Benefits of Vertical Blinds

Popular Design

Vertical blinds are one of the most popular installations for homes in Middlesbrough and the surrounding area. They have a universal appeal and can suit all interior design and lifestyle requirements. 

Vertical blinds are sleek and modern, ideal for rooms where space is at a premium. When the blinds are pulled away, they neatly tuck into the corner to make sure they don’t take up space around a window or a door.

Long Lasting

Our vertical blinds are crafted using durable and hard-wearing fabrics that won’t discolour or fade when left in direct sunlight. Because vertical blinds are less likely to fold and crease, they require minimal upkeep to ensure they stay looking as good as the day they were installed. 

Vertical blinds are very low-maintenance because these designs don’t tend to collect dust and are easy to clean. No matter which customisation options you choose, they are a long-term investment for your Middlesbrough property.

Control Brightness

One of the key benefits of vertical blinds is that they allow you to control how bright a room is. Open your home up and flood the space with natural light, or enhance your Middlesbrough property’s privacy by keeping it closed.

The unique tilt function on these blinds allows you to let exactly the right amount of light into your space. Minimise glare so you can watch TV or work on a desktop without disruption.

Vertical blinds also offer outstanding levels of thermal efficiency. They can help to regulate the temperature of the room by keeping too much sun and heat out in summer or insulating against the cold in winter.

Where Can I Install Vertical Blinds?

Vertical blinds are popular because they are so versatile and adaptable. They are available in larger sizes, making them ideal for expansive glazed areas like bifold doors. They also suit everything from casement windows to patio doors. They are also popular in conservatories and orangeries, helping to minimise stuffiness. 

These blinds can be added to any window or door in any room in any type of space. They are especially popular for home offices where you can minimise glare and enhance privacy. Improve your focus without compromising on aesthetics.

Our vertical blinds are available in a broad array of colours, patterns, and finishes, so you can adapt them to any style of interior design. Enjoy an installation that seamlessly blends into your existing interior design or creates a striking contrast.

Enhancing Comfort and Safety: Choosing the Right Blinds for Care Homes

Enhancing Comfort and Safety: Choosing the Right Blinds for Care Homes

At A1 Blinds, we cater to a wide range of commercial properties including residential and care settings. Window blinds in these kinds of establishments are absolutely paramount for a number of reasons including privacy, safety and emotiona and physical well-being.  Here are some reasons why we think you should consider window blinds when looking after those at risk or the elderly:

 

  1. Privacy and Dignity: Blinds allow residents to control their level of privacy, enabling them to adjust the window coverings according to their preferences. This promotes a sense of dignity and autonomy, which is particularly important in care home settings.

  2. Light Control: Blinds offer residents the ability to control the amount of natural light entering their rooms. Proper light control can create a comfortable and soothing environment, while also helping to regulate sleep patterns and enhance mood.

  3. Temperature Regulation: Blinds can help regulate indoor temperatures by blocking or allowing sunlight as needed. This can contribute to energy efficiency and reduce heating or cooling costs.

  4. Glare Reduction: Blinds can effectively reduce glare on screens or surfaces, making it more comfortable for residents to engage in activities such as reading, watching television, or using electronic devices.

  5. Noise Reduction: Certain types of blinds have noise-absorbing properties that can help minimise external noise, creating a more peaceful and quiet living environment.

  6. Safety: Modern cordless or motorised blinds eliminate the risk of cords becoming entangled, reducing the potential hazards for residents, especially those with limited mobility or cognitive impairments.

  7. Aesthetics: Blinds contribute to the overall aesthetic of care home interiors. They come in a wide range of materials, styles, and colours, allowing care homes to choose options that complement their design themes and create a pleasant ambience.

  8. Hygiene and Maintenance: Blinds made from easy-to-clean materials simplify maintenance efforts, ensuring a clean and hygienic living environment for residents.

  9. Customisation: All our window blinds are made to measure and can be designed to fit a wide range of window sizes and shapes, enabling you to create a consistent and tailored look throughout their premises.

