?

We focus on innovation, exclusivity, and customer care:

Trend-Focused Selection – We bring products other local companies don’t, following the latest styles and technologies.
Dual-Function & Top-Down/Bottom-Up – Flexible, functional, and exclusive options.
Premium Fabrics – Soft, natural, and luxurious fabrics that feel as good as they look.
Motorized & Smart-Home Options – Control blinds via remote, app, or voice.
Free Lifetime Service – We’re committed to keeping your blinds looking and working their best, long after installation.

BlindStore Ottawa isn’t just another blinds company — we’re your local partner for stylish, innovative, and lasting window solutions.

8-) What are Smart Window Films and why should I get them?

Smart Window Films are an innovative product that can:

Automatically adjust tint for privacy or glare reduction.
Block UV rays to protect furniture and fabrics.
Improve energy efficiency by reducing heat in summer and retaining warmth in winter.
Be combined with our blinds and shades for a complete, modern window solution.

This technology is rarely offered by other Ottawa blinds companies, making BlindStore your go-to for the latest smart window solutions.

9-) Are you affiliated with Blindstore.net or other online-only retailers?

No, we are completely independent. We are Blindstore Ltd. (blindstore.ca), a locally owned and operated business serving the Ottawa and National Capital Region for over 25 years. Unlike online-only retailers that just ship boxes for you to install yourself, we provide a full-service experience. We offer professional in-home measuring, expert installation, and a physical showroom located at 2047 Carp Rd, in Ottawa.

10-) What is included in your warranty, and does it cover fabric fading?

Yes, it does! While many big-box stores only cover fabric for 30 days, we proudly offer a 7-Year Fabric Warranty. Our premium fabrics are engineered with built-in UV protection. This not only prevents your blinds from fading, yellowing, or becoming brittle in the sun, but it also protects your hardwood floors and expensive furniture from UV damage. We also back our products with a Lifetime Warranty on manual mechanisms and a 5-Year Warranty on all motorization.

11-) How does your warranty compare to big-box stores and online retailers?

We offer the most comprehensive, hassle-free window treatment warranty in the industry. Most national chains advertise a "lifetime warranty" but hide in the fine print that fabric is only covered for 30 days, and you are responsible for taking the blinds down and bringing them into the store for repair. At Blindstore Ltd., we provide a true 7-Year Fabric Guarantee and a Peace of Mind In-Home Service policy. We build it, we install it, and we stand by it locally.

12-) Are you the same company as Blindstore.net? What is the difference?

No, we are completely separate companies with very different ways of doing business. We are Blindstore Ltd. (Blindstore.ca), a locally owned and operated, full-service window treatment company based right here in Ottawa, with a physical showroom on 2047 Carp Road, Ottawa. When you choose Blindstore.ca, you never have to worry about the financial risk of measuring your own windows incorrectly or spending your weekend on a ladder. We provide a premium, "done-for-you" experience. Our local team handles the professional in-home measuring, expert installation, and provides ongoing, in-home warranty service. If you want a guaranteed perfect fit and local accountability in the National Capital Region, make sure you are working with Blindstore.ca.

13-) How much do custom blinds and shades cost in Ottawa?

The cost of custom window treatments varies widely based on the size of your windows, the operating system (cordless vs. motorized), and the fabric chosen. Because every window is unique, we do not provide generic online estimates. Instead, we offer a 100% Free In-Home Consultation. We bring the showroom to you, measure exactly, and provide a firm, no-hidden-fees quote on the spot.

14-) How long does it take to get my custom blinds installed?

Because all of our shades are custom-manufactured to your exact window dimensions, the industry standard lead time is generally 10 to 15 days. However, because our installation team is local to the Ottawa region, we control our own schedule. Once your products arrive, we book your installation immediately, avoiding the frustrating third-party contractor delays common with big-box stores.

15-) Do I really need professional measuring, or can I do it myself?

We strongly recommend professional measuring, which is why we include it for free. A difference of just a quarter-inch can mean a blind won't fit inside your window frame or will let in harsh light gaps. When you buy online and measure yourself, you are financially responsible if it doesn't fit. When the Blindstore Ltd. team measures your windows, we guarantee a perfect fit—taking 100% of the financial risk off your shoulders.

