We are happy to assist you in deciding on which blind would be best suitable for you.
Ziptrak®
Our track guided blind system has specially designed slotted tracks in which the blind glides smoothly and easily, stopping at any position. The blind can be secured and locked in the down position to guard against winds and UV – no zippers or buckles required, it’s that simple.
You can choose between Mesh and Clear/Tinted PVC
The mesh is optimal for use as a wind and sun buffer as well as acting as an insect screen so your privacy is assured
The PVC on the other hand is perfect against harsh weather, with its ability to also keep out rain as well as providing a clear view outside on top of everything else, making them perfect for a patio or deck.
Straight Drop Awnings
Designed for outdoor entertaining areas, Straight Drop Awnings are ideal for enclosing your balcony or pergola for relaxing shade and total privacy. Straight Drop Awnings are easy to raise and lower with winch control or motorisation.
You can choose between Mesh and Clear/Tinted PVC
PVC Blinds & Awnings
PVC Blinds & Awnings are ideal for those areas where you would like “weather proofing”. Using clear or tinted PVC these blinds give you not only protection against rain and winds but also un-obstructed views.
Popularly called “café blinds”, these are available with manual or motorised controls.
Sunset Awnings
The Sunset Awnings are very similar to the Straight Drop Awnings however instead of being fitted with winch control or motorisation these awnings are spring loaded.
In general you can say they are more suited for smaller areas and shorter drops than the other external blinds.
These blinds are only made using Mesh.

How To Choose The Right Blinds For Your Home
Choosing the right blinds for your home involves more than just picking a colour; it requires you to consider various factors, including:
Assessing Your Room's Needs
Start by evaluating the needs of each room. For example, bedrooms might need block-out blinds for better sleep quality, while high-humidity areas would benefit from moisture-resistant materials.
Considering Window Direction And Size
The direction of your window and its size greatly influence the type of blind needed. For instance, windows receiving a lot of sunlight might require blinds with better sun protection.
Matching Your Décor
Your blinds should also harmonise with your existing décor. A minimalist interior design might suit Venetian or roller blinds, while a more traditional décor might call for Roman or wooden blinds.
Choosing Between Manual Or Motorised Operation
Consider the type of operation that suits your lifestyle. Manual blinds are common and economical, but motorised blinds offer a level of convenience, particularly for hard-to-reach windows.
Seeking Professional Advice
Lastly, don’t hesitate to seek professional advice. Our team at Windsor Blinds Awnings Shutters will help you navigate the choices available to find a solution that suits your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Clean and Maintain Blinds?
Proper cleaning and maintenance play an important role in prolonging the life of your blinds. Start with light dusting using a soft cloth or a vacuum with a brush attachment for more extensive coverage. For blinds made of durable materials like vinyl or aluminium, a damp cloth can be used for a deeper clean, taking care not to use any harsh or abrasive cleaning agents that might damage the blinds. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for specific care tips based on the material and style of your blinds.
Do Blinds Reduce External Noise?
Absolutely. Blinds, particularly those made from materials with insulating properties, can help reduce external noise. However, remember that blinds alone cannot entirely eliminate noise; consider coupling them with other soundproofing measures like double-glazed windows for more effective noise reduction.
Are Blinds Suitable for High-Humidity Areas?
When it comes to high-humidity areas, it’s important to choose blinds made from moisture-resistant materials. Blinds made of aluminium are generally well-suited to withstand the humid conditions often found in bathrooms and kitchens. In contrast, real wood blinds may warp in such environments. When selecting blinds for these areas, consider not only the style and light control but also the material’s ability to withstand high humidity.
What are the Advantages of Motorised Blinds?
Motorised blinds provide a higher level of convenience and control than traditional blinds. They allow you to easily adjust the amount of light in a room with a simple touch of a button. Moreover, motorised blinds eliminate cords, making them a safer choice for homes with children or pets.
Can Blinds Help with Energy Efficiency?
Yes, certain types of blinds can contribute to energy efficiency in your home. For instance, block-out blinds can help improve energy efficiency by reducing heat gain from the sun.
Can Blinds Protect My Furniture from Sun Damage?
Yes, blinds can help protect your furniture from sun damage. Direct sunlight can fade or discolour furniture, flooring and artwork over time. Blinds provide a barrier between the sun and your interiors, reducing exposure to harmful UV rays. Certain types of blinds, like sunscreen blinds, are specifically designed to block UV rays while still allowing light to enter.
How Long Do Blinds Usually Last?
High-quality blinds that are well cared for can easily last around 5 to 10 years. However, it largely depends on factors like the quality of the material, the amount of wear and tear and how well they’re maintained.