  10. Convenience: Easy-to-operate blinds, especially motorised ones, provide convenience for residents and staff, allowing adjustments to be made quickly and effortlessly.

  11. Security: Closed blinds can deter prying eyes and provide an added layer of security for residents and their belongings.

  12. Flexibility: Different areas of a residential building may have different lighting and privacy needs. Blinds offer the flexibility to adjust these elements based on the specific requirements of each space.

  13. Mood Enhancement: Well-chosen blinds can positively influence the atmosphere of care home rooms, creating a calm and soothing environment that contributes to residents’ overall well-being.

 

When choosing care home blinds, it’s important to consider the specific needs and preferences of the residents, as well as the practical and safety considerations of the care home environment. Our team offer a free consultation service where you can book a pre-determined appointment for us to visit your establishment, talk over your requirements and share our expert knowledge, ensuring you get the absolute best out of your window blinds. This service is free for those in the North East of England and also includes window measurement, ensuring your blinds fit perfectly, every time!

Plain or Patterns?

Plain or Patterns?

Usually, the choice between patterned or plain window blinds comes down to personal preference and the existing decor of the room you are putting the window blind into. Whilst most people’s go-to is a plain, neutral design, it can be a good idea to consider all choices and see them for yourself before making your mind up, which is why we always recommend potential customers to come down to our showroom to see many of our blind styles in person to really get a feel for the textures, colours and aesthetics of each fabric. Our locations are below:

Blaydon: Chainbridge Industrial Estate, 4-5 Tundry Way, Blaydon-on-Tyne NE21 5SJ

Forest Hall: 20 Station Rd N, Forest Hall, Newcastle upon Tyne NE12 9AD

Patterned Window Blinds:

  1. Visual Interest: Patterned blinds can add visual interest and depth to a room. They can be a focal point or complement other patterns in the decor.
  2. Style: Patterned blinds can convey a specific style or theme, such as modern, traditional, or eclectic.
  3. Concealing Imperfections: Patterns can help mask minor stains or wear over time.
  4. Privacy: Depending on the pattern, they may offer more privacy compared to plain blinds, as patterns can obscure the view from outside.

Plain Window Blinds:

  1. Simplicity: Plain blinds offer a clean and understated look that can easily blend with various interior design styles.
  2. Versatility: They are versatile and can easily coordinate with a wide range of decor and color schemes.
  3. Timelessness: Plain blinds often have a timeless appeal that doesn’t go out of fashion quickly.
  4. Minimalistic Aesthetics: If you prefer a minimalistic or uncluttered look, plain blinds might be a better choice.

Ultimately, the decision between patterned and plain window blinds comes down to your personal style, the existing decor of the room, and the ambience you want to create. You could also consider combining both by having patterned blinds in some rooms and plain blinds in others, depending on the mood and function of each space.

10 Things To Know Before Buying Blinds

10 Things To Know Before Buying Blinds

Are you thinking of buying window blinds? Our home consultations are a great way to learn about the various styles and fabrics on offer and our expert team can go through all the technical terms and specifications with you to ensure you are getting not only the best deal possible, but the blinds chosen for your space are the right kind not only aesthetically, but practically too. However, if you are not in the window coverings business, knowing what information will be helpful before committing to your purchase can be confusing.  Here are our top 10 tips for things to know before buying blinds:

Window Measurements:

As part of our free home consultations, we offer free window measurements so you do not need to worry about getting the ladder out and measuring your windows yourself. It is however useful to note that the larger your windows are, the more it is going to cost to custom build and fit a blind to. Understanding this from the beginning will help you prepare for what kind of quote you will be given before our consultant leaves your home. 

Type of Blinds:

There are many types of blinds to choose from, all of which offer various benefits. You may find it useful to jot down some of the main benefits you want from your window blinds so our team can use this information to come up with a window solution that will meet your requirements. For example, do you need motorised/voice control blinds? Do you prefer hanging vertical blinds or snug-fit roller blinds? Having a preference is ok, and can help us to determine which blinds are best for you. 

