Do you fit blinds and shutters in splay and box bays?

Yes — both are part of standard bay configurations. Splay bays usually need 3 or 5 panels joined at the angle; square/box bays use 4 panels with corner posts. We measure each on-site before quoting.

What's the warranty on the install?

5 years on the installation work and a lifetime guarantee on the product itself for plantation shutters. Blinds carry the manufacturer's warranty plus our 5-year install warranty.

Do you handle awkward shapes like arched or octagonal windows?

Yes. We've cut shutters to fit arches, octagons, sloped reveals and stair-window angles across Folkestone. Anything geometric, we'll template on the survey.

Faux wood or real wood — which should I choose?

If the room sees steam or moisture (kitchen, bathroom, utility) always go faux. For dry rooms where the look matters most, real wood gives a richer finish.

Venetian Blinds for bay windows: what we look for

Bay windows are the trickiest single window type to dress well. Get the panelling, joinery angles or fabric tension wrong and the whole bay looks unfinished — get it right and a bay becomes the focal point of the room.

Each panel or blind is measured individually so the line follows the bay rather than fighting it.
Square, splay and box bays each behave differently — survey decides the right approach.
Lead, sash and uPVC bays all have different fixing constraints to plan for at survey.
Pricing is per panel for shutters and per drop for blinds — we always show a clear per-window breakdown.
