Options

  • Hi,

    I used this company for slats only, and got very good service, you can request fabric sample before ordering.

    There is a slight issue with rollers in a conservatory. When you say 'perfect fit' I guess you mean, made to measure.

    1) Roller Blind brackets use up approx 25mm of space when end to end fit is required (Ie down one side), this means a gap of up to 50mm between fabric of one blind and the next.
    2) The fabric then stands approx 45mm off the frame/glass, making the gap seem bigger.
    3) Rollers often catch the handles when operated.
    4) On a victorian shape end , the angle of the blinds meeting each other make the gap issue even greater. This effects privacy and shade.
    5) Verticals> best option for variations in shade and privacy, having turn, open or closed positioned. They can alos open to the left, right or centrally, with options on opertaion cord position. Down side is they take up the cill, so no ornaments etc: Upside, cheap.

    Pleated fabric blinds, good but expensive
    Venetians, collect dust though great for privacy.
