This installation features a Perfect Fit Universal frame, allowing a single pleated blind to cover both sections of the window while fitting neatly within the recess.

Unlike traditional Perfect Fit systems that fit to individual panes of glass, the Universal system can span multiple panes, creating a cleaner look and reducing the need for multiple blinds.

✓ One blind covering multiple panes
✓ Window remains fully operational
✓ Neat, integrated appearance
✓ Available with top down/bottom up operation for enhanced privacy and light control

A great option for modern windows where a standard blind solution isn't always the best fit.

This week we're proud to be supporting Child Safety Week, organised by the Child Accident Prevention Trust.

As a blinds company, child safety is something we take very seriously. All of our blinds are supplied and fitted in line with current child safety regulations, including the appropriate safety devices where required.

If you have older blinds in your home, it's worth taking a moment to check that any cords or chains are secured safely and kept well out of the reach of young children.

A simple safety device can make a big difference.

You can find more information about blind safety on our website:

Together, we can help create safer homes for children.

With the warmer weather on the way this weekend, now’s the perfect time to think about keeping your home cooler and more comfortable.

Closing your blinds during the hottest part of the day can make a real difference by helping to reduce heat gain and glare — especially in south facing rooms, conservatories and large glazed areas.

Bottom up and top down/bottom up blinds are a great option as they allow you to:
• block direct sunlight
• maintain privacy
• still let natural light into the room
• improve comfort throughout the day

Even standard blinds can help reduce heat build-up by stopping sunlight from warming surfaces inside the home.

Think you can’t have an awning? Think again

We sometimes hear: “We’d love an awning… but there’s nowhere to fit one.”

This installation proves otherwise!

With the right brackets and support system, we’re often able to work around obstacles like gutters, overhangs, limited wall space and awkward fixing positions.

For this customer, bespoke bracketry allowed us to safely and securely install a stunning awning exactly where they wanted it — transforming the space into a comfortable shaded seating area ready for summer.

Not only does an awning create an outdoor living space, it also helps reduce heat and glare inside the home too.

• Made to measure
• Huge range of bracket options available
• Motorised operation available
• Wind sensors optional
• Premium Dickson® fabrics
• Professionally installed

If you’ve previously assumed an awning wouldn’t work on your property, it may still be possible — we’re always happy to advise.

Making this space work all year round

We originally fitted the roof blinds in this lovely garden room a few years ago — and we’ve recently been back to complete it with side blinds.

The addition of the side blinds makes a huge difference, helping to reduce glare throughout the day and making the space far more comfortable to use, whatever the weather.

With multi-zone operation, each section can be adjusted independently, giving much greater control over light and privacy as the sun moves around.

A great example of how adding to an existing installation can completely transform how a space is used.

If you’re looking to get more from your conservatory or garden room, feel free to get in touch.

A little round-up of what we got up to in April - Some lovely jobs we’ve completed recently.

We also fitted a Pannetone to an Awning, but that's a whole other story!
