Blinds, shutters & curtains in Walsall

Walsall’s homes are, for the most part, practical family houses. There are Victorian and Edwardian terraces close to the town centre, interwar and postwar semis across Bloxwich, Rushall and Pelsall, roomier suburban homes in Aldridge and Streetly, and newer estates in between. Many now have uPVC double glazing, and the rooms that work hardest, the kitchen, the bathroom and the children’s bedrooms, need blinds that are easy to live with. Here’s how we’d solve the problems that come up most in homes like these.

You’d rather not drill into your window frames

If you’ve had new uPVC windows put in, or you’ve moved into a newer house, the last thing you want is screw holes in pristine white frames. Perfect Fit blinds clip into the window frame with no drilling at all. The blind sits flat against the glass and moves with the window when you open it, so it suits tilt-and-turn windows as well as standard casements. Because there’s no cord or chain hanging loose, they’re a tidy choice for children’s rooms too.

The kitchen window steams up

In a lot of semis the kitchen window sits right above the sink, which means steam, splashes and greasy fingers. Real wood and some fabrics don’t enjoy that for long. A faux wood Venetian blind gives you the look of timber slats, but it won’t warp in the damp and it wipes clean easily. Tilt the slats up for privacy while still letting the light in over the washing-up.

For bathrooms, especially small ones with a shower over the bath, waterproof blinds are made for constant moisture and won’t go mouldy or sag.

The front room faces the road

Terraced houses near the town centre, and many semis on through-roads, have a front window that looks straight out onto passing traffic and pavements. Day and night blinds are a clever fix. They have alternating sheer and solid bands: line them up for daylight with a bit of privacy, or offset them to close the blind completely. It’s one blind doing the job that used to take a net curtain and a pair of curtains.

The little ones won’t settle

The box room over the stairs in an interwar or postwar semi is often the nursery or a child’s bedroom, and it tends to have a small, simple window. A roller blind in a blackout or dim-out fabric, fitted inside the recess, is an easy way to make it darker. Spring-assisted cordless versions have no chains or cords at all. Every blind we supply meets the UK child-safety standard, BS EN 13120.
