FAQs

When you book your free consultation to answer any questions you may have, we allow plenty of time, or you are welcome to give us a call or pop into our Birmingham showroom. However, here are some of the questions we are being asked:

I already know what fabric I want – can you source this for me?

We are an autonomous company, which means we are not linked to any single supplier. Usually, if you have something particular in mind, in Tamworth, around the West Midlands and even nationally, we can source unique fabrics locally.

Do you make blinds for offices as well as homes?

Yeah, our blinds are manufactured in our Birmingham factory so that we can produce blinds for most types of property, and we make commercial blinds and office curtains, as well as making people’s home choices.

I have an unusual shaped / large window, can you make blinds to fit?

All of our blinds and shutters are designed for measurement, which means that we can build them to fit most rooms and advise you on the best solution. In reality, we are invited to help with special or complex spaces more and more frequently because of our experience.

How do I fit my blinds?

And you don’t need to think about getting the ladder out and standing on tables! We have a complimentary fitting service. If they’re for your new home or just looking to refresh the blinds in your kitchen, we’ll professionally fit them for you.

Do my blinds come with a guarantee?

All our goods come with a guarantee of 5 years.

Can you create matching cushions and other soft furnishings?

Yeah, if you have anything in mind, we can make matching cushions, valances, table runners, just give us a call or have a chat during your design consultation.

How long do you take to fit a blind?

We will make a standard sized window per blind for around 20 minutes. It relies on the form of the blind and the shape of the window.

Who do you send to our home appointment?

You will be greeted by one of our professional staff, who will be able to take measurements and carry along samples of tissue. Once the blinds or the shutters are made, they will fit one of our experienced team. Both our reps and fitters are running, and many have worked for us for years now.

Can you replace the vanes/ louvres in vertical blinds?

If you are redecorating your room, or your vertical blinds are looking a little tired, we can replace the louvres (angled vanes that allow light & air but keep out rain & direct sunlight) for you. There are plenty of new fabrics to choose from, enabling you to refresh your template cost-effectively. We can also make soft fabric furnishings in order to match your style.

What is the difference between vertical and venetian blinds?

Vertical blinds are made of fabric and hang vertically in your window, while venetian blinds are made of wood or aluminium along the width of the window with slats.

Here are some more information, and some tips on which kind of blind person to select.

Do you make blinds that work with Amazon Alexa?

Right, we will make blinds for you, and we can help set this up. For more info,click below.

What blinds and curtains are best for a Bay Window?

Bay windows have their distinctive problems, but a list of some of the best working blinds is available here. Your Tamworth Blinds representative will further remind you when they visit your home to take measurements, as each case is different.

What are the alternatives to net curtains?

There are a number of modern alternatives that you might not have heard about, such as Vision Blinds and Allusion blinds, as well as some lovely voile fabrics. Here are some tips, but you are best off consulting with your rep when they visit your place, as they can get a better idea of what you need.

Can blinds help reduce hayfever?

Yes, by trapping pollen before it reaches the home or office, Louvolite’s clever Pollergen fabric will minimize hayfever. We can use this fabric to create blinds.

I have booked an appointment – will you be there at that exact time?

The appointment slots are arranged in order to give us time to get from one appointment to another. We will arrive at any time in that slot, so an appointment slot of 2-4pm, for example, means we can get there at 3pm. Tamworth is a big county and the surrounding areas, so we need to allow travel to and from appointments to have a time frame.

I am not sure what sort of blinds or curtains to choose – can you help me?

We are pleased to offer a free design consultation at your home or office. We’re going to measure your windows, speak to you about how you want to use the space, look at your current color scheme and recommend the best type of blind or curtain for you. We will be able to show you a range of samples and possibilities if you are looking for lounge blinds, conservatory sails, curtain options, or any other possibilities. Similarly, if you know what you really want, that’s okay, too.
