Sloping Vertical Blind for Home Extension in Winkfield

This Home Extension was a bit of a challenge to fit blinds to because of the design of the window. In the end we fitted three blinds to get the best coverage over the glass. The main rectangular part of the window has a standard rectangle vertical blind. The sloping section is made as a separate blind. You can see that each louvre is a different length. We cut these by hand as our vertical cutting jig can’t cope with all the different lengths.

The small end right hand section of the window was done separately due to the way the door was positioned in the glass frames. The fabric was an 89mm (3.5″) jacquard fabric called Chenille Cream and gives good shade from the sun but doesn’t make the room too dark.

All the blinds draw back and tilt although in daily use I am sure only the main blind is operated. The angle of this sloping vertical blind is quite small. For really steep angles we can supply special hangers that have a universal joint to accomodate the angle.

Vertical Blinds at Highwood Primary School Woodley

We fitted these Vertical blinds to 5 rooms at Highwood Primary School, Woodley last week. They have had a number of rooms refurbished and we were putting in one of the last elements of the refurb with these blinds.

These are in 127mm Vertical Fabric (5″) in Certex Dark Green. The headrail is our Monarch Headrail which is superb in heavy duty commercial premises such as schools, colleges and offices.

One of the pictures shows how you can have louvres of different length on one blind. This accomodated the kitchen work counter in the meeting room.

The fixing was top fix into plasterboard ceiling. We used special metal plasterboard fixing plugs to ensure an effective and long lasting fit.

Blackout Curtains Fitted at St John’s Beaumont School, Windsor

These curtains were specially commisioned by The Bursar at St John’s Beaumont School Windsor. They are hung on a made to measure Silent Gliss Curtain Track that is 5700mm long. The Silent Gliss track is the premier curtain track we use for heavy duty curtain installations such as this one. The operation is very smooth indeed and they will last for many years. The track is also curved to match the arc of the wall. There is a control cord at each end to control the curtains seperately.

The fabric used is Lanvera Black which is inherently flame retardant. The fabric is very dense and provides a near blackout for the Hoy Music Room. This is in time for the Christamas Productions being held there later this week. The fabric is one of the specialist fabrics Howards Blinds offer to schools, colleges and offices. They are high performance and very stable. They are also inherently flame retardant which means that they do not lose this property when they are dry cleaned.
