Custom Window Coverings & Blinds in St. Albert
Why St. Albert Homeowners Choose Custom Blinds
Builder-grade blinds don’t hold up in St. Albert. Cheap aluminum slats warp against south-facing glass, big-box roller shades fray at the chain, and franchise replacements end up costing nearly as much as the original install. Homeowners from Erin Ridge North, Oakmont, and Grandin call us when they’re ready to stop replacing the same bad product every 3 to 5 years.
Our factory-direct model means one call, one measure, one installer, and window coverings built to the exact dimensions of YOUR openings — not a close-enough size from a warehouse overseas.
Whole-Home Installs in Erin Ridge North and Oakmont
We install whole-home packages across Erin Ridge North, Oakmont, Kingswood, and Mission — homes where the window count usually runs 25 to 50+ and where motorized roller shades on great-room and primary-bedroom openings are the default spec.
A typical St. Albert estate install takes one to two days depending on motorization scope. We bring a working sample cart on the measure so you can see fabric in your actual light, not on a showroom floor.
Most St. Albert estate homeowners book from a referral. We are happy to share completed-install addresses in your neighborhood so you can see the work in person before you commit.
Built for St. Albert South-Facing Windows and River Valley Sun
St. Albert sits high above the Sturgeon River. The south and west exposures on most homes take direct, unfiltered sun for most of the day, which means glare on screens, faded flooring, and living rooms that cook through the summer evening. The right window coverings fix all three at once.
Solar roller shades cut 90 to 95 percent of UV and glare while keeping the outdoor view. First line of defence for south-facing great rooms in Jensen Lakes and Riverside.
Dual roller shades pair a solar sheer with a blackout liner on one bracket. Day view, evening privacy, one pull. Perfect for west-facing living rooms along the river.
Cellular honeycomb shades trap air in the cell pockets and add 3 to 4 R-value to the window. Critical for north-side bedrooms in a prairie winter and for reducing heat gain on south-facing bedrooms in summer.
Motorization is the right answer for any window over 8 feet wide, vaulted great-room windows, or anything above a stair landing. Somfy and Lutron systems integrate with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit — you can schedule shades to drop at sunset automatically.
The Novo Advantage for St. Albert Homes
St. Albert homeowners comparing quotes usually see Novo Blinds up against Budget Blinds and Blinds To Go. Here is the honest difference.
Factory-direct pricing. We own the manufacturing. No franchise markup, no middleman. The same roller shade that costs $450 through a franchise costs $280 through us.
Canadian-made, not imported white label. Our roller shades, zebra blinds, and cellular shades are produced in our Edmonton facility. Lead times are faster and warranty claims go through us directly, not a head office in Utah.
One installer, start to finish. The person who measures your windows is the same person who installs. No handoffs, no scheduling mix-ups, no sales rep promising something the installer later says is not possible.
Real written quotes. You get a full line-item quote during the measure, emailed to you the same day. No same-day-only pricing games, no artificial urgency.

Frequently Asked Questions About St. Albert Blinds
Do you charge for in-home measures in St. Albert?
No. Every in-home measure in St. Albert is free, takes 45 to 60 minutes, and includes fabric samples brought to your home so you can see materials in your actual light. You will receive a full written quote the same day or next morning. No deposits, no obligation, no high-pressure sales calls afterward.
How long from measure to install?
Typically 2 to 3 weeks for in-stock fabrics on roller shades, zebra blinds, and cellular shades. Custom drapery and specialty motorization runs 4 to 6 weeks. Because we manufacture in our Edmonton facility, our turnaround is roughly half the 6 to 10 weeks you will see from imported franchise brands.
How fast can I get a real written quote?
Same day or next morning. We do a free in-home measure (45 to 60 minutes), then email you a full line-item written quote with product, fabric, and install pricing. No same-day-only discounts, no pressure. Pricing varies by window count, product mix, and motorization, so we never quote sight-unseen — but the written quote is always free and yours to keep.
Do you install in Erin Ridge North estates?
Yes — Erin Ridge North is one of our most-installed St. Albert neighborhoods. A typical Erin Ridge North home runs 25 to 50+ windows and almost always includes motorized roller shades on great-room and primary bedroom openings. We are happy to share completed-install addresses in Erin Ridge North so you can see the work in person before booking.
What products work best for west-facing St. Albert windows?
West and south-facing windows in St. Albert take the worst of the river-valley sun. Our two best answers: dual roller shades (a solar sheer for daytime glare control plus a blackout layer for evening) on a single bracket, or motorized cellular honeycomb shades that can be timed to drop automatically at sunset. Both options also reduce summer heat gain dramatically — measurable on the same-room thermometer.
Can you match blinds in one room to what we already have?
Usually yes. If you have an existing fabric swatch, manufacturer label, or even a clear photo, we can match the color and material in most major roller-shade and cellular-shade lines. For older or discontinued products we will bring a curated set of close matches to your in-home measure so you can compare side-by-side in your actual light.
Are Novo Blinds actually made in Canada?
Yes. Our roller shades, zebra blinds, and cellular shades are manufactured in our Edmonton facility. That is why our lead times are 2 to 3 weeks instead of the 4 to 8 weeks typical of imported franchise brands, and why warranty claims go through us directly instead of a head office out of country.
Do you offer motorized blinds in St. Albert?
Yes — motorized roller shades, cellular shades, zebra blinds, and drapery. We carry Somfy and Lutron systems with battery, hardwired, or solar power options. Full Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit compatibility. Motorization is standard on most of our Erin Ridge North and Oakmont installs and adds roughly 40 to 60 percent over manual.
Custom blinds St. Albert homeowners choose for every window type. We install motorized blinds St. Albert estates rely on for long-drop family-room windows, custom window coverings St. Albert families need for west-facing glare over the Sturgeon River valley, and made-to-measure Erin Ridge blinds built to match the trim profile of every estate builder in the area. Whether you need blinds, shades, drapery, or full window treatments, each product is custom-cut in our Edmonton facility, measured in person, and installed by the same team start to finish.
