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.

What's the best wooden blinds option for a rented Hawkinge property?

If the tenancy allows fixings, perfect-fit blinds clip into uPVC beads with no drilling — ideal for landlords. For freehold lets we usually recommend our 5-year warrantied roller or shutter ranges.

How are wooden blinds cleaned and maintained?

Most need only a soft brush, microfibre cloth, or vacuum-brush attachment monthly. Fabric blinds can be spot-cleaned; shutters and wooden blinds wipe down with a barely-damp cloth.

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.

Premium Wooden Blinds Fitted Across Hawkingefor Bay Windows

From the seafront down to the back streets of Hawkinge, wooden blinds jobs share one trait: every window deserves to be measured on its own terms.

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.

Things Hawkinge customers ask about most

ABS-waterproof shutter ranges for bathrooms, utility rooms and coastal exposures.
Real hardwood for living rooms and bedrooms where the warmth of timber matters.
Moisture-stable faux wood for kitchens — handles steam without warping.
Acrylic-coated thermal fabrics for conservatories and south-facing rooms.

The non-negotiables, every Hawkinge job

We never quote without measuring.
We never substitute a fabric or finish without showing you first.
We never leave site until every blind or shutter is operated and checked.
We never charge for site visits during the warranty period.

Glare on screens was killing productivity. We picked a dim-out fabric with a cassette headrail so the blind closes flush against the reveal — no light spill at the edges.
