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 you take down existing blinds, tracks or fittings?

Yes. We bring our own dust sheets, take old dressings down, and dispose of them at no extra charge if you don't want them.

Do you handle awkward shapes like arched or octagonal windows?

Yes. We've cut shutters to fit arches, octagons, sloped reveals and stair-window angles across Lyminge. Anything geometric, we'll template on the survey.

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.

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

Lyminge is one of the patches we cover most often, and wooden blinds here come with their own quirks. The big one: small-pane casements where Roman blinds and café shutters work best.

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.

What we've fitted recently around Lyminge

Coastal wooden blinds for an exposed window

Salt and wind ruled out timber — we used an ABS-waterproof range and a side-channel cassette to stop the fabric rattling.

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.

Salt and rapid guest turnover — we used ABS-waterproof shutters and washable rollers that the cleaners can sanitise between bookings.

Local considerations that affect the quote

How long the wooden blinds will last — we guarantee the product for life and the install for 5 years.
What the lead time is — typically 6–10 weeks from order to fit for wooden blinds.
Whether the price includes fitting and disposal of the old dressings (it does).
How the colour or fabric will look in their actual room rather than a showroom.
