Project Spotlight: Elevating the New Centre Culturel La Ronde with Custom Window Coverings & Stage Drapery

We are thrilled to finally pull back the curtain on one of our most exciting local projects to date: the window shade and stage drapery installation at the brand-new Centre Culturel La Ronde in Timmins!

After years of anticipation following the 2015 fire, the Franco-Ontarian community finally has its stunning new home at the corner of Mountjoy and Algonquin. We were honoured to be selected to provide the finishing touches that make this $7-million facility as functional as it is beautiful.

The Challenge: Versatility for a Multi-Use Space

The new La Ronde isn't just a building; it’s a dance studio, a bar (L'Armise), a community hub, and a performance venue. This meant the window coverings and stage equipment had to meet diverse needs:

  • Blackout capabilities for theatrical performances.
  • Light control for daytime events and meetings.
  • Durability to withstand a high-traffic community environment.

Our Solution: Quality Made in Canada

At the heart of this project was our commitment to quality. For La Ronde, we utilized high-performance roller shades and custom stage draperies that are proudly made in Canada.

Choosing Canadian-made products isn't just about supporting the local economy—it’s about quality control. Our shades are designed to handle the Northern Ontario climate, offering superior insulation and smooth operation for years to come. The stage draperies were custom-sized and weighted to ensure the perfect "drape" and acoustic performance for the many francophone artists who will grace the La Ronde stage.

Professional Installation for a Flawless Finish

A great product is only as good as its installation. Our professional team worked closely with the facility’s timeline to ensure every shade was perfectly leveled and every curtain track was securely anchored. In a state-of-the-art building like this, precision is everything. We ensured that the hardware was integrated seamlessly into the modern architecture, leaving the focus on the beautiful new space.

A Happy Customer & A Thriving Community

There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a community space come to life. The team at Centre Culturel La Ronde is now fully settled into their new home, and we are proud to have played a part in making their vision a reality.

Whether it’s a sold-out bingo night or a local theatre production, our window treatments and stage curtains are there to ensure the atmosphere is just right.
