Wooden 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.
Things Cheriton 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.
Some wooden blinds jobs we've done locally
Snug-room wooden blinds near Cheriton High Street
Movie-night light control was the brief — solid panels bottom, café shutters top, with a blackout roller behind for total dark-out when the projector's on.
Tier-on-tier wooden blinds for a Cheriton sea view
The customer wanted privacy at street level but the view untouched above — tier-on-tier was the answer.
Kitchen wooden blinds for a CT19 family home
Grease and steam ruled out fabric in this run — we went with 50mm faux-wood Venetians and a wipe-clean finish that's still looking new four years on.
The Cheriton difference
- We know Cheriton's housing stock — period, post-war, new-build and everything between.
- We've already done wooden blinds on most street types in CT19.
- Our fitters live within 15 miles of Cheriton — turnaround stays tight.
- Same-day site re-visits during the install if anything needs tweaking.
