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.
What to think about for Ashford
- Reveal depth at all four corners — most Ashford period reveals are out by 5–15 mm.
- Existing trickle vents and how the dressing will clear them.
- Window operating direction — top-hung, side-hung, sash — to choose the right fixing.
- Headroom above the frame for cassette systems or stack-back on bi-folds.
What makes the install last
- Stainless and brass fixings only — no plated steel into damp reveals.
- Fabrics matched to room conditions (steam, light, traffic).
- Tracks and headrails sized to the actual drop, not the nearest size up.
- Brackets fixed into substrate, not into render or lath.
