Stanford Venetian Blinds, Surveyed and Fitted by Our Own Team for Period Properties
For the varied property types found in Stanford, from the older homes near Westenhanger Castle to the newer detached builds, Venetian blinds are a versatile choice. Available in aluminium, faux-wood, and real wood, they are cut to exact specifications. This is particularly important for older windows where levels might be off, ensuring the slats operate smoothly and stack evenly, maintaining privacy and light control.
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.
