Blinds

“Blinds are considered as ‘hard window furnishings’ which are primarily made from synthetic materials. They can also include timber, PVC and aluminium. Blinds are sized to fit within the window frame (Inside Mount) or just outside on the architrave (Outside Mount). Blinds can transform your room and work as good insulation to maintain heat and cold.”

Blinds can be made from various block out, sheer or translucent fabrics depending on the requirements and need for functionality. To let in light and see outside, you need to raise the blinds using either a cord, roller, or lifting mechanism including a motor. As the blind lifts, it either bunches or rolls around a rod, depending on the blind’s style.

Blinds are usually a practical option. Blinds are also easy to maintain and clean due to the materials used and the way it is manufactured. They are sized to the window and custom-made to the window frame measurements. Blinds create a modern and sleek look as compared to curtains. Blinds also offer better light control due to their make in slats and rolls etc.

The choice of dressing a window with blinds or curtains will also depend on the location of the window e.g. a window in the kitchen or bathroom is better suited to have blinds due to ease of maintenance and use.

Type of blinds

  • These are made of a single piece of fabric that rolls up and down using a spring mechanism or a cord. They are simple and sleek in design and provide a clean and modern look.

  • These are made of soft fabric that folds into pleats when raised, creating an elegant and classic look. They can be partially or fully raised to control light and privacy.

  • These are horizontal slatted blinds made of metal, wood, or PVC. They can be adjusted to control the amount of light and privacy desired.

  • These are vertical slatted blinds usually made of fabric or PVC. They are ideal for covering large windows or sliding doors and can be tilted to control light and privacy.

  • These consist of large fabric panels that slide horizontally to cover windows or doors. They are perfect for contemporary and minimalistic interiors and can be used as room dividers as well.

  • These are made of pleated fabric that forms honeycomb-like cells, providing excellent insulation and energy efficiency. They come in various opacities and are great for enhancing privacy and reducing outside noise.

  • Zebra blinds, also known as sheer shades or dual-layered shades, are a type of window covering that consists of two layers of fabric with alternating horizontal stripes that can be aligned or overlapped to control light and privacy. They are called "zebra" blinds due to their resemblance to the stripes on a zebra's coat. Zebra blinds provide a sleek and modern look to windows and offer a combination of light filtering and privacy options.

  • These can be any type of blinds mentioned above but come with a motorised mechanism for opening and closing, making them convenient and easy to operate with a remote control or home automation systems.

Process from Check & Measure to Installation

  • Measuring the space is the first step in the process that enables us to propose different solution options to you that would suit the space and of course align with your design idea. There are different measuring methods used by our team depending on the products selected by you.

  • The design step involves working with you to select and propose the right product and solution for the space. For example, in some spaces it would be better to use blinds with sheer curtains and in some spaces it would be better to use double curtains. The team sits with you to go through the options to make sure we get it right.

  • After the design is locked and the solution is agreed upon by you, we start the build phase where your selected option is manufactured to the measurement by our experts in the factory within the agreed timeframe.

  • The final step in the process is installation. Our team reaches out to you to book the installation date and time. Our team installs the selected option (curtains, blinds and/or shutters) to your satisfaction and we sign off on the job to make sure you are happy with the product and installation.
