Old Romney Venetian Blinds, Surveyed and Fitted by Our Own Team for Period Properties
In Old Romney, the charm of period properties often comes with the practical challenge of non-uniform window openings. Venetian blinds, whether in aluminium, faux-wood, or real-wood, are cut and installed to precisely match these unique dimensions. This bespoke approach ensures a snug fit for two-hundred-year-old sashes or characterful casements, allowing for effective light control without highlighting any irregularities in the surrounds of historic homes near the Rose & Crown.
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.

About our venetian blinds
Venetians give you the most precise light control of any blind. A small tilt of the wand changes the room from full bright to softly diffused without ever fully closing the blind, which makes them a long-time favourite for kitchens, studies and home offices.
Faux-wood Venetians are our most popular range — they handle steam and humidity far better than real timber, and look almost identical once fitted. For living rooms and bedrooms we more often suggest 50mm real-wood slats for the warmer, more natural finish.
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.
