Choose from a range of styles in a variety of fabrics, woods or metals, individually made to your exact requirements.

VENETIAN BLINDS
WOOD SLAT
Most of our wood slat blinds are made from Basswood. We also offer oak, cedar and ash. Our wood slat collection is available from 25mm to 50mm slats and a shutter style wood is available in 65mm slats. Wood blinds are a natural product so slight variation and knots may occur.

METAL SLAT
A simple metal Venetian blind. Availiable in 3 slat widths: 15mm, 25mm or 50mm. A wide range of colours and finishes are available including perforated.

ROLLER BLIND
A traditional blind operated by a roller with spring mechanism or sidewinder. When lowered the blind fills the window space with flattened fabric. Also available for Velux roof windows.

ROMAN BLIND
An elegant and simple blind with enduring appeal. Pulled up, the blind forms a series of crisp, concertina folds. Let down, it flattens to neatly cover the window.

WOOD WEAVE
A traditional French blind made from veneers of wood and reeds woven together in available in Roman or Roll-up style.

VERTICAL BLINDS
A modern, stylish vertical blind system available in 89mm, 127mm & 250mm louvres made in an extensive range of colours, textures and wood.

SLIDING PANELS
A modern, multi functional panel system, which lends itself perfectly for large floor to ceiling windows or a room divider.

MEASURING FOR BLINDS
Firstly decide if you require a recess or face fixing blind.

RECESS FIXING
The blind goes inside a recess, frame or architrave.

FACE FIXING
The blind will be fitted directly onto the wall, ceiling or outside of a window frame. The blind will be made to the exact dimensions given.

VENETIAN, PINOLEUM AND ROMAN BLINDS
 

HOW TO MEASURE FOR RECESS FIXING

  • Measure the narrowest width (A). Take into account any protrusions such as tiles.
  • Measure the required drop (B), this will include the blind mechanism.
  • Do not make any allowances as this will be done when the order is processed.
  • Consider on which side you require the blind controls.













    •  

    HOW TO MEASURE FOR FACE FIXING

  • Measure the required width (C). Consider any obstructions either side. It is recommended that the blind is at least 5cm wider (on either side) than the window recess.
  • Measure the required drop (D). It is recommended that your blind starts 10cm above the window recess.
  • Consider on which side you require the blind controls.












    • ROLLER BLINDS
     

    HOW TO MEASURE FOR RECESS FIXING

    To fit within the recess the fabric width is always smaller than the mechanism width. Therefore light may bleed around the edges.

  • Measure the recess width at the top (A).
  • Measure the required drop (B). This will include the roller mechanism.
  • Do not make any allowances as this will be done when the order is processed.
  • Consider where the brackets will be fitted (i.e. top, back or side).

    HOW TO MEASURE FOR FACE FIXING

    The blind covers the outside of the recess and therefore part of the surround.

  • Measure the required width of fabric (D). We recommend an overlap of at least 5cm on all sides of the window recess. However you must consider the additional space required for the mechanism and brackets, approximately 3.5m overall (C). NB. There is no need to make any allowances for this in your measurements of fabric.
  • Measure the required drop (E). This will include the roller mechanism.
  • Consider where the brackets will be fitted
