Venetian Blinds for period properties: what we look for
Period properties almost never have square reveals. Two-hundred-year-old sashes, leaded casements and timber casements all settle, twist and wear over time — and a window dressing built to a 'standard' size will always show it.
- Every panel and drop is measured individually — most period reveals are out by 5–15 mm corner to corner.
- Café-style shutters and tier-on-tier configurations protect the original sightline in heritage properties.
- Listed-building consent is rarely required for interior fittings, but we'll provide the technical detail if you need to consult.
- Lead-light and stained-glass windows usually call for face-fix solutions that don't touch the original glazing bars.
Before you book a survey in Dymchurch
- Survey, manufacture, fitting and disposal of existing dressings.
- All brackets, fixings and tensioners — nothing added on at fit.
- Sample visit and any colour-match work on painted ranges.
- 5-year install warranty and the product warranty in writing.

Deep reveals and tall hallways called for a recess-fit, full-height configuration with a mid-rail to break the panel.
What makes the install last
- Stainless and brass fixings only — no plated steel into damp reveals.
- Fabrics matched to room conditions (steam, light, traffic).
- Tracks and headrails sized to the actual drop, not the nearest size up.
- Brackets fixed into substrate, not into render or lath.
