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.

Do you fit venetian blinds for landlords and letting agents in Hythe?

Yes — we do a lot of work for Hythe landlords. Quotes are itemised per window and turnaround on standard ranges is typically 2–3 weeks.

Will venetian blinds work on leaded or stained glass?

Yes. We normally use face-fix rather than recess-fix so the dressing sits clear of the glazing — preserves the leaded panes and makes the install reversible.

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 Done Properly in Hythefor Bay Windows

If your Hythe property has south-facing seafront windows that bake in summer afternoons, venetian blinds done off-catalogue will fight you for years. Built to the actual reveal, they just work.

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.

Deep reveals and tall hallways called for a recess-fit, full-height configuration with a mid-rail to break the panel.

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

Conservation-area venetian blinds in Hythe

We went with a face-fix shutter that doesn't touch the original glazing bars — the conservation officer signed it off without issue.
