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.

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

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

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.

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.

New Romney Venetian Blinds, Surveyed and Fitted by Our Own Teamfor Conservatories & Bi-Fold Doors

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

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.

How we keep the standard up

Every survey is done in person — no online questionnaires.
Manufacturing is sequenced by room, not by depot batch.
Fitting is signed off window-by-window with you in the room.
Aftercare calls at 6 weeks and 6 months on every install.

What we've fitted recently around New Romney

venetian blinds for a south-facing New Romney lounge

Glare from afternoon sun was the brief — we specced a tighter louvre and a slightly warmer paint shade than the standard white.

Coastal venetian blinds for an exposed window

Salt and wind ruled out timber — we used an ABS-waterproof range and a side-channel cassette to stop the fabric rattling.

Exposed-beam reveals and irregular openings — every panel was templated on-site, no two windows the same, and finished in a warm off-white to match the limewash.
