The easiest way to clean panel blinds is by first taking them off the window and using hot, soapy water or a mixture of vinegar and warm water to gently wipe down each slate  with a cloth.

It depends on a number of factors, such as the size and layout of the window, the type of fabric used for the blinds, and the level of natural light entering the room.

They are better at regulating your indoor temperature in your home or office than vertical blinds as they have less blades to allow the heat to escape. However, panel blinds are less effective at preventing heat loss in the cooler months. 

Panel blinds are preferred over vertical blinds for temperature control. However, we recommend looking at roller blinds or roman blinds for improved insulation in a blind.

Roman blinds can last anywhere from five to 10 years, but the lifespan of your blinds will depend on a number of factors, including the quality of the materials, how often they are used, and how well they are taken care of.

It depends on the type of Roman blinds, the materials used, the size of your windows, and any special features you’d like to include.  Roman blinds are more expensive than roller blinds due to the quality of the material used, the care, time and detail required to produce an excellent, high quality product. 

Our Roman blinds are made-to-measure and are crafted by skilled experts who have a high attention to detail and care.

Roman blinds can be used in any room of the house, but are often seen in bedrooms and bathrooms. They are a good choice for rooms with high ceilings because they help to draw the eye downward and add a touch of elegance.

Roman blinds can also be used to provide privacy or to block out light. They come in a variety of styles and colours, so you can find the perfect ones to match your decor.

It depends on your specific needs and preferences. Roman blinds are a good option if you want some privacy and need a lightweight window covering. They also look elegant and can be made to fit any window size. Roman blinds can also be designed with beautiful, patterned fabric which will add some colour and personality to your space. They can be teamed with curtains to provide better insulation.

However, roller blinds are a better choice if you need something that can completely block out light or provide more insulation for your home within the one window furnishing. Roller blinds can also be rolled right up so they can be unseen and allow the rest of your room or outdoor view to shine. They can also be styled with other window coverings such as curtains or venetians. 

Roman blinds are typically used in more traditional style homes and roller blinds in more modern or contemporary settings.

Yes, vertical blinds can be washed. In most cases, they can be machine-washed on a gentle cycle using cold water and a mild detergent. However, it is important to check the manufacturer's instructions before washing them to ensure that you are using the correct care methods.

The easiest way to clean Venetian Blinds is by first taking them off the window and using hot, soapy water or a mixture of vinegar and warm water to gently wipe down each slate  with a cloth. You can also use a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment to remove all the dust and dirt from the slats by gently brushing them with the vacuum cleaner brush. 

While Venetian blinds are great at reducing the amount of heat coming into the room from sunshine, they are not as effective at keeping the heat within your room. Windows create a doorway for substantial heat loss within a home. If you’re wanting to prevent heat loss, we would recommend blockout blinds or curtains which provide further insulation in the cooler months.

Venetian blinds are a popular window treatment choice because they are practical, stylish and provide both privacy and light control. Venetian blinds consist of horizontal slats that can be pivoted to control the amount of light passing through the window opening.

There are two main types of Venetian blinds: 

Wooden venetian blinds are a classic choice and can be stained or painted to match any décor. However, they are not suited to long-term moisture exposure or high humidity in areas like the bathroom, kitchen or laundry. 

Aluminium venetian blinds are durable, won’t warp with moisture and can be wiped clean with a cloth. The downside of aluminium venetian blinds is that it can take longer to clean as you’ll need to wipe down or vacuum each individual slate.
