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.

Do roman blinds reduce heat loss on single-glazed windows?

Solid plantation shutters and interlined roman blinds both add measurable insulation — typically 30–50% reduction in window-area heat loss on single glazing around Lyminge.

Are there roman 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.

Are Roman blinds good for blocking light?

With a blackout lining they perform almost as well as a shutter or blackout roller. The folded fabric does sit slightly proud of the glass, so a small amount of light may show at the edges in face-fixed installs.

Bespoke Roman Blinds Across Lyminge (CT18)for Bay Windows

Our Lyminge customers usually come to us after a high-street chain has quoted them for a standard roman blinds package — and the survey has shown why that doesn't work.

Roman 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.

Local considerations that affect the quote

Most Elham Valley cottages, Edwardian semis, newer family homes on the Canterbury Road have non-square reveals that catalogue sizes don't cope with.
High-street chains build to nearest-5 mm; we build to the exact survey figure.
Period houses often need face-fix rather than recess-fix — surveyed individually.
Coastal and downland properties need cassette or side-channel options that catalogues skip.
