Curtains & Blinds Installation in Aurora

Installers charge per window or per hour, with the product itself the bigger cost. Simple roller and venetian fits are quick jobs; bay windows, tall stairwell windows, motorized blinds and plantation shutters cost more to fit. Supply-and-install packages from blind companies usually beat separate labour on price.

Plantation shutters are hinged interior panels with tiltable louvres, made to measure per window. They are the premium option — several times the price of quality blinds — but last decades, add resale appeal, and handle wet rooms well in PVC versions. Fitting is always included by the supplier.

For recess fits: width and drop at three points each, using the smallest; note obstructions like handles and tiles. For face fits: add overlap each side and above. Millimetre precision matters for made-to-measure — which is exactly why supply-and-install retailers include measuring in the price.

For hard-to-reach windows, large arrays, and anyone standardizing on smart-home control, yes — battery motors have made retrofit easy with no wiring. The premium per blind is real, so many homes motorize the living areas and keep manual controls in bedrooms. Check app/hub compatibility before buying.

A straightforward window takes 20-40 minutes; a whole home of 8-12 windows is usually a half-day to a day. Add time for masonry drilling, tall or awkward access, and motorized blinds that need pairing and charging.

Yes — snug-fit double-cell shades measurably cut window heat loss and condensation, and some utilities have offered rebates for them. The benefit depends on a tight recess fit, so professional measuring pays for itself.
