Covers Designers’ Edge has seen many new developments in the window covering industry since it began as a Southwestern Ontario business in 1987. “Adapting to change and being at the forefront of innovation has allowed our business to grow by offering a better overall buying experience,” says President Kevin Fellner. “We fabricate our own shades and draperies right here in London. Local fabrication not only eliminates the high cost of shipping, our products are also tested and installed by our expert team of installers.” 

The company also offers a wide range of other Canadian-made products. “High-quality, Canadian sources have become paramount,” says Fellner. Two popular premium brands are SunGlow, based in Toronto, and Altex from Quebec.

Innovation is also important to Covers Designers’ Edge. The company has worked in partnership during the past four years to develop a better bottom bar for roller shades. The new product eliminates pucker marks from staples, heat shrinkage waves from welds, and the end bubble caused during assembly. They are the first company to offer Smart Rail, which Fellner says is now being introduced around the globe. The functional design, coupled with a modern look, gives a secure, flat hold that surpasses all other products in the market. 

True View solar screens are another innovative product being introduced by Covers. Compared to traditional white screens, True View allows more visible light in, while reducing up to 98 percent of glare and up to 78 percent solar heat reflection. The result is a clearer, crisp view.

Launched last year, after meeting the latest child safety requirements, Covers Prestige Slide Wand Control allows for effortless one-hand operation. “The simple, two-button system is straightforward,” says Fellner. “It does not need to attach to the wall and is relatively inexpensive. It’s safe. It’s easy.”

Design experts at Covers’ four locations help customers find the perfect window treatment for their style, budget and light condition. Fellner, noting that customers can measure and install themselves for savings or use Covers’ professional installation services, adds “If you want truly Canadian, quality-crafted products for your home, go no further than Covers.” •
