Do you fit blinds and shutters in splay and box bays?

Yes — both are part of standard bay configurations. Splay bays usually need 3 or 5 panels joined at the angle; square/box bays use 4 panels with corner posts. We measure each on-site before quoting.

Do wooden blinds need much maintenance?

Very little — a soft brush or feather duster every few weeks and a damp cloth on the slats once a year is all most Ashford installs ever need.

Will wooden blinds work on leaded or stained glass?

Yes. We normally use face-fix rather than recess-fix so the dressing sits clear of the glazing — preserves the leaded panes and makes the install reversible.

Will real wood warp in a sunny window?

FSC basswood is very stable, but for very humid rooms (en-suites, kitchens with steam) we recommend faux wood instead.

Ashford Wooden Blinds, Surveyed and Fitted by Our Own Teamfor Bay Windows

If you've been searching for wooden blinds in Ashford (TN23), you've probably already noticed that deep reveals and full-wall bi-folds on new-build estates.

Wooden Blinds for bay windows: what we look for

Bay windows are the trickiest single window type to dress well. Get the panelling, joinery angles or fabric tension wrong and the whole bay looks unfinished — get it right and a bay becomes the focal point of the room.

Each panel or blind is measured individually so the line follows the bay rather than fighting it.
Square, splay and box bays each behave differently — survey decides the right approach.
Lead, sash and uPVC bays all have different fixing constraints to plan for at survey.
Pricing is per panel for shutters and per drop for blinds — we always show a clear per-window breakdown.

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.

Local considerations that affect the quote

deep reveals and full-wall bi-folds on new-build estates — we pick fabrics and frames that handle it.
Child-safe break-away tensioners are fitted as standard on every cord and chain.
We use blackout linings or solid panels where bedroom morning-light is the issue.
Where the room runs hot, thermal-coated fabric makes a measurable difference.
