“Perfect Fit” with a perfect view!

What a stunning view! Unfortunately, being South East facing, this conservatory, in Maidencombe, near Torquay, gets a lot of sun for large parts of the day. So, to shade the sun, but not obscure any of the view when the sun wasn’t out, “Perfect Fit” Pleated Blinds were ideal. One…

Why I Love My Job

30 year old steps bite the dust

Vertical Blinds in Bay Windows

Perfect Fit Blinds

Although covered in a previous blog, I thought I’d bring to your attention a different way Perfect Fit Pleated Blinds can be utilised. The 6 blinds fitted recently on the Shaldon Road, just outside Newton Abbot, were actually fitted upside down. No, not my mistake, but at the request of…
