For complete darkness, blind screens are best because they seal the window with no light gaps around the edges. Blackout roller blinds and perfect fit blinds block light through the fabric, but a little light can show around the edges.

Aluminium or faux-wood venetian blinds and roller blinds in moisture-resistant, wipe-clean fabrics are best for steamy rooms. We’ll show you suitable fabrics during your visit.

Blackout roller blinds and Roman blinds with a blackout lining are the most popular choices. For complete darkness, such as a nursery or for shift workers, blind screens seal the edges so no light gets in.

Vertical and Allusion blinds draw fully to one side for easy access. For uPVC doors, perfect fit blinds clip onto each door so they move with it and don’t swing.

Perfect fit blinds clip onto the beading of uPVC windows and doors, so there are no screws or holes in your frames.

Perfect fit pleated and honeycomb blinds are a favourite. They sit close to the glass, and honeycomb fabric traps air to help keep the room warmer in winter.

A standard lining protects the fabric and gives a neat finish. Choose blackout lining for bedrooms and nurseries, or thermal lining to help keep heat in during winter.

Floor-length curtains look the most elegant and make windows feel taller. Sill length, or just below, suits windows above radiators or deep sills. We’ll advise when we measure.

Yes. PVC shutters are waterproof, so they won’t warp in steam.

Plantation shutters are hinged panels in a frame around the window and fold fully open. Perfect fit shutters clip into each pane of a uPVC window or door with no drilling and move with the window.

Most homes are fitted in a single day, depending on how many windows you’re having done.
