Blinds, shutters & curtains in Tamworth

Tamworth grew quickly from the 1960s onwards, when it took in many families moving out from Birmingham, and whole neighbourhoods of new homes went up in the space of a few decades. Building has carried on ever since. Today the town’s housing runs from older streets near the centre, through estates from every decade since, to new developments on the edge of town.

Most of those homes share a few things: uPVC windows, family bedrooms, a living room that faces the street and doors out to the garden. So rather than a tour of architectural styles, this page starts where a lot of Tamworth households start: with sleep.

Bedrooms that stay dark

Estate homes often have bedroom windows facing straight onto a street lamp or a neighbour’s security light, and on summer mornings the sun is up long before anyone wants to be. A blackout blind uses a fully light-blocking fabric, which makes a real difference in a nursery, a teenager’s room or for anyone who works shifts.

The way it’s fitted counts too. A blind hung in the recess can let a thin line of light creep round the sides. A Perfect Fit blind avoids most of that, because its fabric runs inside a slim frame attached to the window itself, close to the glass. The frame clips onto the uPVC rather than being screwed into it, and the whole blind tilts open with the window.

Living rooms and patio doors

Many homes built during Tamworth’s expansion have a wide front window and sliding patio doors at the back. They need different things.

The front window

A front room facing the street needs privacy without losing daylight. Day and night blinds manage both with one blind. Their fabric alternates bands of sheer voile and solid material; set the sheer bands together and the room is bright but screened, or move the solid bands into line when you want it closed.

The patio doors

For wide sliding doors, vertical blinds are the practical choice. The individual vanes swivel to steer sunlight off the TV screen, and the whole blind gathers neatly at one side so you can walk straight out to the garden. The vanes wipe clean, too, which helps in a busy family home.

Around Tamworth

We cover every part of B77, B78 and B79. A few notes on the different parts of town:

• Amington, on the north-eastern side of town, is mostly estates of family homes from several decades, which suit the uPVC-friendly options above.
• Wilnecote and Glascote mix older streets with later estates, so recess depths and window sizes vary more from house to house.
• Fazeley sits just outside the town, with its own mix of older and newer homes.
• Polesworth, over the border in Warwickshire, has village houses alongside newer builds. It’s part of the same B78 postcode, and we’re happy to visit.
