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.

Pitched glazing and a south-west aspect — we specified pleated honeycomb with a thermal-coated rear face to drop the room temperature by ~6°C in peak sun.
Whole-house roman blinds on a CT19 renovation
We surveyed every window in one visit, sequenced the manufacture by room and fitted across two days with one fitter — no disruption to the rest of the build.

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.
