Blinds FAQ

There are a massive range of blinds available, here are some of the most popular:

• Venetian blinds – Horizontal slats that can be tilted and raised/lowered

• Roman blinds – Fabric that folds up in pleats when raised
• Smart blinds – Motorized blinds controlled remotely or automated

• Insulation – Trap air to reduce heat transfer
• Versatility – Many styles, colors, and materials available
• UV protection – Shield furniture and floors from fading
• Aesthetics – Enhance interior design and create a finished look
• Affordability – Typically less expensive than custom curtains

Choosing the right blinds for your property can be difficult. Key considerations are both the style you are going for in the room and what benefits you are looking for (insulation, privacy, light filtering). 

Our team is available to bring samples to your property and consult with you on the right choice for you.
