Many of our blinds, shutters and awnings can be fully customised to suit virtually any windows. We start the process by coming to your location to perform detailed measurements of every window, and then we can give you a more detailed presentation of the products we think are best for your home. We have products that can accommodate virtually any windows, so we have you covered.

There are several factors that go into how long it takes to perform an installation, including the products you’ve chosen, the number of shutters and panels, as well as the size and shape of your windows. For a small window, shutters can generally be installed within an hour. For double windows, triple windows, bay windows and other more elaborate windows, it can take up to four hours or more to install. You’ll be given a timeline for installation when you choose your shutters and your measurements are taken.

Our awnings are made from heavy-duty, weather-resistant canvas that resists mould, mildew and fading. With proper maintenance, canvas awnings can last for as many as 15 years from the time they are installed. This will partly depend on the exact type of awning you choose.

An inside mount means the blinds are mounted inside the actual window frame, and the blinds will sit flush with the surrounding walls. An outside mount means the blinds are mounted on the outside of the window frame and will stick out a little from the wall. The primary differences are aesthetics, as both mounts will give you different looks. If you are buying blinds for heat or light protection, an outside mount can provide more thorough coverage for this purpose.
