☀️ Own a Pub, Café, Restaurant or Hotel? Here's an Offer Worth Considering!

If you have an outdoor seating area, a quality retractable awning could be one of the most useful improvements you make to your premises.

It provides shade when the sun is strong, helps customers enjoy outdoor dining and can make your terrace a more attractive place to sit.

And there's another good reason to start planning now!

Choosing curtains? Don't forget to think about what happens when they're open.

It's easy to spend time choosing the perfect fabric and colour, only to discover that the finished curtains cover more of your window than expected when drawn back.

This is particularly important with wide patio doors, bifold doors and large living room windows as this installation of ours shows.

Different curtain headings gather differently.

Traditional pinch pleats create structured folds, while Wave curtains hang in regular curves and can provide a particularly neat stack when open.

As an illustration, Silent Gliss's curtain planning guidance suggests Wave curtains typically occupy around 23% of the track width when gathered, compared with approximately 33% for traditional pleated curtains. The actual space needed depends on the fabric, heading and track arrangement.

It's also worth checking whether your curtains can stack beyond the glazing, how the track will be fitted and whether there is sufficient space for the folds.

At Etienne Curtains & Blinds, we help customers throughout Chesterfield, Buxton and the Peak District consider these practical details alongside fabric and design.

Do your blinds get in the way when you open your windows or French doors?

It's a common problem, particularly with inward-opening windows, glazed doors and conservatories.

Perfect Fit blinds offer a practical alternative. Rather than hanging separately in front of the window, they sit within a neat frame that moves with the opening window or door.

That means:

- Less movement when the door or window opens.
- Easier access to handles, where the fitting allows.
- A neat appearance without a conventional hanging blind.
- A choice of fabrics for different privacy and light-control requirements.

Many Perfect Fit systems can be installed without drilling into suitable uPVC window frames, although compatibility needs to be checked.

At Etienne Curtains & Blinds, we've been helping customers find practical, made-to-measure window coverings since 1991.

If you're considering new blinds for French doors, conservatories or uPVC windows in Chesterfield, Buxton or the Peak District, visit our Chesterfield showroom for expert advice.

Thinking about shutters or new blinds before winter really sets in?

One question we would always encourage you to ask is whether the window covering will improve the comfort of your room as well as its appearance.

A full-height shutter can provide an additional barrier across the glazing when closed. A honeycomb blind works differently, using pockets of air within the fabric to reduce heat transfer. Properly lined curtains can also help, particularly when they cover the window generously.

And there's another detail that is often overlooked: gaps around the fitting.

Even an excellent insulating material may deliver less benefit if the installation allows air to circulate freely around it.

For a bay window in Chesterfield, a cottage in the Peak District or a modern home with large glazing, the best option may be quite different.

Our latest blog compares the choices and explains how independent testing has measured their thermal performance.

Is your living room warm enough until you sit near the windows?

Even modern double glazing allows heat to escape, and large glazed areas can make a room feel noticeably cooler during autumn and winter.

One option worth considering is Luxaflex Duette honeycomb blinds. Their cellular construction traps air within the fabric, adding an insulating layer at the window.

Independent testing commissioned by the BBSA found that a specialist framed honeycomb blind reduced heat loss through the tested window by up to 32%.

The fitting arrangement matters just as much as the fabric, which is why choosing the right system for your particular windows is important.

At Etienne Curtains & Blinds, we've been helping homeowners across Chesterfield, Buxton and the Peak District choose made-to-measure window coverings since 1991.

We've put together a practical guide comparing energy-saving blinds, shutters and curtains, including what the independent research actually tells us.

There’s a lovely garden view behind these kitchen blinds — watch it open up as the metal slats gather at the top.

That flexibility is part of the appeal of Venetian blinds. You can leave them lowered and tilt the slats to adjust the light, then raise them when you want the window uncovered.

Above a sink, the practical details deserve attention too. The blind needs to clear the tap, the slats need room to turn, and the controls should be comfortable to reach without leaning awkwardly across the worktop.

At Etienne Curtains & Blinds in Chesterfield, we consider the fitting and everyday operation alongside your choice of colour and finish.

You shouldn’t need to find your phone just to lower a blind, unless that’s how you prefer to use it.
Some households want a straightforward remote. Others want app control as well, perhaps to manage compatible blinds around their daily routine. The right choice starts with how you live, rather than the longest list of features.
Tell us who uses the room, which windows are awkward to reach and what you would like to operate together. We can then discuss the blind, motor and controls as one purchase.
Our new guide explains what to consider before choosing electric blinds.

A shutter sample tells you about the finish. It doesn’t tell you whether the panels will open comfortably beside your sofa.

That’s why we look at the whole window when planning shutters: how the opening sections work, where the handles project and what sits nearby.

Most day-to-day adjustments involve tilting the louvres, so the panels can stay closed while you change the light and privacy. But you’ll still want sensible access for opening windows and cleaning the glass.

If you’re considering shutters, show us how you use the room as well as the look you like. Those small practical details help us recommend a layout you’ll be happy living with.

There’s a useful detail in this video: once the external screen raises, the glazing is uncovered again.

That gives you a choice throughout the day. Lower the screen when you want more screening or softer light, then raise it to enjoy the view. It also leaves the inside of the room free for your chosen curtains, blinds and furnishings.

Fabric selection makes a real difference. A more open weave can retain more of the outward view, while a denser fabric provides greater screening. Daytime privacy also depends on the light on either side, so we wouldn’t treat a screen as a replacement for bedroom curtains after dark.

The installation needs thought too. Cassette position, side guides and access through glazed doors should be considered together, particularly if you’re planning new windows or an extension.