16-) Will the sun fade my custom blinds or my furniture?

Not with our products. We specialize in premium fabrics engineered with advanced UV protection. While cheaper online blinds can yellow, turn brittle, or fade within a couple of years, our UV-blocking shades are guaranteed for 7 years. By blocking up to 99% of harmful rays, our window coverings also act as a shield, protecting your expensive hardwood floors, rugs, and furniture from sun damage.

17-) What are the best window treatments for Ottawa winters?

Energy efficiency is a major factor in our climate. Cellular shades (also known as honeycomb or cellular shades) are widely considered the most energy-efficient window treatment available. Their unique pocketed design traps air against the glass, creating a layer of insulation that keeps your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, actively helping to lower your energy bills.

18-) Are your blinds and shades safe for children and pets?

Yes. Child and pet safety is a top priority. We offer a massive selection of modern, 100% cordless window coverings. From cordless push-up systems to fully motorized smart shades, we eliminate the hazard of dangling cords entirely, ensuring your home is safe and compliant with the latest Canadian safety standards.

19-) Can I control my blinds with my smartphone or Alexa/Google Home?

Absolutely. We offer state-of-the-art motorized window treatments that integrate seamlessly into your smart home ecosystem. Using a smart hub, you can control your shades via an app on your phone, use voice commands through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, or set automated schedules so your blinds open and close automatically based on the time of day or the temperature outside.

20-) What are Zebra blinds, and why are they so popular in Ottawa homes?

Zebra blinds (also known as dual-sheer or transitional shades) are currently our top-selling product. They feature alternating bands of sheer and solid fabric that operate on a continuous loop. This gives you the precise light control of a traditional horizontal blind but with the soft, modern aesthetic of a fabric roller shade. You can align the solid bands for total privacy or stagger them to let natural light filter in, making them perfect for living rooms and dining areas.

21-) What is the difference between "room darkening" and true "blackout" blinds?

This is a crucial difference for bedrooms, nurseries, and home theaters. Room darkening fabrics block most light but may still allow a soft glow. True blackout fabrics block 100% of the light passing through the material. However, if you buy online and measure yourself, you will almost always have light gaps around the edges of the frame. Because our local team performs expert in-home measuring and installation, we ensure the tightest possible fit to minimize light bleed, giving you the best possible sleep environment.

22-) What are the best window coverings for high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens?

Natural wood blinds or delicate fabrics can warp, mildew, or absorb cooking odors in humid spaces. For bathrooms and kitchens, we highly recommend our premium faux-wood blinds or specially treated, moisture-resistant roller shades. They provide the high-end look of natural materials but are engineered to withstand humidity and are incredibly easy to wipe clean.

23-) Do you install custom blinds for large condo windows, bay windows, or patio doors?

Yes! Large condo windows and tricky bay windows are exactly why DIY online ordering is so risky. Bay windows require precise angle measurements, and large condo spans often require specialized track systems or motorized roller shades to handle the weight of the fabric. Our professional installers handle these complex layouts every day across the National Capital Region. We also ensure your condo blinds comply with strict condo board regulations, such as requiring street-facing backings to be uniform white.

24-) Do you provide commercial window treatments for Ottawa businesses, offices, or restaurants?

Yes, we have extensive experience outfitting commercial spaces. Offices and restaurants require specific solutions like commercial-grade solar shades to eliminate screen glare for employees, protect merchandise from UV fading, and reduce cooling costs in the summer. We provide tailored commercial quotes and can schedule professional installations that minimize disruption to your daily business operations.

25-) Why shouldn't I just buy cheap blinds and replace them every few years?

While big-box stores might seem cheaper upfront, they cost you far more in the long run. Cheap blinds warp in the Canadian cold, yellow in the summer sun, and often have mechanisms that jam within a year. By the time you buy your third set of replacement blinds and spend hours reinstalling them, you’ve spent more than if you had done it right the first time. With Blindstore Ltd., you get a perfect fit, a 7-Year Fabric Guarantee, and a system designed to look flawless for a decade or more.
