Versatile Design

Roller blinds are simple yet elegant and enhance the interior of any room in your house. Due to their quality build by our expert craftspeople, our blinds are robust and durable. They function excellently in kitchens and bathrooms, where things can get wet and messy. Roller blinds are one of the best options for a shading solution that can withstand the stresses of daily life.

Roller blinds look right at home in your bedroom and in more intimate settings. Their timeless style and outstanding privacy management ensure you’ll always be comfortable in your personal space.

Aside from providing exceptional shading for residential properties, roller blinds are the perfect choice for businesses. Our blinds enhance the attractiveness of professional settings and ensure offices get the best light regulation possible.

If your Durham City office has a beautiful, south-facing view with lots of sunlight, this can cause glare and sight problems. This is particularly the case for computer screen usage, with bright sunshine making it hard to view monitors. That’s why roller blinds are an ideal solution to cut out direct sunlight, ensuring your office colleagues are comfortable and productive.

Roller blinds are the ideal shading solution that works beautifully in every room, across residential and commercial settings. They complement contemporary and traditional homes and perform excellently in office and factory locations.

Ideal Light & Thermal Regulation

It’s not the best-kept secret that roller blinds cover the entire window or door aperture. This feature enables them to effectively block out light, creating perfect darkness in a room. They’re also aesthetically pleasing with clean, smart lines.

Such a design is ideal for complete privacy and light management. At A1 Blinds, we expertly install our shading solutions in bathrooms and lavatories. You’ll never have to worry again about people looking in from the outside when our roller blinds are down. You gain confidence, comfort, security and peace of mind.

As mentioned, our blinds are the ideal match for bedroom shading. Aside from the obvious benefits of privacy, their light-blocking properties give you a comfortable night’s sleep. That’s because you’ll enjoy complete darkness – no more streetlights, neighbour security lights or other light pollution. Roller blinds are perfectly suited to urban homes in built-up areas where light pollution poses a problem.

Roller blinds have outstanding thermal efficiency qualities. Thanks to being one cut of durable fabric covering your whole window or door aperture, the material creates an effective thermal barrier that retains more warmth in your Durham City home.

This enables you to rely less on your central heating during winter, saving you money on your energy bills. Furthermore, this lowers your carbon footprint – a winning combination for your bottom line and the environment.

Heat regulation works equally effectively in summer. When it gets too hot, pull down your roller blinds and create shade. The opaque material blocks out sunlight and gives you a cooler room. You’ll be more comfortable and able to chill out inside in those hot months.

Case Study: Bradley Hall Head Office

Case Study: Bradley Hall Head Office

Custom Branded Roller Blinds for Bradley Hall’s Grey Street HQ

Client: Bradley Hall
Location: Grey Street, Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Commercial Property
Scope: Custom Branded and Non-Branded Roller Blinds Across Two Floors
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time, Within 2 Weeks

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install a combination of branded and non-branded roller blinds for Bradley Hall’s stunning new head office on Newcastle’s iconic Grey Street. The blinds not only enhance the aesthetic of the new space, but also provide practical year-round comfort.


What the Client Needed

As the building is listed, Bradley Hall were unable to use external signage to display their brand identity. They needed an interior solution that would subtly represent their brand in a stylish, professional way, while still providing effective solar shading and heat retention.


The Challenge

  • No external signage permitted due to the heritage status of the building.
  • No parking for unloading equipment.
  • 4-metre-high windows requiring specialist ladder access.
  • Narrow spiral staircases, making it difficult to manoeuvre materials without damaging freshly decorated walls and doors.

The client also required a rapid turnaround ahead of moving into their new space.


How We Overcame It

Our team designed and manufactured a blend of branded and non-branded roller blinds, ensuring a cohesive look across two floors. The installation required exceptional care and expertise to work safely within the constraints of a heritage building.

Despite the logistical hurdles, we delivered the entire project from initial enquiry to completion in under 2 weeks, meeting Bradley Hall’s deadlines without compromising on quality.


The Result

The finished installation delivered:

  • Stylish integration of Bradley Hall’s branding into the new office.
  • Effective shading and thermal control for year-round comfort.
  • Seamless delivery within a limited timeframe.
  • A high-quality installation, despite the challenges of restricted access and building constraints.

Client Feedback

“Huge thanks to you and the team Kevin! Fantastic service from start to finish, quick turnaround and quality product and installation. They look great!”

– Sharon Boyd, Chief Operating Officer, Bradley Hall North East / Yorkshire


The Bigger Picture

This project demonstrates our ability to combine branding, design, and practicality, even in heritage or conservation-area buildings where signage is restricted. It also underlines our expertise in overcoming complex site challenges and delivering under tight time pressures.

Case Study: Newcastle Airport Control Tower

40 Custom Tension Pleated Blinds for Newcastle Airport Control Tower

Client: Newcastle International Airport
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne
Sector: Aviation – Air Traffic Control
Scope: 40 Bespoke Tension Pleated Blinds
Project Status: Delivered to Spec, On Time

The Project

We were commissioned to design and install 40 custom tension pleated blinds for Newcastle International Airport’s Air Traffic Control Tower. This wasn’t a straightforward job – the tower’s unique architecture and operational restrictions made it one of the most complex installations we’ve ever delivered.


What the Client Needed

The brief was simple but critical: shading and light control in an environment where visibility is paramount. The blinds needed to perform flawlessly to reduce glare, enhance comfort, and maintain clear sightlines for air traffic controllers at all times.


The Challenge

The tower’s design created a unique technical challenge: the windows are narrower at the top than the bottom. This meant the blinds had to operate in reverse, raising issues with tension and stability. Getting them to stay in place was no small feat.


How We Overcame It

Our team engineered a bespoke solution using:

  • Maximum tension throughout each blind system
  • Reinforced top bars for durability
  • Discreet magnetic strips to keep blinds secure

We worked closely with the client throughout, being completely transparent about the technical hurdles. To build confidence, we produced working samples that were tested and signed off before full manufacture began.


Working in a Live Air Traffic Control Tower

This wasn’t just a technical project – it was also about precision planning. Working in one of the UK’s busiest control towers meant strict security measures:

  • All staff were vetted and security checked
  • Passports had to be presented at each entry
  • Access was tightly restricted and visits limited

To meet these requirements, we planned every step of the installation around an agreed programme of works, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and minimal disruption to airport operations.


The Result

The new blinds have transformed the tower environment, delivering:

✅ Glare reduction
✅ Improved visibility for controllers
✅ Greater comfort in a high-pressure workplace

The client praised not only the quality of the finished product but also our communication, professionalism, and how smoothly the installation was managed.


The Bigger Picture

This project highlights our ability to deliver bespoke blind solutions for even the most complex environments. From innovative design to meticulous project management, we can adapt to buildings where standard systems simply won’t work.


Ready for the Next One

If you’ve got a project that demands a tailored shading solution – whether it’s an airport, a commercial office, or a uniquely shaped building – we’ve got the expertise to deliver.

Get in touch with our team today to discuss how we can design, manufacture, and install blinds that meet your exact requirements.
