The flats above the Arc in Bury St Edmunds are now being snapped up by ‘buy to let’ landlords. Baileys blinds have installed vertical and velux blinds in several of the new flats. The top floor flats have a kitchen, dining and lounge area with one bedroom. The windows need dressing because they look directly into the flat opposite.
There are two sloping windows in the main living area. Baileys Blinds have already installed sloping vertical blinds in some of these flats. The sloping blinds rotate but the slats do not traverse across the window. It is possible to make sloping vertical blinds that traverse windows but we have found that when they are roughly handled the links which connect the slats break and the slats collapse to the bottom of the tracks. We therefore lock the blind slats in position which allows them to rotate but not traverse. Some landlords do not like this but Baileys Blinds have found this to be the most practical solution.
The image shows the sloping vertical blind in Guardian beige fabric with 89mm slats rotated into the closed position. You can see the flat opposite through the open sliding balcony door. You can contact Baileys Blinds in Bury St Edmunds and Brandon through www.baileysblinds.com
