A selection of some of the beautiful shutters we have installed.

As you can see tier on tier shutters are a perfect solution for a Victorian sash window. Offering privacy while still allowing in light 👌🏻👌🏻

Or still achieve the same control over light by splitting the louvres on a full height door to allow independent control at the top and then bottom of the shutter.

Available in painted wood or tradition stains as well as fauxwood options for bathrooms.

Pleated blinds - functional, practical and beautiful!

Not only are these blinds protecting the furniture, controlling the heat in a room and offering privacy they are also simply stunning, adding a splash of colour and brightening the room. 🥰🥰🥰

We offer a huge range of colours in blackout and dim out fabrics.

Here we have our tradition fixed pleated but also the most popular model we supply, the comfort slide. This is installed with adhesive side channels attached directly to the glass, eliminating any fixings directly into your windows.

We had the pleasure of working with Kesgrave Kitchen recently to install this beautiful Markilux Pergola.

They asked us to help them with an all weather solution to offer not only shade for the summer months, but most importantly a covered area to offer shelter to customers waiting to be seated from the rain.

We installed special bracket’s to lift the awning up high to clear the doors and to get the pergola above head height. These are ideal for single story buildings where you need to clear signs or guttering.

If you pass during a rain spell you might think the pergola looks on the skew, this is deliberate don’t worry! The Pergola has a telescopic post on one side. This is used during a rain shower to guide the water off the cover and down the legs. This prolongs the life of the cover and makes the pergola useable in the rain.

These front legs go into stabilisation boxes. These are a great option if you don’t want a permanent fix into your patio. The stabilisation boxes are filled with ballast to weigh the awning down and can be made into a beautiful planter or topped to make a seat.

The Pergola is a welcomed addition to any commercial setting or home patio in need of extra space or covered areas.

We’ve enjoyed a few brunches already under the shade but get along and take a look! 👀 and enjoy some delicious food at the same time! 👌🏻👌🏻. Our showroom is only a short journey away so pop in and take a closer look at the full range!
