Venetians are a fantastic choice if you’re looking for modern window blinds.

They come in plain and bold colours with plenty for you to choose from. Plus, they’re available in a wide range of materials, from aluminium and UPVC to wooden and faux wood. So, there’s an option to suit every taste.

Venetian blinds offer great control over the light and privacy within the home. You can tilt their slats or bring them up fully, making them extremely flexible when it comes to changing the atmosphere in each room throughout the day!

Modern Roller Blinds

One of our most popular styles, roller blinds are a great option if you want a contemporary look. No matter which designs you choose, roller blinds will offer a sleek and simplistic look with many great benefits.

Rollers come in sheer, standard, dimout and blackout fabrics, so there’s an option for every requirement. You’ll find them in plain colours, patterns, and prints, with lots of beautiful designs available.

Modern Roman Blinds

Romans are often thought of as a more traditional style, but they can also make beautifully modern blinds. It will depend on the design of the fabric you choose and how you style the surrounding room to match!

They’re a beautiful choice for living spaces and bedrooms where you might want to add the depth of texture for a cosy warm feel. Go for natural-coloured fabrics to create that desired look of modern window blinds, keeping the rest of your décor minimal. Roman blinds will create a soft effect and let in tons of light when they are open.

Modern Vision Blinds

Vision blinds are probably our most modern-looking style of window blind. Their striped design with alternating transparent fabric ‘slats’ creates a stylish blind perfect for every room across the home! Take your pick from a wide range of neutral or vibrant colours to create the perfect modern window blinds to suit your home.

What’s more, vision blinds also offer great light and privacy control. Adjust the stripes to alight or alternate, or raise the blind entirely to enjoy full daylight.

Motorisation for ULTRA Modern Window Blinds

If it’s truly modern window blinds that you desire, motorised blinds could be perfect for you. Open and close your blinds at the simple click of a button, or link them to your home automation system for added security when you’re not home!

Roller blinds are one of our most popular choices for kitchen window blinds. It’s easy to see why! They come in a wide range of colours and designs, and are available in wipe-clean fabrics too!

Next up are vertical, Venetian and vision blinds. Each of these options offers fantastic levels of light and privacy control making them an ever-popular choice for kitchen window blinds.

Verticals are a classic. There are hundreds of options when it comes to colour and design so it’s easy to find a style to suit your kitchen. 

Venetian blinds are beautiful and simplistic. Available in a wide range of neutral and wooden effects, as well as metallic shades, Venetian blinds will adorn your kitchen window in style. Venetian’s are also extremely easy to keep clean.

Vision blinds (also known as Day and Night Blinds or Zebra Blinds) are new kids on the block when it comes to blinds, but they’re certainly up at the top in terms of popularity! They’re a great choice for kitchen window blinds thanks to their modern and minimalistic appeal, plus they’re available in lots of colours and finishes too.

Things To Consider When Choosing Kitchen Window Blinds

Obviously, ‘The Best Kitchen Window Blinds’ is not a one-size-fits-all answer. Sorry! You’ll have to partake in some careful considerations first. For example, how do you use your room, how long do you want your blinds to last, where is your window positioned and so on…

The Privacy Control Required from Your Kitchen Window Blinds

Are you searching for blinds for your kitchen because of a lack of privacy without them? If so, you might want to consider how much control you’d like to have.

Of course, with any blind, you can close them completely and enjoy complete privacy. But if you also want to let the light in at the same time, we recommend Venetian, vertical and vision blinds.

The Light Control Required from Your Kitchen Window Blinds

You’ll also need to consider whether you need to control the amount, or the angle of, the light coming into your kitchen. This will affect which the best kitchen window blinds are for your needs.

Light control is likely to be a consideration if you use screens in the kitchen. For example, if you have a TV in there or use it as a work area. Again, Venetian, vertical and vision blinds are great options for controlling the degree of light in your kitchen. You’ll be able to control the light and your privacy completely by angling the slats to your exact preference.

Cleaning Your Kitchen Window Blinds

The kitchen is a room that’s prone to spillages, splashes, and grease. Your blinds are inevitably going to show the effects of this too. Especially if your window is positioned close to a cooking or food preparation area!

Therefore, it’s a good idea to choose kitchen window blinds that are easy to clean – preferably that can be wiped clean and won’t need machine washing! This will be the most hygienic option.

