Baileys Blinds were asked by Gavin (and Dominic) of Patton Fit Out from Ballymena in Northern Ireland to supply and install some window blinds in the new Debenhams store in the Arc development in Bury St Edmunds. The blinds screen the shop front whilst displays are being changed. The display designers would rather reveal their creation to the public when it is complete and prevent people seeing the shop front under construction containing naked mannequins and in an untidy mess.
The windows are very tall (about four metres) so instead of using conventional roller blinds operating from top to bottom Gavin from Pattons asked Baileys Blinds from Bury St Edmunds to supply and install roller blinds which pull up from the ground. The blinds clip into brackets attached to the shop front about two metres from the ground.
The rollerblinds were covered in Guardian White flame retardant fabric from Louvolite and were installed inside cassette boxes from Global International which were painted in light gray to match the shop front. (The choice of colour was nothing to do with Gavin).
Baileys Blinds completed the installation on time without disruption to the operation of the Bury St Edmunds Debenhams store which was receiving stock before opening in March 2009.
PAUL i think the roller blinds made by the staff of baileys blinds were made in a fabric called carnival white by louverlite
