Getting your keys at The Residences at Central Park this month means deciding what to put over bare glass. We make made-to-measure zebra shades, roller blinds and Shangri-La shades in Richmond Hill. For a condo window, start with how you want to use the covering, then check the mounting space. The prices below give you real sizes to compare before ordering.
What is The Residences at Central Park, and are people moving in?
The Residences at Central Park is a 12-acre masterplanned community on Sheppard Avenue East in North York’s Bayview Village area, Toronto, being built by Amexon Development Corporation, with five buildings in all. People are moving in now, and the Phase 1 building is occupied. Phase 2 adds one 19-storey and two 31-storey residential towers south of it, designed by Core Architects for Amexon Development Corporation.
What blinds suit floor to ceiling glass in a condo?
A zebra shade has alternating sheer and solid bands on one roller. Line the bands up for privacy, or offset them for filtered daylight. A tall pane can have both settings without needing a blind and a curtain. We make shades from 9 to 109 inches wide and up to 130 inches high, to the nearest 1/8 of an inch. Room-darkening zebra materials are 1, 2, 5, 9, 13 and 30.
IllustrationOur chain-operated shades have a continuous loop chain, sold shrouded and anchored to the wall with a tension device. You choose which side the chain hangs on. The workshop sets its drop length. Any shade can be motorized for $115.00 more. A motorized shade has no chain. One remote costs $50.00 and runs up to 15 shades.
What is the window head made of, and how do I mount a shade?
In a condo building, the window head is often concrete. That needs a masonry bit and the right plug. If you are unsure what you are fixing into or which fixing to use, leave it to an installer. Decide on an inside or outside mount before measuring. An inside mount sits within the opening and needs at least 2 inches of flat depth for the cassette. With less depth, choose an outside mount. It fixes to the wall above the opening and overlaps it, hiding an out-of-square frame and blocking more light.
Measure width first, then height, to the nearest 1/8 of an inch. For an inside mount, measure the opening’s width at the top, middle and bottom. Use the narrowest. Measure from the top of the opening to the sill at the left, middle and right. Use the longest height. Give us the exact opening measurements without subtracting anything. We make the deduction ourselves. For an outside mount, add at least 2 inches each side and 2 to 3 inches above.
Can neighbours order and book installation together?
Flats in one building can repeat, so several households can arrange their orders together. Each shade is still priced from the measurements of the window it is for. There is no minimum shade order. One shade is fine if that is all you need.
One installation visit can cover more than one home. Neighbours in one building who book together are counted as one order for installation. At seven or more windows, installation is 20% off. You can organise the booking together while each household chooses its own materials and controls.
When is a roller blind a better choice than a zebra shade?
A roller blind is one plain panel of fabric with no bands. It suits a condo window when you want a simple fabric layer and do not need the band adjustment of a zebra shade. A roller blind at 30 by 72 inches is $165.75. A chain-operated zebra shade at 30 by 72 inches is $237.00. Both prices are before tax, with shipping in Canada included.
We make roller blinds in materials 20, 21, 22 and 31. We use the workshop numbers to identify materials. You can order free samples on the website before buying and compare them in your own home.
What do made-to-measure blinds cost at common window sizes?
A chain-operated zebra shade at 30 by 72 inches is $237.00. At 36 by 84 inches, it is $311.40. At 48 by 72 inches, it is $348.60. At 42 by 84 inches, it is $354.80. All four together come to $1,251.80 before tax, with shipping in Canada included. These are examples of common window sizes. Your shade is priced from your window’s measurements.
A motorized zebra shade at 42 by 84 inches is $469.80 before tax. The remote is extra, once. Widths of 94 inches and over travel by courier in their own carton, with an $85 charge once per order. Orders are made in Richmond Hill and dispatched within three working days of confirmation. Transit is on top. GST or HST is charged by delivery province. The website accepts Interac e-Transfer.
Will ShadeForge come and install the blinds?
The Residences at Central Park is roughly 15 km from our workshop in a straight line. It is inside our installation area of 75 km from Elgin Mills and Yonge in Richmond Hill. Installation costs $100 per window, with a minimum of three windows for a visit. At seven or more windows, installation is 20% off. Homes that book together count as one order.
When our own team installs a shade, its mechanical parts are covered for life. The covered parts are the roller, chain, brackets and motor. Fabric is excluded. Otherwise, the mechanical-parts warranty is 1 year free, currently upgraded free to 3 years. A 5 year mechanical-parts cover can be bought at checkout, where its price is shown in dollars for your order.

Where the facts come from. What this page says about The Residences at Central Park comes from urbantoronto.ca, which we read on 6 October 2026. ShadeForge makes and fits window shades. We are an independent business with no connection with Amexon Development Corporation or with The Residences at Central Park, and the photographs on this page are of other homes we have fitted. The picture marked Illustration was made by computer to show the kind of window: it is not a picture of The Residences at Central Park, and not a photograph of our work.
