Do conservatory blinds really help with summer heat?

Yes — thermal-coated pleated and Luxaflex roof blinds reflect a large proportion of solar gain back through the glass. In our experience they typically reduce peak conservatory temperature by 5–8°C in mid-summer.

What's the difference between Luxaflex and other blind brands?

Luxaflex offers patented systems (PowerView motorisation, Duette honeycomb) that aren't available elsewhere. They're our premium tier for Folkestone customers wanting the highest spec.

Can you match a paint colour I already have in the room?

Yes — RAL-matched and Farrow & Ball-matched finishes are available on our painted hardwood shutter ranges at no upcharge.

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 Folkestonefor Conservatories & Bi-Fold Doors

If you've been searching for venetian blinds in Folkestone (CT19), you've probably already noticed that tall sash bays and arched first-floor windows.

Venetian Blinds for conservatories & bi-fold doors: what we look for

Conservatories and bi-fold doors create the largest, most exposed glazing in the home. Without the right blinds the room becomes a sun-trap in summer, an icebox in winter, and almost impossible to use during peak glare.

Pleated and Luxaflex roof systems with thermal-coated fabrics make the biggest single difference to conservatory temperature.
Bi-fold doors need free-hanging, perfect-fit or stack-back systems that don't fight the operating handles.
Linked control or motorisation matters once you're operating four or more drops in one wall.
Side-channel and cassette options keep wind from rattling fabric on exposed seafront and downland properties.
