This is GiCor’s house brand of metal coil drapery. Available in painted steel, stainless steel and painted aluminum, in coil sizes from 3/16” up to 1” and custom painted in ANY finish that you can imagine.
This project included a series of three concentric circles, each with varying lengths along the perimeter.
Stainless and clear aluminum finishes play with the surrounding light to create interesting shapes above. Often used to create barriers and dividers within a space.
Our showroom includes a wide variety of styles and finishes hanging throughout the space.
Contact our showroom and ask for Darren. He is our resident architectural products representative!

Today we all celebrate Isha’s 4th anniversary with GiCor. I remember the day that she interviewed with us, and after meeting her, as she walked out the door I turned to my office manager Darren and we both said “Bam”. You see, every time we interview someone for a new position, we always hold out for the “Bam”. It’s hard to do when you’re building a team where each member’s role is specific and you know that you need an absolutely special person to fill that need. In our terms” Bam” is about honor, collaboration, integrity, happiness and humor. Five qualities I appreciate the most about all of our group! When you come in to GiCor, Isha is likely the first person that you meet. She’s sincere, creative, humble, great at what does and most of all a joy to be around. We know you’ll love her as much as we do!
Thank you Isha for all your hard work and being part of the GiCor team. Happy Stampede everyone!
Too hot? Too cold? Exterior shading provides a barrier between outside temperature extremes, shade in the summer months, extra insulation in the winter months. These Talius shades are treating the primary bedroom windows where it hits 30 plus degrees in the summer and ices up in the winter. Client already noted a 5 to 8 degree temp reduction this morning. Client very happy and looking forward to the hot summer evenings now.
Have similar issues? Let us help you with our wide range of shading solutions.
We have been spending time down at Reflections condo project in Westman Village….check it out!
Installing these awesome motorized awnings with RF remotes and wind sensors. Sunbrella fabric. I’m telling you, they are making quite the impression!
We have been busy working gor our clients and busy settling into our new place! It takes some time but we’ve been adding personal touches and setting up. How about our board room wall?!
Our sign is up! Can’t wait to show you more of our new location! Really grateful for more space, light-filled location! Feeling grateful for more opportunities! Like many businesses, we were stopped in our tracks when first lockdown happened, laid off our staff for what was to be an underdetermined amount of time. Who knew what would happen. Turned out that we had our worst three months ever followed by our best months ever! And it’s continuing !
Thank you to our many wonderful clients who put their trust in us!

We were out to Edmonton last week at West Edmonton Cactus club installing these shades. We had the best install team for this one and we all rocked it out in 2 days which was amazing. Lots of hard work, several laughs, a few surprises and some really good food! Beautiful restaurant and great food! #gicorcanada #cactusclub #cactusclubedmonton #screenshades
It’s on! It’s off! This project had many challenges, including running of the wires, cutting angles, and installing some of the largest film pieces that we have ever attempted. Overall, one of our best film installs ever. Something to be proud of and special thanks to our patient installers! #gicorcanada #yychomes #electricwindowfilm #yycwindows

Here’s one of our projects from 2018 that is once again getting a lot of attention on social media. We were on this dive in pool project from beginning to end. Let’s give some credit below to our suppliers, products and contractor Dive in pool with GiCor home technologies inc. Contractor: Alair Homes Products: Automation, Lighting, Security, Audio/Video, Networking Manufacturers: Control4, True Audio, Tekmar, Nakymatone, Screen Innovations, Epsom, Integra, Lilin, Luxul Installers: Giles Dupas, Greg Fukushima, Tony Smythe Description: Complete Home Automation & AV which started as “The Dive In Theater” concept. Essentially floating in a pool on mattresses and “floaties” while watching movies on a super wide screen. Almost everything disappears in the 5000 square foot pool and games room addition until you hit “Watch” and that’s when all the action begins! 160” diagonal motorized / recessed projection screen lowers from the ceiling inside a custom wood pocket!
Wait For It....... TV in the ceiling is a great space saver and let’s just say, it’s pretty cool! #stuffwedo #gicorcanada #gicorhometech #yycbusiness #yychomeautomation #yychomes #samsung #dropdowntv #hiddentv #loveourclients #homeautomation #tvsolutions #hometechnology #yycbusinessowner

It’s starting off to be a good busy year! We couldn’t be more grateful for our awesome clients and the referrals that have come! Description of this project: Complete window covering package throughout the home including manual & motorized roller shades for SW Calgary residence with spectacular views to the west. Automated shading is achieved using the Somfy 24 volt “Ultra Quiet” series motors in conjunction with RF wall switches and the clients home automation system. #gicorcanada #gicorhometech #mechoshade #frasershading #somfy #motorizedshades #manualshades #rollershades #yycwindows #yycwindowcoverings #yychomes #windowcoverings #drapery #hometheatre #homeautomation #interiordesign #yycinteriors #loveourclients #somfycanada
check out our work at Joeys Mayfield in Edmonton! 4 motorized “Zip shades” from Draper Systems. Using a 5% open screen fabric from Phifer (SW2410) the heat, glare, winds and BUGS are kept out but the fresh air and slight breeze maintains an “outdoor” feel in the space. Draper manufacturers this roller shade system using a welded zipper into each side of the shade band. Zippers travel in a slimline side channel system to keep the fabric tight as the shades are deployed. Motors are Somfy’s new Maestria RTS (radio series) motor with obstacle detection for the ultimate in child / pet safety. Garage doors are also motorized and now run using same controls as the Zipshades”. JOEY Mayfield Common Somfy Canada #frasershading #gicorcanada #gicorhometech #motorizedscreens #zippershades

Listen to Giles talk about this easy solution controlled through remote! GiCor installed a motorized “Velux” skylight shade for an upper level skylight window in this home. Control is also thru RF remote. Loving this! VELUX Velux Canada Inc #velux #skylight #GiCorCanada #motorized
