Frequently Asked Questions

Curtains are a versatile, well-liked option for every area of the house - including bathrooms and kitchens - available in a broad variety of widths, lengths, fabrics, colours and patterns. Blinds differ in that they lack continuous fabric and use lifting mechanisms or cords. Both can be operated manually or via motorisation.

Popular bathroom options include PVC plantation shutters, roller blinds, venetian blinds and vertical blinds - in plastic, aluminium or composite materials. We avoid timber in wet areas because it absorbs moisture.

Full-length S-fold sheer curtains work beautifully in large spaces, whereas blinds are preferable in smaller rooms such as the kitchen and bathroom. Blinds also suit areas with furniture - like beds or sofas - sitting beneath the windows.

For fixed panels, curtains should lightly brush the floor - long enough to look tailored, but not so long they gather in a pile. The current trend favours ceiling-to-floor sheer curtains on track systems for elegant, wall-to-wall coverage.

Cellular (honeycomb) blinds have hexagonal cells that trap air in their gaps. Two-cell configurations outperform single-cell options, making cellular shades among the most energy-efficient window treatments available.
