There are two main uses for window blinds. The first is obviously privacy - and effective way to keep out prying eyes. However they were originally developed in ancient Egypt to block out the sun and reduce the heat coming into the buildings. These blinds were created from reeds. Roman blinds were invented in Italy . It's important to look after your blinds to ensure they have a long life. However, it doesn't take a lot of effort to do so. Solid blinds just need a damp cloth wipe, and material blinds are best if they are dry cleaned (as long as it says that's ok on the instructions!).

Whether your venetian blinds are metal, wood, or even plastic, we really suggest you clean them every week with a vacuum brush attachment to ensure they stay as clean as possible. If you shut the slats completely you will be able to get them the cleanest. Of course if there have been mucky fingers, that will take a damp sponge to fix and then wipe them dry. Also, always check the guidelines from the manufacturer. Whatever type of blind you require, our partners can probably supply it not just to the colour and style you require, but often made to measure and delivered to Northampton.

If you have children, the safest products are cordless or those with concealed cords which allow you manually move the blind around. Tensioned cords can achieve the same effect. If you are measuring your own windows make sure that you use a metal tape as the cloth based tapes can stretch and show inaccurate results.