Luckily, there are lots of wipe-clean and humidity-resistant window blinds now available. Most you can dust, or wipe and they’ll be as good as new!

The Material of Your Kitchen Window Blinds

The kitchen is often a room with high levels of humidity and warmth due to the cooking that goes on in there regularly. Because of this, the material of the blinds you choose matters a lot. Some materials can warp or discolour when exposed to these conditions.

The Durability of Your Kitchen Window Blinds 

The blinds you choose need to be durable and last as many years as possible. It’s worth investing in a good set of window blinds due to the sheer volume of traffic and (potentially messy) activity that goes on in your kitchen.

How to Measure for Your Kitchen Window Blinds 

Measuring your windows might seem like a daunting task, but don’t fret! We’ve put together a handy ‘How to Measure’ Guide, to make it super simple! Simply follow our instructions set out in the guide, then enter them into the product page on our website to place your order.

Of course, if you need any further advice to measure your windows, feel free to ask us!

Pleated blinds are naturally beautiful thanks to their elegant folds which will add a soft textured effect to any interior.

Pleated blinds are made up of a ‘honeycomb’ structure. A series of hexagonal cellular ‘gaps’ between two layers of fabric that are joined at the top and bottom of each shape. The gaps are flattened when your blinds are open and expand again when your blinds are closed.

The cellular composition of pleated blinds allows them to sit neatly and discreetly at the top of the window frame. They are cordless; operated manually or via motorisation. This makes them totally child-safe, especially when paired with our Perfect Fit system!

Pleated Blinds Come in Lots of Styles and Fabrics

Not only are pleated blinds naturally beautiful. We have hundreds of styles available so you can choose them to suit your home perfectly.

Take your pick from a wide range of stunning colours, tones, and textures. From trendy Voile Sage and Neutral Ivory to Statement Chambray Blue and patterned Cherry Blossom, pleated blinds have a style to suit every taste and décor.

Your choice is exceptional when it comes to pleated blinds. You’ll be able to create the perfect environment within your home thanks to our range of fabrics on offer. Choose from standard fabric, blackout, voile, solar protective, and anti-microbial. Just ask our team about which fabrics will meet your requirements.

Not only that, but you can also take your pleated blinds to another level and upgrade to motorised blinds. Our motorised pleated blinds are the perfect contemporary style statement within your home. With motorisation, you’ll gain full control of the light, privacy, and temperature in your home, all at a simple click of a button on your rechargeable remote! It really can be that easy.

Pleated Blinds for Improved Efficiency

The honeycomb structure of pleated blinds enhances the acoustics and insulation within your home. They work by trapping pockets of air in the hexagonal cells between each section. This adds extra depth between your room and your windows. Therefore, you’ll benefit from a soundproofed, and warmer home! It’s a win, win!

Take everyday efficiency one step further and choose Perfect Fit pleated blinds! The Perfect Fit system fits directly to the UPVC frame and removes the risk of any gaps between your blinds and your windows. Therefore, the draught from outside is prevented from getting in, and the light leakage that can sometimes spill around the edges of your blinds, is no more!

In turn, your home will be dramatically warmer, and the blinds will be considerably more effective in blocking the light from getting in.

Pleated Blinds Work Well Across the Home

Just like most of our blind styles, pleated blinds are ideal for use across the entire home. Their simplistic design makes them extremely versatile when it comes to fitting in with your decor, and our wide range of fabrics means there’s a choice to suit the requirements of every room.

Thanks to their insulating qualities, they are particularly useful in conservatories and caravans, where temperature control can be difficult. For this reason we find that pleated blinds are often a popular choice where the room is at a premium.

For rooms with high levels of humidity like kitchens and bathrooms, we’d recommend choosing one of our moisture-resistant pleated blind fabrics. This will help them to look as good as new, for longer.

How to Clean Your Pleated Blinds

Pleated blinds are a fantastic choice if you’re looking for a low maintenance window dressing. To keep them looking good as new, there are a couple of cleaning options we recommend.

To remove dust:

To remove any settled dust from your pleated blinds, first, close the blinds completely. Then, with either a dry dust cloth or a handheld vacuum, glide over your blinds from top to bottom, easily lifting the dust.

To remove stains:

If you’ve found any settled stains on your pleated blinds, use a damp cloth and gently rub the affected area. It may be easier to remove to blind from your window and lay it out to make it easier to reach. Then, rehang the blind when completely dry, patting it down with a towel to speed up the drying, if you wish.

