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.

Are there roller blinds ranges that suit conservatories?

Yes — Luxaflex pleated and roof systems are designed for them. Thermal-coated fabrics reduce peak summer temperature by 5–8°C in our experience.

Will roller blinds work on leaded or stained glass?

Yes. We normally use face-fix rather than recess-fix so the dressing sits clear of the glazing — preserves the leaded panes and makes the install reversible.

What fabric should I choose for a bedroom?

A blackout fabric in a cassette headrail gives the darkest result, with side channels to seal the edges if total dark-out is essential.

Premium Roller Blinds Fitted Across Saltwoodfor Bay Windows

Saltwood is one of the patches we cover most often, and roller blinds here come with their own quirks. The big one: full-height plantation shutters in main living rooms.

Roller 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.

How we keep the standard up

Every survey is done in person — no online questionnaires.
Manufacturing is sequenced by room, not by depot batch.
Fitting is signed off window-by-window with you in the room.
Aftercare calls at 6 weeks and 6 months on every install.

On a Saltwood survey, this is what we look at

Catalogue sizing forced into a non-square reveal — gaps you can see daylight through.
Wrong fixing into render or lath-and-plaster — brackets pull within months.
Cord-and-chain installs without break-away tensioners — fails current child-safety regs.
Recess-fit on listed windows where face-fix was the right call — heritage issue waiting to happen.
