Victoria’s Unique Park-to-Lake Living
Unlike many suburbs where homes sit directly on top of each other, Victoria is designed around preservation. With over 200 acres of reserved land and 22 municipal parks, your windows likely look out onto protected wetlands, wooded trails, or the rolling fairways of Deer Run Golf Club.
At True North Blinds, we specialize in window treatments that respect these views. Whether your home borders the Wassermann Lake Preserve or the expansive Carver Park Reserve, we provide solutions that allow you to enjoy the Trumpeter Swans and white-tailed deer from your breakfast nook without feeling like you’re on display to hikers on the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail.
Solving the “Big Window” Dilemma
Victoria’s architectural style often leans toward large, panoramic glass to take in the scenery. However, these “walls of glass” can lead to:
- The “Goldfish Bowl” Effect: At night, large windows become mirrors, making you feel exposed. Our dual-shade systems allow for a sheer screen during the day and a solid privacy barrier at night.
- Thermal Gain in Open Spaces: Large windows near the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum catch a lot of sun. We recommend cellular “honeycomb” shades which act as an extra layer of insulation, significantly lowering your AC bills during humid Minnesota Augusts.
Our Specialized Victoria Product Line
- Smart-Home Motorized Interior Shades: In Victoria’s newer builds, we integrate whisper-quiet motorization into your smart home system. Schedule your shades to rise with the sun or close automatically during the afternoon heat.
- Top-Down/Bottom-Up Shades: A Victoria Favorite. These allow you to lower the top of the shade to see the treetops and sky while keeping the bottom closed for total privacy from the street or neighboring park trails.
- Professional Measuring: We handle the technical details, ensuring a factory-perfect fit for massive lakefront windows and complex modern floor plans.
