Conservatory Blinds
Custom-made conservatory blinds improve thermal efficiency and light control in glass-rich environments. Designed for complex shapes like apex windows, these blinds combine precision engineering with premium fabrics. Ideal for year-round comfort, they reduce glare and protect interiors from sun damage while maintaining aesthetic harmony with architectural designs.
Roof Lantern Blinds
Wire-free roof lantern blinds feature patented TESS 660 SmartZip and ClearVue systems. These solutions eliminate unsightly guide wires while providing seamless shading for modern glass extensions. Thermal-coated fabrics regulate temperature, keeping spaces cool in summer and warm in winter. Available in motorised and smart-home integrated options for enhanced convenience.
Motorised Blinds
Motorised blinds integrate Somfy lithium-ion battery systems and smart home automation. Controlled via remote, voice activation, or app, these blinds offer effortless operation for conservatories and lanterns. The systems support Alexa, Google Home, and Crestron compatibility, ensuring seamless integration with contemporary living environments while maintaining reliability and quiet operation.
Plantation Shutters
Full-height and tier-on-tier plantation shutters provide adjustable light control and enhanced insulation. Crafted from sustainably sourced hardwood or MDF, these shutters combine durability with aesthetic appeal. Engineered cores prevent warping, while mortice-and-tenon joints ensure structural integrity. Available in multiple finishes and slat widths to suit traditional or modern interiors.
Window Blinds
Made-to-measure window blinds include pleated, roller, and vertical styles for conservatory sides and standard windows. Thermal-backed fabrics improve energy efficiency, while motorised options enable remote control operation. The range features Allusion, Vision, and Tri-Shade designs that balance privacy with natural light management for residential and commercial spaces.
