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.

How much warmth do roller blinds add in Sandgate?

Interlined fabric blinds and solid-panel shutters both add measurable thermal performance — typically a 1–2°C improvement on single-glazed period windows around Sandgate.

Can you fit roller blinds in Sandgate listed buildings?

Yes — and we'll work to listed-building consent requirements. Face-fix systems that touch only the reveal (not the original frame) are usually the approved route.

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.

Roller Blinds in Sandgatefor Bay Windows

We don't bring a catalogue and a tape measure to Sandgate — we bring sample boards, real material swatches and a survey sheet built for Seafront period villas, Encombe villas, modern contemporary builds on the cliffs.

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.
