Roman Blinds Done Properly in Saltwoodfor Period Properties

Our Saltwood customers usually come to us after a high-street chain has quoted them for a standard roman blinds package — and the survey has shown why that doesn't work.

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.

Things Saltwood customers ask about most

  • Whether the property is in a conservation area around Saltwood Castle.
  • Parking access for the fitter — important on tighter streets in Saltwood.
  • Whether existing blinds or fittings need to come down at fit.
  • Floor protection in carpeted rooms — we bring our own dust sheets.

  • A written, itemised quote in your inbox the same day.

Reveal was 12 mm out across the diagonal. We built every panel to the measured drop rather than to the nominal.

A roman blinds install on a Saltwood bay window

We measured the bay panel-by-panel and joined the roman blinds at the angle so the line follows the bay rather than fighting it.
