Baileys Blindman

Baileys blinds are often asked to supply and install wooden venetian blinds in bay windows. This is easy to do but there are things to consider before proceeding.

Baileys blinds normally find that the wooden venetian blinds have to be fitted into plasterboard. We fix other types of blinds into plasterboard using specialist fixings but we have found that due to their weight it is possible to pull wooden venetian blinds out of a plasterboard ceiling when the blind is raised and lowered. Baileys blinds only fix wooden venetian blinds into plasterboard ceilings when the customers agree to lift the blind slats as well as using the lift cords.

Sometimes it is not possible to eliminate gaps between venetian blinds where they meet in the corners. This is not usually a problem because the window mullions and supports cover the gaps. And all venetian blinds need to be dusted.www.baileysblinds.com.

Baileys Blinds have recently installed a venetian blind with 25mm wide slats on a bay window  with three panels covered with curtains. The middle window has full sun during the day and the customers wanted shading from direct sunlight without closing the curtains. We could not fit blinds to the side windows but the side curtains could be closed while the venetian blind provided shading and allows light through the middle window.

The front window is a fixed pane and two side opening side windows make up the three window bay. There are protruding window handles on the two side windows which would interfere with the venetian blinds and prevent them from hanging properly. There was just enough room to allow a venetian blind to hang properly on the larger window because it has no protruding handles.

Venetian blinds with 25mm wide slats are raised and lowered with a cord and are rotated using a stick or wand. Venetian blinds look very neat and modern and allow for very easy and effective light control. Although they need to be dusted regularly Baileys Blinds find that venetian blinds still remain a popular choice for window shading.www.baileysblinds.com.
