Perfect Fit Blinds

What do you do if you have just had brand new UPVc windows and doors fitted and you does want holes drilled in them to fit blinds?

Perfect Fit blinds offer an ingenious solution to this problem, smart brackets slot in behind the rubbers on the window and then a clever frame clips to these brackets.

A choice of three types of blinds can then be attached to the frame, Roller Blinds, Aluminium Venetian Blinds and Pleated Blinds, and the huge choice of colours and fabrics available in these ranges give an almost infinite choice of designs for your windows.

As the blinds are secured next to the glass they move with the windows or doors, just imagine, no more need to pull the blind up every time you want to open a window or go out through the door, and no more messy blinds taking up space on the windowsills.

At Surrey Blinds, all of our Perfect Fit Blinds are completely child safe with any tensioning cords running down behind the frame well out of reach.

But, what if your windows are not white UPVc? The frames come in a number of different colours as well as wood effect finishes!

All in all Perfect Fit Blinds really are a Perfect Solution!

Bathroom Blinds

What are the Best Bathroom Blinds?

Roller Blinds are fantastic in Bathrooms

Bathrooms gets the most moisture from steam and splashing to condensation on the mirrors and windows. This moisture can cause potential damage to some types of window dressings.

There are some types of Blinds which can withstand this moisture, some of the best types are as follows;

Shutters

Vinyl Shutters work very well in moist conditions

Many people will be surprised to see Shutters on this list, however there are two shutter ranges which are designed specifically for bathrooms. The Surrey Shutter is an extremely well priced Poly Vinyl shutter. It is available in 3 louvre widths and 3 colours. However, if you need the colour to match with other shutters in your home, there is also the Herm shutter which is available in 5 louvre widths and 6 colours.

Roller Blinds

Roller blinds are often used in bathrooms. The fabrics they are made from can be treated to make them as water resistant as possible. There is a huge selection ranging from moisture resistant to fully waterproof fabrics, in both plain colours and patterned.
As well as the fabrics it is very important that the roller blind tube, brackets and mechanism are also moisture resistant. All the roller blinds we supply have aluminium tubes, Powder coated metal brackets and nylon mechanisms which can withstand even the wettest of settings.

Faux Wood Venetian Blinds

Faux Wood Venetians look elegant in the Bathroom

If you love Wood Venetian Blinds, then a Faux Wood Venetian Blind is a fantastic option. These Poly Vinyl blinds will not warp or twist in moist conditions, unlike traditional wood venetian blinds.
Faux Wood Venetian Blinds are available in a number of different colour options as well as 2 slat widths 38mm and 50mm.

There are, of course, other types of blinds which can be used in Bathrooms . If you would like to book a consultation please give us a call

Kitchen Blinds

“Which are the best Blinds for your Kitchen?”

This is a question I am asked on a regular basis, and of course there are many different options.

Kitchens often don’t have a focal point, so using a bold decorative blind at the window can really transform the room.

This can give the area a new lease of life without the expense of changing the kitchen.

Roller Blinds

Decorative Roller Blinds can look fantastic in the kitchen

A blind which is easy to keep clean is the best idea in the kitchen. So a wipeable Roller blind is a great, cost effective solution.

Some fabrics are impregnated with a chemical which helps prevent cooking smells from clinging to the fabric. These blinds stay fresh and free from smells and are available in a wide choice of colours and patterns.

Venetian Blinds

Many people like venetian blinds which allow privacy as well as letting some light in.  Aluminium venetian blinds are the most cost effective of all the venetian blinds and come in a wide variety of colours. Be warned though, they can be a little difficult to keep clean due to the size of the slats.

Another popular blind for the kitchen is a Wooden Venetian, or, if you are concerned about moisture, a Faux Wood Venetian (this is made of a Poly Vinyl, so you can be assured it will not Warp). Wood and Faux Wood Venetian blinds also come in a variety of painted colours and stains, so can also be used to make a statement in the kitchen.

Shutters

Shutters are becoming one of the most popular window covering solutions.

These can used to great effect in kitchens, again allowing Privacy and light. Shutters really easy to keep clean as the strong slats can be wiped with a damp cloth.

Shutters are available in a range of neutral colours, or, if you are feeling brave, you can have them painted in pretty much any colour you want!

There are, obviously, other blinds you can use and if you would like any further advice you can always book a consultation with one of our expert advisors.

The colours of the moment Soft Pastels

Soft Pastels are the colours of the moment, whether in clothing or home decor.

But how can you put together soft pastel colours without ending up with a sugary, syrupy over sweet look?

The answer is to blend using deep greys or primary colours as  contrast to the soft pastel shades.

If, for instance your walls are a pale pink, then a Dark Grey Roller, Roman or indeed a Grey painted Wood Venetian blind will lend a sophisticated finish to your room, and has the added advantage of blending with multiple colours, should you wish to redecorate your room.

A pale pistachio green roller blind goes very well in a grey and black tiled bathroom. Green is a very calming colour so will be ideal when relaxing in the bath, just remember to make sure the fabric is moisture resistant!
