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.

How much warmth do venetian blinds add in Hawkinge?

Interlined fabric blinds and solid-panel shutters both add measurable thermal performance — typically a 1–2°C improvement on single-glazed period windows around Hawkinge.

Can you fit venetian blinds in Hawkinge listed buildings?

Yes — and we'll work to listed-building consent requirements. Face-fix systems that touch only the reveal (not the original frame) are usually the approved route.

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.

Hawkinge Venetian Blinds, Surveyed and Fitted by Our Own Teamfor Bay Windows

After enough venetian blinds installs around the Battle of Britain Memorial, you start to see the patterns — windows that have moved, sashes that fight the recess, reveals nobody else wants to measure.

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.