When you choose blinds from A1 Blinds you can choose from hundreds of different fabrics, styles, colours, and designs – including over 100 different pleated blinds!

If you’re not sure about which you fancy, we can help you. You could visit our Blaydon or Forest Hall showroom in Newcastle and let one of our expert team guide you through our entire range!

Choose from roller, vertical, Venetian, Roman, pleated, allusion, vision, panel, Velux, motorised and perfect-fit blinds! All of which are available in hundreds of different fabrics, colours, patterns, and finishes. So, it’s easy to find a blind to suit your needs and taste.

Shutters on the other hand have more of a limited selection. Where plantation shutters have a specific look, this limits the options available in terms of making them your own. Still, you can choose from a selection of colours, shades, and wooden tones to find a look that suits your interiors perfectly.

Plantation Shutters VS Blinds: Light and Privacy Control

A great thing about plantation shutters is that they offer fantastic light and privacy control. You have three options when it comes to using your shutters:

1) Open them fully by pulling the shutter ‘doors’ away from the window completely. This will let in the daylight fully and open your home up to a view.

2) Keep the shutter ‘doors’ closed and position the slats to an angle you desire. Tilting the slats up, down or horizontal will adjust the amount of light and privacy you achieve. With this position, you’ll be able to enjoy light and privacy at the same time.

3) With the shutter ‘doors’ closed, tilt the slats so that they are also closed. This will close the blinds completely, blocking the light and granting you complete privacy as and when you require.

With blinds, the light and privacy control will depend solely on the blind style that you go for. Some blinds offer limited light and privacy control. For example, with roller, Roman, and pleated blinds it’s an open or close situation.

However, there are some blinds that, similar to shutters, offer an impressive degree of light and privacy control. These blinds are Venetian, vision, and vertical blinds. Like plantation shutters, these blinds have slats (or stripes) that can be adjusted to your exact preference. You can also fully open, and fully close these blinds too. You’ll have full control over the light entering your home.

Plantation Shutters and Blinds: Versatility Across the Home

Plantation shutters and blinds are extremely versatile across the home. Both work perfectly in every room including bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and living rooms. So, there’s no need to worry about that!

The only point we should make is that for rooms with high humidity (maybe your kitchen and bathroom), we’d recommend opting for faux-wood shutters and Venetian blinds, rather than their real wood alternatives. This is because real wooden blinds can distort in moist conditions.

Plantation Shutters and Blinds: Cost

In terms of blinds, it will largely depend on which you go for! However, there is a budget-friendly option for each style of blind on offer. For example, real-wooden Venetian blinds are at the higher end of the scale, but faux-wooden Venetian blinds – which have the same effect – are much more affordable!

Plantation shutters are known for being expensive, but in terms of durability and lifespan, they actually work out excellent value for money.  Think of them as more of an investment into your home, rather than a cost!

Personal Preference

To answer the question ‘Plantation Shutters or Blinds?’… it all boils down to personal preference! Both options make a great choice of window dressing for every home, it just depends on the look you’re hoping to achieve.

For example, plantation shutters will bring a particular vibe to your home that some just might not like! They’re known for a chic or country kind of feel. Likewise, this could be the exact look that you’re going for!

Luckily, we have all styles of plantation shutters and blinds available to view in our Blaydon and Forest Hall showrooms. Why not come down and see us? We’ll show you through our ranges, guide you through our options and do our best to advise you on the perfect blinds for your requirements.

Alternatively, you can book a FREE home consultation appointment via our website! During this appointment, our team will measure your blinds and help you choose your perfect style from a wide range of samples. You can book this here, or by contacting us at info@a1blindsuk.co.uk or 0800 193 0417.

However, an increasingly popular style that is consistently chosen in a neutral shade is a Venetian window blind. Whether it’s an aluminium, wooden or faux wood Venetian, the neutrals win every time. We must admit, these are one of our favourite styles when looking for a timeless window dressing.

What Are the Benefits of Neutral Coloured Blinds?

1) Neutral coloured blinds will outlive most colour schemes you go for. Therefore, if you’re partial to a décor change, we’d recommend that you choose a white, beige, or grey-toned blind.

2) Neutral coloured blinds will suit every room in the house. So, if it’s a uniform scheme you’re aiming for, this could be the colour palette for you!

