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.

Dymchurch-specific points worth knowing
- Most Seafront bungalows, holiday lets, mid-century chalets along the High Street 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.

Glare on screens was killing productivity. We picked a dim-out fabric with a cassette headrail so the blind closes flush against the reveal — no light spill at the edges.

Grease and steam ruled out fabric in this run — we went with 50mm faux-wood Venetians and a wipe-clean finish that's still looking new four years on.

Three-metre drops on the staircase needed split panels with a mid-rail so the lower section opens for cleaning without dropping the whole blind.
