Custom Window Coverings for Coquitlam Homes | 25-Window Installation Case Study
May 16, 2025
A Case Study in Managing Large-Scale Window Covering Projects
When it comes to newly constructed custom homes, window coverings are often one of the final touches—but that doesn’t mean they’re simple. In fact, for large homes, they can become one of the more complex decisions in the finishing stages. That was the case for this beautiful 4,000 sq. ft. home in Coquitlam, which featured 25 windows across three floors.
The homeowners reached out to Finest Window Coverings to help them manage this process from start to finish. With a tight timeline and specific design needs, they were looking for a team that could deliver results with professionalism, precision, and speed.
The Challenge: 25 Windows, Tight Deadlines, and Custom Requirements From a design and logistics standpoint, 25 windows in one home present unique challenges. The homeowners were nearing the end of construction and needed solutions that were functional, stylish, and easy to manage.
Here’s what they were looking for:
● Light-filtering roller shades for the main living areas to allow natural light while maintaining privacy.
● Full blackout blinds for all bedrooms to ensure restful sleep and energy efficiency.
● Motorized blinds for high and hard-to-reach windows, especially in the stairwell and master bedroom.
● A cohesive aesthetic throughout the home that would complement their modern interior design.
● A fast turnaround to align with their move-in timeline.
Our Solution: A Phased, Stress-Free Approach
To ensure the process was as efficient and smooth as possible, we broke the project down into clear, manageable phases. This allowed us to avoid last-minute rushes, reduce errors, and give the homeowners peace of mind throughout the project.
Step 1: On-Site Consultation & Measurement
We began with a detailed on-site consultation, walking through each room with the homeowners and taking precise measurements of every window. This also gave us a chance to better understand their goals for light control, privacy, style, and ease of use.
Step 2: Tailored Product Recommendations
Next, we recommended a customized selection of products tailored to each room’s function and design. We balanced practicality with aesthetics:
● Motorized blackout blinds in Vancouver-area homes like this one are ideal for convenience and efficiency, especially for stairwells and tall windows.
● Bedrooms were fitted with blackout roller shades for total darkness and better sleep.
● Common areas received light filtering roller blinds in Vancouver and Burnaby, perfect for maintaining privacy while letting in natural light.
● In the dining area, Vertical Sheer Shades in Coquitlam added elegance and light diffusion.
We also helped them select fabric colours and finishes that flowed consistently from one room to the next, creating a seamless visual experience.
Step 3: Clear, Consolidated Quoting & Scheduling
With a large home like this, transparency is essential. We provided a consolidated quote outlining each room, product type, and associated cost. We also worked closely with their general contractor to schedule installation without interfering with other finishing trades.
The Outcome: On Time, On Budget, and Beautifully Cohesive Within just three weeks, we completed the full installation of all 25 blinds.
● A smart balance of motorized and manual solutions helped keep costs in check without sacrificing convenience.
● The cohesive aesthetic enhanced the home’s interior design.
● Our clients appreciated the stress-free, fully managed experience from consultation to completion.
● They were able to move in on schedule with all blinds professionally installed, tested, and ready to use.