3) This is the most widely available colour scheme when it comes to blinds. We have hundreds of shades of whites, beiges, greys, and browns for you to choose from. We’re certain you won’t be stuck for choice.

Bold Coloured Blinds

Choosing bold coloured blinds could make the world of difference in your home. Think about it… your blinds are an accessory, a pretty large one at that. So, why not use them to make a statement?

Which Colours Are in This Year?

If you’re looking to keep up with the trends, then there are certain colours we’d recommend. Thanks to Pantone’s choice of Colours of The Year for 2021, pale greys and sunshine yellows have become very fashionable of late. However, with the new year drawing closer, there’ll soon be a new kid on the block for Pantone’s colour of the year 2022, so stay tuned for that one!

Shades of green and navy blues are always a popular choice when it comes to interiors. Both offer vibrant and warming tones that will create a welcoming space for you to enjoy. Plus, they’re extremely versatile too!

Our Top Tip When Choosing Bold Coloured Blinds

When you choose a bold coloured blind, you’re making a big statement! Therefore, it’s important that it complements your interiors for years to come.

We’d recommend going for a shade with lots of colour-pairing options. For example, a yellow blind could be paired with grey, black, and navy accessories – so you could restyle your room easily if you wish!

What Are the Benefits of Bold Coloured Blinds?

1) Statement coloured blinds enable you to brighten up your space easily. Just the simple addition of a brightly coloured blind could take your home from boring to bold in seconds!

2) We have bold coloured blinds across our entire range. Available in every style from rollers to Venetians, bold coloured blinds could be just the thing your home is missing!

Patterned Coloured Blinds

Have you considered a patterned blind? Available in Romans, rollers, verticals, and more, patterned coloured blinds are extremely accessible for your home! They’re a great choice for introducing some colour, pattern, and style. Available in bold retro, dainty florals and textured prints, there is a patterned coloured blind to fit with any interior.

Where Do Coloured Blinds Work Best?

Both bold and neutral-coloured blinds look fantastic in any space. Perfect for kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms and more, you can dress all windows across the home with coloured blinds in any shade!

Our stunning range of vertical blinds enhances every room with stylish looks and excellent light and privacy management properties. Vertical blinds are simple to install yourself, and EasyFit makes the process much easier with our free and fast delivery service. This blog will help you measure for vertical blinds, so you can send our team the most accurate dimensions and ensure we send you the correct fit.

How To Measure

First, you should use a metal tape measure to work out the dimensions of your window. Metal tape measures are more reliable and provide greater accuracy. If you don’t have one, use a good quality tape measure.
You have the choice of measuring in either inches or centimetres. If using the former, please measure to the nearest sixteenth of an inch; the latter requires measurement to the nearest millimetre.

Next, you need to decide how you would like your blinds to sit, inside or outside the window. For an inside the window fit, it is called a Recess Size. The outside of your window fit is called Exact Size.

Write It Down

Once you’ve decided between the two fits, it’s best to measure the width by going from left to right. Then write down the measurement, so you don’t forget!
Then measure the length from top to bottom. Remember to write it down. Always write down the width measurement first, followed by the length or drop measurement. It’s best practice because this is how measurements are recorded in the industry, and writing it down this way will avoid confusion and possible mistakes at the manufacturing stage.

Remember to consider any protruding window handles to ensure your new vertical blinds can hang freely.
When you measure for vertical blinds, it’s recommended to measure your window in several places to factor in any size variation. You must note down the smallest measurement.
Once you have done all that, you should have the required measurements to get the perfect vertical blinds for your home or business.
If you require further help with installing vertical blinds, please access our fitting instructions to guide you through the process.

Benefits Of Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds offer you and your home many benefits. Firstly, they are simple to install yourself. By following our fitting instructions, you’ll have a straightforward experience putting up the blinds.
The main reason vertical blinds are simple to fit is that we precision manufacture them at our bespoke factory in the North East.

Their design is a timeless classic that never goes out of fashion, so they always retain their appeal whether you are installing vertical blinds in your home or office.

Superb Function

Vertical blinds are outstanding at managing the light you let into a room and your privacy. They are easy to adjust and have an extensive range of movement and angles to create the perfect position that gives you the right amount of sunlight. Vertical blinds are great for privacy because they close effectively to block people from looking into your room. The materials and fabrics we use are of the highest quality, so they perform exceptionally well, guaranteeing you comfort in your private space.

