Room by room
What we fit in a care home, and why
Bedrooms, lounges, dining rooms and staff areas each need something different from a blind. We fit each room for the way it is used.
- 01
Contract fabrics
Yewdale contract fabrics certified to BS 5867 Part 2 Type B, with the certificate for the specified fabric supplied on every commercial order. A Type C certified fabric is available where the specification calls for it.
- 02
Resident bedrooms
Blackout for sleep, easy controls that suit the person in the room, and wipeable fabrics where the cleaning routine asks for them.
- 03
Lounges and dining
Dim-out fabric that takes the glare and heat off without making the room feel dark or clinical.
- 04
Bathrooms and wet areas
Moisture-resistant blinds that cope with steam, ventilation and daily cleaning.
- 05
Rooms with a known risk
Where a resident is at risk, our fitters hold the certification to fit the Kestrel anti-ligature range instead of a standard track or blind. The rest of the home keeps ordinary contract blinds.
- 06
Staff and clinical rooms
Privacy where it matters, screen-friendly light in offices, and nothing fitted that gets in the way of restricted access.

Access and programme
Room by room, around residents and staff
We work one room group at a time so routines carry on and the care team always knows what happens next.
- 01
Room groups
We split bedrooms, lounges, dining, corridors and staff spaces and take them in the order that suits the home.
- 02
The daily rhythm
Meal times, medication rounds and rooms that cannot be interrupted are planned around, not through.
- 03
Safe access
Escorts, furniture moves and how each room is left between visits are agreed with the manager before we start.
- 04
Sign-off
Your named person checks each room with our fitter and anything outstanding is logged and dealt with.
Questions for this setting
Before you send the brief
Can the work be split by wing or floor?
Yes. We split the home into practical room groups, agree the order that best protects resident routines, then fit one group at a time.
What information helps with resident rooms?
A room list, photographs where appropriate, access notes and the control preference for each room are a useful starting point.
Are the fabrics fire retardant and wipeable?
Yewdale contract fabrics are certified to BS 5867 Part 2 Type B, with the certificate for the specified fabric supplied on every commercial order, and wipe clean fabrics are available for resident rooms. A Type C certified fabric is available where the specification calls for it.
Is your fitting team vetted for a care setting?
Enhanced DBS across the fitting team, CSCS carded with SSSTS supervision, and RAMS before works begin. We fit around residents, escorts and meal times rather than asking rooms to be cleared.
Can you fit anti-ligature blinds and tracks in a dementia or mental health unit?
Yes, our fitters hold Yewdale Kestrel installer certification, so a unit inside the home can be specified properly while the rest of the building keeps ordinary contract blinds. More detail is on our healthcare page.