Light Control:

Determine the level of light control you desire. Some blinds offer complete blackout, while others provide filtered light. Consider the direction your windows face and the amount of sunlight they receive. Don’t just consider the current climate, try and think back to what the light levels were like in previous seasons as well.

Privacy Needs:

Consider the levels of privacy you require in each room. Some rooms, such as bedrooms, might require a total blackout blind that prevents the ability to see in at all. Other rooms however might need a degree of privacy, such as living rooms and kitchens where the levels can be adjusted to suit, such as open during the day and closed during the evening. Some blinds even offer a view to the outside while limiting people’s ability to see inside.

Material and Durability:

The material of the blind plays a big part in its durability. For example, in a kitchen, you might want to consider flame retardant and wipe clean fabrics depending on their proximity to the cooking area. For everyday blinds, it is a good idea to consider materials that suit your style and stand up to the conditions in the room. You may decide to go for a plain, minimal design to suit a range of decors and colours if you like to redecorate a lot, or you might go for bold, colourful and patterned material to bring the “feature wall” to the window. Whatever your preference, we have a blind to suit you!

Maintenance and Cleaning:

Different blinds require different cleaning methods. Consider how much time and effort you’re willing to invest in maintaining them.

Safety:

If you have young children or pets you may want to consider motorised blinds. This is one of our safest offerings as they have no operational cords. However, ALL of our blinds comply with UK safety laws and all operation cords will be fixed to the wall upon application by our team, dramatically lowering the chances of accidents.

Warranty:

Most blinds come with a warranty of some sort, but the length and terms of the warranty can vary. All of our blinds are covered by a 12-month warranty. 

Samples:

Before booking a consultation, you might want to see a few styles for yourself, feel the materials and see the quality of the fabrics. We offer a free home delivery of up to 5 samples of your choice directly from our website. Simply search for the blind style you like and click the request sample button next to it. Checkout the sample basket and they will be delivered free of charge to your home. 

Expert Service:

Once you have considered all alternatives, it is time to book your home consultation! This is a free, no-obligation service offered to anyone in the North East of England. We will attend your property at a pre-arranged appointment time and go through all of your options, listen to any concerns and offer our expert advice on styles and fixtures. We then measure your windows and provide you with a quotation that lasts for 30 days. We do not employ “salesmen” and nobody works on commission, so you will not be made to feel pressured to buy. Once we have received your order your blind will be produced in our factory and fitted within 2 weeks of ordering.

 

By considering these factors, you’ll be better prepared to make an informed decision and find window blinds that enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your home. Happy blinds shopping!

Safe Blinds For The Healthcare Sector

Safe Blinds For The Healthcare Sector

Our carefully selected range of blinds prioritises durability and low maintenance, addressing the major concern of cost without compromising on quality. Many of our fabrics come with an Ultra-Fresh™ anti-microbial coating that eliminates the MRSA superbug and other harmful microorganisms on contact. Additionally, these blinds are machine washable, ensuring they remain fresh and hygienic for extended periods. These features make our blinds ideal for healthcare settings where cleanliness and infection control are paramount. We take pride in offering competitive prices while delivering a product that meets the highest standards of performance and safety.

  • Hospitals
  • Care Homes
  • Doctors Surgeries
  • Dentists
  • Residential Homes
  • Elderly Care
  • Sure Start Centres
  • Waiting Rooms

 

Our range of blinds have been carefully chosen with durability and low maintenance in mind. We understand that cost is can be a major concern so we have endeavored to offer our products at extremely competitive prices without sacrificing the highest quality. A large selection of our fabrics are available with ‘Ultra-Fresh’ anti-microbial coating, which kills the MRSA superbug (amongst others) upon contact and they are also machine washable, keeping them fresh for longer.