Unparalleled Durability

EasyFit uses the best fabrics in the manufacturing phase. We combine elegant aesthetics with outstanding durability in our vertical blinds. Toughness is hardwired into their design and fabric. They will perform for years to come and withstand the rigours of daily life. Our vertical blinds are made to stand the test of time.

Thermal Efficiency

The beauty of vertical blinds, aside from looking great, is their ability to create an additional thermal barrier in your home. In the winter, you can close them across your window to help retain heat in your room. Because they effectively cover the window, you’ll prevent heat from escaping and, in turn, save money on your energy bills.
The same goes for the summer but in the opposite way. When sunlight is making your room too hot to be comfortable, it’s easy to shut your vertical blinds to stop light coming in, and therefore make your living space cooler. They work wonders for temperature regulation and add genuine comfort to your home.

We put the customer in the driving seat when it comes to the choice of style. A1 appreciates that every Gosforth home is different. That’s why we offer bespoke roller blinds to ensure you’re delighted with your new blinds. We offer an incredible collection of custom colours and fabrics.

Benefits of Roller Blinds

Light & Energy Efficient Design

Roller blinds provide multiple benefits when it comes to light and heat. They give you the ability to block out light from windows and doors. This is an excellent way of keeping a room cool and prevents discolouration of wooden floors and other surfaces in summer. In winter, closing your roller blinds creates an extra thermal barrier, keeping your Gosforth home warm while lowering the costs of your heating bill. At night, our blinds do a fantastic job of blocking out artificial light, so if you’re a sensitive sleeper or there’s an annoying street light near your bedroom window, you can count on our blinds creating a comfortable, dark environment optimised for sleep.

Functional Operation

Our roller blinds are simple and safe to use. They are for the whole family, so you can be confident that young children won’t struggle to use them. It only takes a quick pull to feed the blind up or down. The cord mechanism is precise and responsive, giving you excellent control of how far you want to roll the blind. We use only the best quality fabrics that offer outstanding durability and ease of use, ensuring your roller blinds will perform like new for years to come.

Bespoke Design

Our gorgeous range of roller blinds can be tailored to your exact specification. A1 gives you the choice of colours, fabrics, patterns, designs and dimensions to ensure you have the perfect blinds for your Gosforth property.

Do you need something up at your windows but you’re not sure what? Maybe curtains are too bulky and standard blinds are not quite enough? Do you simply require a decorative feature? Here at A1 Blinds, we have a feeling that allusion blinds just might be for you…

What Are Allusion Blinds?

Allusion blinds are your modern-day alternatives to voile curtains. Leave the voiles in the past and step into a world of fashion-forward allusion blinds.

This unique shading solution provides subtle light diffusion with a view when they’re open. Or privacy, security, and style when they’re closed.

The stand-out feature of allusion blinds is their lush fabric vanes that will soften any space thanks to their flowing nature. When open, the woven fabric allows tons of natural light to filter through it whilst maintaining the privacy you would expect from a standard blind

What Are Allusion Blinds Made Of?

With a clever combination of voile fabrics and rotating vertical vanes, Allusion blinds are made of opaque and sheer textured fabrics. In between their soft sheer layers, there are panels of opaque fabric. It’s the opaque fabric layers that enable you to completely block out the light, should you wish!

The fabric vanes are individually hung across the top rail which helps to create that light flowing look that allusion blinds are known and loved for!

The way they open, tilt and close likens them to vertical blinds. However, unlike standard vertical blinds, Allusion blinds don’t have chains connecting each of the vanes. They’re designed so that you can walk straight through them with ease, even whilst the blind is drawn closed. This makes them a great option for doors with large windows.

How Do Allusion Blinds Work?

Allusion blinds offer 3 different light and privacy options making them a highly flexible choice of window blind.

Fully Open: To enjoy complete daylight and an uninterrupted view, slide the fabric vanes to one side of the window. Do this with the easy-to-use wand provided.

Filter the Sunlight: Tilt the vanes to the open position using the provided wand. This will create subtle light diffusion while maintaining the view.

Total Privacy: Use the wand to rotate the vanes and close the blind completely for total privacy and light-blocking.

What Styles of Allusion Blinds Are Available?

