Bespoke Wooden Blinds Across Sandgate (CT20)for Period Properties
We don't bring a catalogue and a tape measure to Sandgate — we bring sample boards, real material swatches and a survey sheet built for Seafront period villas, Encombe villas, modern contemporary builds on the cliffs.
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.

The customer wanted privacy at street level but the view untouched above — tier-on-tier was the answer.
wooden blinds for a Sandgate loft conversion
Velux-style roof windows on a steep pitch needed a guided side-rail blind so the fabric stays taut at any angle.

We went face-fix with a removable bracket system so nothing touches the original frame — fully reversible for any future heritage review.
What to think about for Sandgate
- sea-view first-floor windows where tier-on-tier shutters preserve the view — 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.