Having blinds in a Healthcare setting provides you with a world of advantages you may never have thought of, such as:

  1. Privacy: Blinds help to maintain patient privacy by blocking the view from outside the room. This is crucial for ensuring patients have a comfortable and confidential environment during their stay.
  2. Light control: They allow staff and patients to adjust the amount of natural light entering the room, which can be essential for patient comfort, recovery, and overall well-being.
  3. Infection control: Hospital blinds are often made of materials that can be easily cleaned and disinfected, helping to reduce the risk of infection transmission in medical settings.
  4. Temperature control: They can also help regulate the room’s temperature by blocking or allowing sunlight, making the space more comfortable for patients.

 

Specialised coatings and finishes we offer to the Healthcare sector:

  1. Ultra-Fresh Technology Fabrics: This antimicrobial treatment offers proven protection from microbial attack by controlling the growth of unwanted microbes. When treated with Ultra-Fresh the fabric provides protection against the growth of odour-causing bacteria, fungi, mildew and moulds. It also prevents stains that can be caused by bacteria and fungi resulting in fabric that is fresher and cleaner for longer. Ultra-Fresh is recommended for use in the healthcare sector, care homes, catering facilities, schools and nurseries. With a wide range of light filtering and blackout FR fabrics available for the commercial market, it makes sense to choose window blinds treated with Ultra-fresh where antimicrobial protection is of particular importance.
  2. Coronasafe Coatings:  It is essential to make areas where people gather as safe as possible and protect against the spread of coronavirus. The unique CoronaSafe™ formula offers proven protection eliminating 99% of coronavirus from the fabric’s surface within an hour. An hour! A tremendous result when, according to the internationally recognised medical journal, The Lancet, cloth can retain the virus for up to 2 days. Where extra protection is needed, in hospitality, offices, care homes, healthcare sectors, schools, nurseries and in the home, use CoronaSafe™ window blinds in Carnival or Carnival Blackout fabric.
  3. Anti-Ligature Devices: The use of additional safety devices may reduce the risk of strangulation or injury but cannot be considered foolproof. Persons in charge of children and vulnerable people are ultimately responsible for following the safety instructions provided by us the manufacturer. It is a requirement by law that new blinds must be ‘safe by design’ or be supplied with appropriate child safety devices installed. The regulations apply in the following circumstances; Where there is a loop present in a blind it will be fitted during the manufacture with a safety device that will break under pressure. Safety devices will also be supplied to secure the cord to a wall. The standard also imposes a maximum cord and chain length and minimum fixing heights. This directly affects the minimum distance a looped control cord can be from the floor, and must (in most cases) be fixed to a wall/frame if installed by us. A1 Blinds install all blinds to comply with these regulations. We also offer a free site survey to inspect existing blinds in public buildings including schools, hospitals and offices. We will provide a detailed report on all blinds that either meet or do not meet the compliance (EN13120) and will advise on the best way to comply with the new law.
  4. Cubical Curtains & Trackings: Our cubicle tracking programme includes innovative products such as mobile cubicle track systems for flexible use of space in hospital departments such as Accident and Emergency and overhead intravenous track systems. To complement our track systems we offer disposable cubicle curtains, including the Easy-Fit product which reduces replacement times dramatically. Our disposable cubicle curtains are treated with Endurocide antibacterial formulation and they are 100% recyclable.
Come Rain (or Shine) Window Coverings

Come Rain (or Shine) Window Coverings

On average, the North East of England receives around 700 to 900 millimetres (27 to 35 inches) of rainfall per year. This makes it one of the wetter regions in the United Kingdom, but it is not as rainy as some areas in the western parts of the country, such as Wales or the Lake District.

