Kitchen & Bathroom Blinds UK: Supply & Installation
Kitchens and bathrooms need blinds that can handle more than just sunlight. Steam, cooking vapours, and everyday humidity quickly damage standard window coverings. That’s why these spaces require something tougher.
Our bathroom blinds and kitchen solutions are designed to resist moisture while still looking stylish. At BBS Window Blinds, we create practical options that stay durable and easy to clean, helping homes across Manchester and the North West enjoy comfort without compromise.
Why Do Kitchens and Bathrooms Need Special Blinds?
Kitchens and bathrooms are tough environments for window coverings. Heat, steam, and daily use quickly damage standard fabrics, causing warping, discolouration, and even mould or mildew. In the kitchen, blinds also face grease, splashes, and cooking vapours, so they need to be wipeable, durable, and stylish enough to look good after countless cleans.

What Makes Our Bathroom Blinds Different?
We use materials and designs built to handle humidity without losing style. Every option in our range is chosen for performance in wet environments, so your bathroom stays practical and elegant.
- PVC Blinds – PVC bathroom blinds are fully waterproof and easy to clean. They won’t absorb moisture, lose shape, or collect mould. They’re also fire retardant, with blackout options available for extra privacy.
- Faux Wood Venetian Blinds – Faux wood venetians give you the look of real timber but with complete resistance to moisture. Unlike wooden blinds, they won’t warp, crack, or fade. Available in 35mm and 50mm slats, they offer excellent light control and a choice of finishes, from woodgrain effects to sleek painted tones.
- Aluminium Venetian Blinds – Aluminium bathroom blinds are slim, modern, and built to last. Their 25mm slats resist moisture, wipe clean in seconds, and never rust or corrode. They’re ideal for contemporary bathrooms.
- Roman Blinds – For bathrooms where style matters, moisture-resistant Roman blinds add a soft, elegant finish. Choose from a wide range of fabrics treated to withstand humidity while bringing warmth and comfort to your space.

Which Blinds Work Best in Kitchens?
Kitchen blinds need to handle steam, splashes, and frequent cleaning—all while looking great. Our range gives you practical options that complement any décor.
- Roller Blinds – Roller blinds are a kitchen favourite. Moisture-resistant fabrics make them easy to maintain, while PVC-backed options give extra protection. Choose from hundreds of colours and patterns, blackout fabrics for privacy, or screen materials that cut glare without blocking your view. Operation is simple too. Spring-loaded and motorised controls mean no messy handprints mid-cooking.
- Perfect Fit Blinds – These clip directly to your UPVC windows, creating a snug, gap-free fit that keeps moisture away from the recess. They’re available as roller, pleated, or venetian blinds. With no loose cords, they’re child-safe and ideal for busy family kitchens.
How Do You Maintain Kitchen and Bathroom Blinds?
Moisture-resistant blinds are easy to care for. The method depends on the material:
- PVC and Faux Wood Blinds – Wipe with a damp cloth for everyday cleaning. For tougher marks, use mild soapy water. Skip harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.
- Aluminium Venetians – Light dusting is usually enough. In bathrooms, steam often helps loosen dust. For water marks, a quick wipe with a microfibre cloth works best.
- Waterproof Roller Blinds – Clean in place with a cloth, or remove for washing if needed. Always follow the manufacturer’s care guide, but most respond well to gentle cleaning products.
What About Mould Resistance?
Mould resistant blinds aren’t only about the material. Smart design is also important. Our blinds combine moisture-resistant fabrics and proper spacing to stop mould before it starts.
When blinds sit flush against a window, condensation gets trapped and creates the perfect spot for mould. We avoid this by fitting them with enough space for air to move. PVC and aluminium don’t provide the organic matter mould needs, and treated fabrics are designed to resist growth from the start.

FAQs About Kitchen and Bathroom Blinds
You can install standard blinds in a bathroom, but it's not recommended. Regular fabric blinds absorb moisture, leading to mould growth, warping, and unpleasant odours. Moisture-resistant materials like PVC, faux wood, or aluminium venetians last longer and maintain their appearance despite daily exposure to steam and humidity.
Yes, many of our waterproof blinds offer full blackout capabilities. Our PVC roller blinds come with blackout options that completely block light while remaining fully waterproof. Perfect Fits with blackout fabrics also provide excellent light blocking. However, venetian blinds (whether faux wood or aluminium) won't provide complete blackout due to gaps between slats.
Quality moisture-resistant blinds from BBS Window Blinds typically last 10-15 years or more with proper care. Faux wood and PVC blinds are particularly durable in bathroom environments. The key is choosing the right material initially and maintaining it with occasional cleaning. Our professional installation also ensures maximum lifespan by preventing moisture-trapping points.
