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.
Things Lyminge customers ask about most
- Whether the property is in a conservation area around Lyminge church.
- Parking access for the fitter — important on tighter streets in Lyminge.
- Whether existing blinds or fittings need to come down at fit.
- Floor protection in carpeted rooms — we bring our own dust sheets.
