We work alongside some of the best companies in the industry and have a large selection of fabrics for you to choose from, so you are sure to find something that inspires you and accentuates your home or business.
Allusion Blinds
Allusion blinds are a sophisticated and innovative window treatment that combines the best features of traditional blinds and curtains. They offer the elegance and soft drapery look of curtains with the versatile light control and privacy of blinds. Allusion blinds are designed with vertical fabric vanes that can be adjusted to let in varying amounts of light, creating a unique ambiance in any room. The sheer fabric allows natural light to filter through while still offering a level of privacy, making these blinds an excellent choice for living rooms, dining rooms, and other communal spaces where both light and privacy are desired.
One of the standout benefits of Allusion blinds is their versatility in light control. The vertical fabric vanes can be fully opened to allow maximum light into the room or closed to darken the space. Additionally, the vanes can be rotated to diffuse the light, reducing glare and creating a softer, more comfortable atmosphere. This level of control is particularly useful in rooms that receive direct sunlight, as it helps protect furniture and flooring from UV damage while still providing a pleasant, well-lit environment.
In terms of aesthetics, Allusion blinds add a touch of modern elegance to any home. They come in a variety of colors and fabrics, allowing homeowners to match the blinds to their existing decor seamlessly. The sleek design and flowing fabric create a luxurious look that can enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of a room. Moreover, the blinds can be customized to fit large windows and sliding doors, providing a cohesive and stylish solution for covering expansive glass areas without compromising on style.
Maintenance and ease of use are additional advantages of Allusion blinds. Unlike traditional curtains that may require frequent washing, these blinds are relatively low-maintenance and can be cleaned with a simple dusting or light vacuuming. They are also designed for smooth operation, often incorporating a wand or remote control for easy adjustment. This user-friendly feature makes Allusion blinds an ideal choice for homeowners who want a stylish, functional, and easy-to-maintain window treatment that enhances both the look and comfort of their home.
Blind Screens
Blind screens, often referred to as roller screens or solar shades, are an increasingly popular window treatment option known for their sleek design and practical benefits. These blinds are made from a specialized fabric that filters and diffuses natural light while reducing glare and protecting interior furnishings from harmful UV rays. Unlike traditional blinds, blind screens allow a view to the outside while maintaining privacy and reducing the sun's intensity, whilst also being able to block light encroaching into the room from the outside, this is a perfect solution for an almost 100% blackout option. This makes them ideal for living spaces where natural light is desired, whilst also giving the option of total room darkening.
One of the primary advantages of blind screens is their energy efficiency. By effectively managing the amount of heat and sunlight that enters a room, these screens can significantly reduce cooling costs during the hot months. The fabric used in blind screens can block up to 95% of UV radiation, which helps in keeping indoor temperatures stable and reduces the reliance on air conditioning. This not only saves money on energy bills but also contributes to a more environmentally friendly home by lowering energy consumption.
In addition to their functional benefits, blind screens offer a modern and minimalist aesthetic that complements various interior design styles. Available in a wide range of colors, textures, and openness levels, they can be tailored to fit the specific needs and tastes of any homeowner. The clean lines and unobtrusive design of blind screens make them a versatile choice for any room, from the kitchen to the office, enhancing the overall look without overpowering the decor. Their ability to blend seamlessly with the window frame adds to the sleek, contemporary feel they bring to a space.
Maintenance and durability are other notable benefits of blind screens. Made from high-quality, durable materials, these blinds are designed to withstand daily wear and tear while maintaining their appearance over time. They are easy to clean, often requiring just a quick wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. This low-maintenance aspect makes blind screens a practical choice for busy households. Additionally, their simple mechanism for raising and lowering ensures smooth operation, contributing to their long-lasting appeal and functionality.
Roller Blinds
Roller blinds are a popular and versatile window treatment option that offers both functionality and style. They consist of a single piece of fabric that rolls up and down around a cylindrical tube, allowing you to control the room's light, privacy, and insulation.
Roller blinds allow you to control the amount of natural light entering a room. By adjusting the height of the blind, you can let in full sunlight, block it out entirely, or create a soft, diffused light effect. Roller blinds are available in blackout materials, which completely block out light. These are ideal for bedrooms, media rooms, or any space where you need complete darkness.
When fully lowered, roller blinds provide complete window coverage, ensuring privacy. This makes them an excellent choice for bedrooms, bathrooms, or any room where privacy is a concern. Sheer or semi-transparent roller blinds are available for rooms where you want to maintain some level of privacy while still allowing light to filter through. These offer a balance between light and privacy.
