Custom Cellular Blinds Downtown Barrie – Free Installation

Less than you would think, because an inside mounted shade sits within the casing and lets the wood frame it. What people get wrong is the fabric tone. A bright white cell against a deep walnut casing reads as a patch, where a warm bone or a soft grey settles into the opening and lets the trim stay the thing you notice. We hold samples in the actual reveal before anyone commits to a colour.

Outside the opening, on the wall or on the ceiling above it. A tilt sash swings the whole frame into the room, so anything mounted inside the reveal either comes with it or gets crushed against it. A shade hung on the face of the wall with enough clearance lets you tilt the window with the shade down. Measure how far the sash projects first, since some open further than you expect.

The ceiling, or a bulkhead if the builder left one. There is often no reveal at all in these buildings, so an inside mount is not on offer and the shade hangs from above the glass instead. Concrete takes a sleeve anchor and holds better than any wood frame would. What we check first is whether the bulkhead above the window is hollow drywall, because that on its own carries nothing.

It happens when the spring is tired, or when a shade was made wide and short so the weight balance works against the mechanism. A well matched spring holds where you leave it for years. If one does start creeping, the internal cords can be restrung and the tension reset rather than replacing the shade, and that work sits under the 3-year warranty.
