I am interested in knowing if you are producing roller blinds.. which would look better in my listed georgian home. Or is it possible to buy any on the material to make my own?

I would like an example of a window size when the blind is folded, what is the drop of the blind when it is folded; in other words, how bulky are they when folded; how much of the window is obscured?

Some prices and a brochure would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,

Hi Gay,
You can buy the blinds now. They are made to measure so if you’d like to email me the details I can talk through the issues for your particular windows & give you an estimate of the costs.

Your blinds would be the perfect solution to our heat problem. We have a very exposed 3 storey corner house in Muswell Hill, this is under a conservation area. Both the lounge and main bedroom each have 6 ‘georgian’ style windows. Build in 1910, the panes of glass were broken by bomb damage and the glass is very thin. (There are over 300 panes of glass).
Please let me know when you plan to retail the blinds.

Mike, I have received your email & will send through the details. The widest blind that has been fitted was 2.4m wide in the US. Hope this helps.

I am very interested in fitting these blinds to very large windows in a 1908 house of architectural merit.

Please could you send me technical info and drawings and fitting instructions, including the max dimensions that can be specified

Hi Katy,

Our careers seems to be taking similar courses with a similar but different product. I identified a need to plug the large gap in the heat retention envelope which the environmental experts seem to totally ignore.
Example: Sustainable Energy Ireland have a budget running into millions of euro’s . They will give you a grant to line your walls with polyisoblahblah to attain a u value of .2 , totally ignoring the fact that in that wall is a large hole with a u value of 2.6 . If the window is the same Sq. Footage as the wall that are achieving an average u value of 1.4. I have tried to show them my product but they are not interested. Why, because they are a state body and my product is from a land far far away.The powers that be, in that land far far a way give a tax credit to fit my blinds. The Sunday Times , Irish Edition ran an article on my blinds and told me they were a great product. I have, like you targeted period houses where it is not permissible to replace the windows(rightly So) They fit nicely on to the parting bead of Up and Down Sash Windows ( to give them their proper title, all windows are sash windows) There is a great future for insulating blinds( Some day all windows will have them fitted ( except for government employees who do not like change) I wonder if I should offer yours and you, offer mine so that the customer has two options. There will be those who like mine and those wo like yours. If I knew how to get into second life i would go and see you but surviving in the first life takes up all my time. Hers to the future of insulated blinds
Regards
Seán
