Premium Roman Blinds Fitted Across Alkham for Period Properties
In Alkham's characterful period properties, from flint cottages to larger country houses, soft fabric Roman blinds provide an elegant window dressing. Given that period window frames, particularly leaded casements, often exhibit slight imperfections, we ensure our Roman blinds are made to measure precisely. This bespoke approach guarantees they hang correctly, accommodating any unevenness in the reveal and enhancing the room's aesthetic.
Roman Blinds for period properties: what we look for
Period properties almost never have square reveals. Two-hundred-year-old sashes, leaded casements and timber casements all settle, twist and wear over time — and a window dressing built to a 'standard' size will always show it.
- Every panel and drop is measured individually — most period reveals are out by 5–15 mm corner to corner.
- Café-style shutters and tier-on-tier configurations protect the original sightline in heritage properties.
- Listed-building consent is rarely required for interior fittings, but we'll provide the technical detail if you need to consult.
- Lead-light and stained-glass windows usually call for face-fix solutions that don't touch the original glazing bars.

About our roman blinds
Roman blinds give the soft, fabric look of a dressed window with the precision of a blind. They're our most popular choice for living rooms and master bedrooms where the window dressing needs to feel like part of the furniture, not just a covering.
Every Roman is hand-made: fabric is cut, lined and rod-pocketed in the workroom, then mounted onto an aluminium headrail with a smooth chain operation. Choose from blackout linings for bedrooms or interlining for an extra-luxurious finish.
