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 you fit roman blinds the same day as the survey?

No — every roman blinds we install is made-to-measure. Fitting happens once manufacturing is complete, typically 6–10 weeks after survey.

Can you fit roman blinds in Saltwood 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.

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.

Saltwood Roman Blinds, Surveyed and Fitted by Our Own Teamfor Bay Windows

If your Saltwood property has full-height plantation shutters in main living rooms, roman blinds done off-catalogue will fight you for years. Built to the actual reveal, they just 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.
