FAQ
What is the difference between curtains and drapes?
Curtains are lighter and more casual in appearance. Drapes are typically lined, fuller, designed for stronger privacy, insulation, as well as light control. Both options can be customized for different rooms and window sizes.
How long does it take to get custom curtains made in Calgary?
Most custom drapery projects take several weeks from consultation to installation, depending on fabric availability, fabrication timelines, and project size.
What curtain length is best for Calgary homes with 9-foot ceilings?
Floor-to-ceiling drapery is often preferred for 9-foot ceilings, creating added height, softness, along with a more finished architectural appearance that integrates window treatments into the space.
Are custom curtains worth it compared to ready-made?
Custom drapery is designed specifically for the size and function of your windows. It offers a better fit, higher quality materials, improved insulation, smoother operation, and a more balanced look throughout the house.
How much do custom curtains cost in Calgary?
Curtain price depends on the fabric, lining, hardware, window size, and drapery style selected. Most fully customized installations are priced higher than ready-made panels because they are fabricated specifically for the home.
What curtains are best for Calgary winters?
Blackout curtains & lined drapery provide additional insulation during Calgary winters while helping reduce drafts around large windows.
Can I get motorized curtains in Calgary for a condo?
Yes. Motorized drapery is a popular choice in Calgary condos, offering a clean cordless look along with convenient control for tall windows and large patio doors.
