Room by room
Shade the display without hiding it
A shopfront fights two things at once, sun on the stock and passers-by wanting to see in. We fit for both.
- 01
Display windows
Screen fabric that takes the glare and heat off the stock while the window still sells from the street.
- 02
Sales floor
Glare off tills, screens and the places customers linger, without darkening the shop.
- 03
Fitting rooms and consultation
Blackout or privacy fabric where nobody should see in, on controls staff can operate.
- 04
Back of house
Practical, easy-clean blinds for offices, stock rooms and staff areas.

Questions for this setting
Before you send the brief
Can blinds reduce light on a display without hiding it?
The survey can compare openness, glare and the view into the unit. Photographs taken when sun reaches the display help show the real problem.
What if the landlord controls the shopfront?
Include the landlord or centre requirements and name the approver. External awnings, colours and fixing positions should not be assumed before that approval is clear.
Can you work around trading hours?
Yes. Most retail fitting happens before opening or after close, typically within 7 to 10 days of the survey, with RAMS supplied before we start.
Do landlords or centre management get the paperwork they ask for?
Yes. RAMS, insurance certificates (£5,000,000 public and £10,000,000 employers' liability) and the fabric fire certificate are all available before works begin, and we attend inductions where the centre requires them.
