Spring loaded roller blinds for safety AND functionality
I try to be as open-minded about products as possible – to ensure that on each client project we’re recommending the best possible product, application or hardware for the job.

Curtain Poles for Bifold Door Curtains
We’ve blogged before about the various available options, when it comes to choosing curtains and/or blinds for your bifold doors or sliding doors.

A Swedish Blind that actually works!

The bifold door phenomenon is now embedded in every sophisticated architect’s brief when it comes to designing uber chic, contemporary kitchen and living room spaces, and in recent blogs on bifold doors we’ve discussed the various benefits of these innovative systems. However talk to any bifold door manufacturer, and they will tell you that, with this [...]
Blind cord safety
