blind choice Tips:

Everybody has their favoured blind type but it does not always follow that the choice of blind fits the purpose, such as woodslat not being suitable in conservatories or damp conditions, romans not suitable in moist environments, some pleated fabrics not practical in sun drenched conservatories e.t.c.
We would urge web Customers to email us with their query and we will eliminate unsuitable fabric/material types and advise you accordingly.

pleated blinds

Pleated Blinds
Pleated blinds are neat, modern and simple to use. They are made from fabric which concertinas so that it folds up stacking very neatly using a cord lock system, providing you with maximum control of light in your room. Ideal for Conservatories as they can be used as roof blinds to shade the amount of sunlight entering your conservatory. There are a variety of fabrics available offering a choice of shading from translucent to blackout. The fabric is as efficient at retaining warmth during the cold winter evenings and as it is reflecting the sun's heat throughout the summer. We can use any of the fabrics available to make Perfect Fit Pleated Blinds, which eradicates the need for hanging cords making them an ideal Child Friendly product.

roman blinds

Roman Blinds
Roman Blinds are manufactured from curtain fabric and backed with a 100% cotton, or in some case blackout lining. Due to this fact they are dry clean only. In order to retain the fabric fold feature of the Roman Blind the fabric covers approximately one third of the window drop when it is raised to its highest point, therefore this blind type is more suited to a window which is deeper than it is wide. We offer a wide range of fabrics, many of which have bold patterns and striking prints. All of our roman blinds are operated by deluxe side wind controls which eradicates the need for cleats to be fitted to your window frames, and allows easier smoother operation.



woodslat venetian blind

Woodslat Blinds
Beware of cheap wood slat venetians that are available – these are imported ready made blinds that are cut to size. True made to measure venetians are individually manufactured and therefore we can offer a choice of shades, with cord or tape options and a slat width of 25mm, 35mm or 50mm. As wood is a natural product consideration needs to be made of the environment in which the blind is to be located. Try to avoid moist conditions or direct sunlight as warpage can occur, consider instead the aluminium wood effect venetian as shown on our Venetian page. Also bear in mind the size of the blind required, large blinds can be very heavy to operate and require a very good anchorage when fitting.

intu roller blind

Intu Roller Blinds
INTU Roller Blinds that not only bring beauty to a room but also provide outstanding energy efficiency and room darkening options. The sleek fascia profile fits perfectly into the window bead with hidden fixing brackets. Extruded profiles cover the side edges of the fabric giving a superbly integrated appearance.  The INTU system is available with any of the roller blind fabrics that we offer. Operating an INTU Roller Blind is extremely simple. Just rotate the bottom bar to unlock, move the blind to the required height and relock by rotating the bottom bar. As with the Perfect Fit system, the INTU Roller is particularly ‘child safe’ as it has no hanging cord loops or chains.
