Pleated roofblinds on conservatory roof vents

Posted on December 31, 2011 by blindman

Conservatories can become very hot in summer and one way to help to keep them cool is to install fully opening roof vents. The vents can be manually or electrically actuated. Pleated roof blinds will provide help with the heat and glare but the blinds must retract when the window vent is open.The actuator, if electric or screw jack, if manual prevents the the blind travelling from top to bottom.

The snappy solution is to make one pleated roof blind in which the top section goes to the top and the bottom section goes to the bottom. The roof blind can be fully opened or closed across the roof vent window. The roof blind can be retracted both ways and the vent opened to allow hot air to escape. Baileys Blinds show many images of conservatory roof blinds on our Facebook on www.baileysblind.com.

Window handles and Perfect Fit fit window blinds.

Posted on December 29, 2011 by blindman

Window handle with perfect fit spacerThere are sometimes situations where you cannot open the windows in a conservatory after perfect fit blinds have been fitted to the windows. The perfect fit frame thickens the window frame approximately 10mm preventing the window handle rotating. Fortunately Baileys Blinds have a snappy solution to this problem.

 

Window handle with spacer for perfect fit frameThe window handle can be easily removed and a white plastic spacer is inserted between the window handle and the window frame. After the window handle is tightened down there is sufficient clearance between handle and perfect fit frame to allow the window to be opened.

Perfect fit pleated blinds for The Apex Venue in Bury St Edmunds

Posted on January 18, 2011 by blindman

The doors surrounding the stage area at The Apex Venue in Bury St Edmunds  have vision panels which allow people to look into the performance and for the audience to be distracted by movement in the surrounding service areas. Baileys Blinds were asked by St Edmundsbury Borough Council to provide a solution to this problem.

The perfect fit blinds are easy to operate and blend in so well that they appear to be part of the doors. The audience are no longer distracted by people moving outside the auditorium during a performance.

Vertical blinds with strings.

Baileys Blinds in Bury St Edmunds and Brandon are now making string vertical blinds. The string slats are 89mm wide and are supplied in 3 metre lengths which are easily cut to size on site.

String Blinds provide a soft alternative to the standard vertical blind  giving privacy while maintaining the open feeling to your room. String vertical blinds can also be used as a soft room divider in commercial situations.

The string blind louvres are great for patio doors as the blinds can remain closed and still be walked through without causing damage. Pets can come and go and the strings form a  walk through fly screen and insect barrier.

Central bunching vertical blinds.

Posted on September 10, 2010 by blindman

It is possible to draw vertical blinds to the centre of the window instead of to one or each side. The vertical blind will not flap in the wind if a side window is opened. Some of Baileys Blinds customers prefer this option because they will not be disturbed by any  movement of the blind.

The TS 2000 uses ultrasonic welding technology. Baileys Blinds can manufacture vertical blinds in black out PVC material which does

not have unsightly stitch marks for the top hanger or bottom pocket.www.baileysblinds.com.
