Do you fit blinds and shutters in splay and box bays?

Yes — both are part of standard bay configurations. Splay bays usually need 3 or 5 panels joined at the angle; square/box bays use 4 panels with corner posts. We measure each on-site before quoting.

Can day & night blinds be fitted to UPVC windows without drilling?

Yes — perfect-fit frames clip into the bead of the UPVC unit with no drilling, ideal for newer Lyminge properties and tilt-and-turn windows.

Can I see the fabrics or shutter samples before deciding?

Yes. We bring a full sample case to the home visit so you see the materials in your actual lighting, not a showroom.

Are Day & Night blinds blackout?

The standard fabrics are dim-out — closed they reduce light heavily but a small amount comes through the sheer band. Blackout-stripe ranges are available where total dark-out is needed.

Lyminge Day & Night Blinds, Surveyed and Fitted by Our Own Teamfor Bay Windows

Drive five minutes through Lyminge and you'll see why day & night blinds matter here: Elham Valley cottages, Edwardian semis, newer family homes on the Canterbury Road and windows that have settled over decades.

Day & Night Blinds for bay windows: what we look for

Bay windows are the trickiest single window type to dress well. Get the panelling, joinery angles or fabric tension wrong and the whole bay looks unfinished — get it right and a bay becomes the focal point of the room.

Each panel or blind is measured individually so the line follows the bay rather than fighting it.
Square, splay and box bays each behave differently — survey decides the right approach.
Lead, sash and uPVC bays all have different fixing constraints to plan for at survey.
Pricing is per panel for shutters and per drop for blinds — we always show a clear per-window breakdown.

Tall-window day & night blinds on a Lyminge townhouse

Three-metre drops on the staircase needed split panels with a mid-rail so the lower section opens for cleaning without dropping the whole blind.

Cordless operation as standard, blackout fabric, and a side-channel cassette to kill the morning light leak so naps actually happen.

Coastal day & night blinds for an exposed window

Salt and wind ruled out timber — we used an ABS-waterproof range and a side-channel cassette to stop the fabric rattling.

Lyminge-specific points worth knowing

small-pane casements where Roman blinds and café shutters work best — we pick fabrics and frames that handle it.
Child-safe break-away tensioners are fitted as standard on every cord and chain.
We use blackout linings or solid panels where bedroom morning-light is the issue.
Where the room runs hot, thermal-coated fabric makes a measurable difference.