Allusion blinds come in soft flowing fabrics as standard. All fabrics are a plain, woven design and come in several neutral tones including whites and creams for an elegant window dressing. If it’s a bolder statement you’re looking to make, allusion blinds are available in a stylish black fabric too!

What Are the Benefits of Allusion Blinds?

Allusion blinds come with a long list of benefits for your home… they don’t just look beautiful!

–           The softness of allusion blinds adds an extra level of texture and depth to any room. Enjoy luxurious light flowing fabrics that work perfectly with every décor.

–           Excellent light and privacy control thanks to their versatility when it comes to opening and closing options.

–           Allusion blinds are child-safe by design. You won’t need to worry about any chains or cords that a child might get tangled into. Operate allusion blinds by a child-safe wand which grants you excellent control over the position of the vanes.

–           For ultimate luxury and style, allusion blinds can be motorised, meaning you don’t even have to get up to adjust them… Operate them with ease at the click of a button!

–           Allusion blinds allow you to access your garden by walking through the blind with the doors open. Save time by not having to completely draw the blinds open every time you need to go outside.

Where Do Allusion Blinds Work Best?

The beautiful allusion blinds will create an instant impact in any room in your home. They’re perfect for all window types in your bedroom, living room, kitchen, and all other rooms across the house!

However, to feel the full effect of allusion blinds, hang them in large windows or patio and bi-folding doors. Their flowing fabric vanes will hang elegantly while allowing you to enjoy both light and privacy at the same time.

Choosing The Best Blinds for Offices

You might be wondering, ‘What’s so different about blinds for offices?’. Well, nothing. But certain blinds work much better than others in the office environment.

When it comes to blinds for offices, style and design is key. You probably use a screen in your office, don’t you? So, without the right blinds glare from the sun, passing cars or streetlights may make it difficult for you to focus. You might also require privacy, depending on what your job is.

We have over 10 blind styles on offer at A1 Blinds, all of which are perfectly fine blinds for offices. Our range extends to Roman Blinds, Panel Blinds, Pleated Blinds, plus many more styles to choose from. However, we recommend Roller, Vertical, Vision, or Venetian blinds for offices, both home and commercial. Here’s why…

Roller Blinds for Offices

Roller blinds for offices are the most popular choice. They look great and they’re doable on a budget too! Rollers are made up of one large piece of fabric. Perfect for creating a statement piece if you choose a bold colour! Or of course, stick with neutrals if you’re going for a more minimalist office space.

Roller blinds come in standard, dimout and blackout fabrics, making them ideal for reducing direct glare if that’s what you require. Rollers however cannot filter the light as they don’t have slats. So be sure to consider this before making your decision!

Vertical Blinds for Offices

Vertical blinds for offices have adjustable louvres (slats) that allow you to filter light and control privacy as much as you’d like. They’re the perfect blind for providing shade on your screens whilst still allowing light into the room.

Not only that, but Vertical blinds for offices have come on a long way since what you may remember! These days, vertical blinds are available in a huge range of colours, fabrics, and prints, meaning there’s a colour to suit all office interiors!

Venetian Blinds for Offices

Venetian blinds for offices offer a super sleek window covering. Offering similar benefits to verticals, but with horizontal slats, Venetian’s are fantastic blinds for offices as they allow you to get the lighting just right. 

These too are available in a wide range of colours and finishes. Choose from neutrals metallics or bold vibrant colours, in finishes including wooden, faux wood, and aluminium.

Vision Blinds for Offices

If it’s an extra modern look you’re creating, Vision blinds for offices are a great contemporary option. Available in a range of different colours, these blinds will liven up your office perfectly, and add a funky vibe!

Vision blinds are made of two alternating strips of fabric – one that is a translucent voile and one that is an opaque coloured fabric. You can adjust the fabrics to allow light into the office or block the light out completely if it’s interfering with your work! Vision blinds for offices are extremely flexible when it comes to light control.

Commercial Blinds for Offices

If it is commercial office blinds you’re looking for, there will be certain things to factor into your choice.

At A1 we have a large selection of blinds that are fire retardant, cordless, and anti-microbial. We’ll ensure you make the right choice of blinds for offices across your business, helping you to comply with industry standards where necessary and keep your employees safe! Just ask our team if you’d like to find out more.

You’ll find a wide selection of perfect blinds for offices on our website. Whether it’s a sleek Roller or a smart Venetian, for the home or the workplace, we’re sure you’ll find your perfect style here.