Roller blinds have a simple, clean design that suits various interior styles, from modern to traditional. When not in use, they roll up neatly into a compact tube, leaving the window unobstructed. They come in a wide range of fabrics, colours, patterns, and textures, allowing you to customise them to match your decor. Whether you prefer bold colours, subtle neutrals, or eye-catching patterns, there's a roller blind to suit your taste. Some roller blinds can be customised with printed designs, making them a unique feature in your home or office.
When rolled up, roller blinds take up minimal space, making them an excellent choice for rooms with limited space or where you want a window treatment that doesn’t intrude into the room. They can be easily layered with other window treatments, such as curtains or Roman blinds, to create a more elaborate window design or enhance insulation.
Roller blinds are easy to operate. They are usually controlled by a cord or chain that allows you to raise or lower the blind to the desired height. Many roller blinds are available with cordless or motorised options, reducing the risk of accidents in homes with children or pets.
Roller blinds can help improve energy efficiency in your home by providing an additional layer of insulation. In colder months, they can reduce heat loss through windows; in warmer months, they can help keep rooms cooler by blocking out the sun. Some roller blinds are made from thermal fabrics designed specifically to enhance insulation, which can contribute to lower energy bills.
Roller blinds are generally low maintenance and easy to clean. Most can be wiped down with a damp cloth or lightly vacuumed to remove dust.
The materials used in roller blinds are typically durable and resistant to fading, making them a long-lasting window treatment option.
Roller blinds are versatile and can be used in any room of the house, including kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. Their simplicity and variety of design options make them adaptable to different spaces. They are also popular in commercial settings, such as offices, schools, and retail spaces, where they provide a professional look while offering practical benefits like light control and privacy.
Roller blinds can be custom-made to fit any window size, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal functionality. Dual roller blinds feature two layers of fabric on the same window, such as a blackout layer and a sheer layer, allowing you to switch between different levels of light and privacy with ease.
Depending on the material, roller blinds can help reduce outside noise, making them a good choice for bedrooms, offices, or any space where you want to minimise sound disturbances.
Their sleek design, ease of use, and wide range of customisation options make them popular for residential and commercial spaces.
Panel Blinds
Panel blinds consist of wide, flat fabric panels that typically measure between 19 and 47 inches in width. These panels hang vertically and are attached to a multi-channel track system at the top, allowing them to slide horizontally. The track can be ceiling or wall-mounted. Depending on the design, the panels can slide open to one side or be split to open from the centre.
Panel blinds are ideal for covering wide expanses of glass, such as patio doors, sliding glass doors, or large windows. Their large panels provide ample coverage and a sleek appearance. They can also be used as room dividers to create separate areas within a larger space, particularly useful in open-plan homes or offices. Panel blinds can also serve as an alternative to traditional closet doors, offering a modern look and easy access.
Panel blinds offer a clean, modern aesthetic that complements contemporary interiors. The large, flat panels create a minimalist and streamlined appearance.
They are available in various fabrics, colours, and patterns, allowing you to customise them to match your interior decor. Options include translucent fabrics for a light, airy feel or blackout materials for privacy and light control. You can mix and match panel materials to create a unique look or coordinate with other window treatments in the room.
Panel blinds allow you to control the amount of light entering a room by adjusting the position of the panels. Depending on the material, they can provide anything from soft, diffused light to complete darkness. When closed, the wide panels offer full coverage, ensuring privacy. The level of privacy can also be adjusted by selecting materials with varying degrees of opacity. The sliding mechanism makes panel blinds easy to operate, even for large installations. Unlike traditional curtains that require ample space to drape, panel blinds move horizontally along the track and stack neatly to one side, taking up minimal space when open.
Panel blinds are generally easy to maintain. Depending on the fabric, they can be vacuumed, wiped down, or removed for more thorough cleaning.
The materials used in panel blinds are typically durable and designed to withstand daily use, making them a long-lasting window treatment option.
Panel blinds can be custom-made to fit your specific window or door dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless operation.
You can choose the number of panels and how they open (stacking to one side or splitting in the middle) to suit your space and preferences.
Depending on the material, panel blinds can provide some degree of insulation, helping to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This can contribute to energy savings by reducing the need for heating and cooling.
Panel blinds are versatile and suitable for both residential and commercial spaces, including offices, living rooms, bedrooms, and conference rooms.