Indoor blinds can provide several benefits during rainy weather, especially for homes or buildings with windows. Here’s how indoor blinds can help in the rain:

  1. Rainwater protection: Indoor blinds act as a barrier between the rain and the interior of your home. When properly closed, blinds prevent rainwater from splashing onto windows and seeping inside, helping to keep your living spaces dry and free from water damage.
  2. Moisture control: Rainy weather can sometimes increase the humidity levels inside your home. By closing the blinds, you can create a barrier that reduces the amount of moisture entering your living spaces, helping to maintain a more comfortable and balanced indoor environment.
  3. Protecting furniture and belongings: Closing indoor blinds during rainstorms can protect your furniture, electronics, and other valuable items from potential water damage. This is especially important for windows close to furniture or delicate decor that could be negatively affected by moisture.
  4. Reducing window condensation: During rain and cooler temperatures, windows can become colder than the indoor air, leading to condensation. Closing blinds can help to minimize this effect by creating an extra layer of insulation and reducing the temperature difference between the window surface and the indoor air.
  5. Privacy: Rainy weather often means reduced visibility outside due to water on windows and low light conditions. Closing the blinds can provide an added layer of privacy, making it more difficult for people outside to see into your home.
  6. UV protection: Some indoor blinds are designed to block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. Even on rainy days, UV rays can penetrate clouds and reach your windows. Closing the blinds can offer additional protection against these rays, preventing potential damage to your skin and indoor furnishings.

Our free home consultations are an opportunity for you to talk to one of our expert team members about the space you have on offer, your requirements and also any concerns you might have. This is also an excellent opportunity to discuss decor, colour schemes and pattern styles. Our team will come armed with samples and style guides to ensure you get a full insight into what is available to you.

Our team do not work on commission so you will be put under no pressure to buy.  We will simply give you a quotation on the day (valid for 30 days) and leave you time to think it over and discuss it with your family.

Flame Retardant Blinds For Commercial Properties

Flame Retardant Blinds For Commercial Properties

Fire retardant blinds are specifically engineered to prevent the rapid spread of fire in the event of an incident. In settings where safety is of utmost importance, such as commercial establishments, the presence of flame retardant blinds becomes crucial and in most cases in the UK, required by law.  This is because of their effectiveness in reducing the potential for injuries or loss of life. Here are some reasons why fire retardant blinds are a MUST:

 

  1. Safety: The primary purpose of fire retardant blinds is to enhance fire safety. In the event of a fire incident, these specialised window treatments are designed to resist the spread of fire, helping to contain it within a limited area.
  2. Injury and Loss Prevention: Fire retardant blinds can significantly reduce the risk of injuries and loss of life. By impeding the fire’s progression, they provide valuable time for building occupants to evacuate safely and for emergency responders to contain the fire effectively.
  3. Property Protection: In commercial settings, fire incidents can lead to extensive property damage. Fire retardant blinds can help protect the interior and contents of buildings, minimizing the financial and emotional impact of a fire-related disaster.
  4. Insurance Requirements: Insurance policies for commercial properties may stipulate the implementation of fire safety measures, including fire retardant blinds. Compliance with such requirements is crucial for maintaining insurance coverage and ensuring claims are valid in case of a fire-related incident.
  5. Peace of Mind: Fire retardant blinds provide peace of mind for building owners, occupants, and visitors, knowing that there are measures in place to mitigate the risk and impact of a potential fire.

 

Overall, fire retardant blinds play a critical role in creating a safer environment in commercial settings, offering protection against fire hazards and contributing to the overall fire safety strategy of a building

 

Do A1 Blinds fire retardant blinds comply with UK laws?

Yes! Our flame retardant blinds adhere to safety regulations in both the UK and Europe. They have undergone rigorous testing and comply with all fire safety standards. Our diverse selection of flame retardant blinds includes Roller Blinds, Vertical Blinds and Venetian blinds – each available in a wide range of colours and fabrics that caters to the specific requirements of various commercial environments.

Who can benefit the most from fire retardant blinds?

Everyone! Although it is not required by law for ALL commercial buildings to have fire retardant blinds, it is the sensible option.  Fires can start and devastate any building and having fire resistant window coverings can help to prevent the spread of flames and keep the fire under control, possibly protecting your building and potentially your livelihood. 

I want my building to look appealing, is this possible with fire retardant blinds?

Unlike curtains, vertical blinds won’t get in the way of the sun. Enjoy a sleek-looking installation that performs as well as it looks.

Customisable Design

Our entire range of vertical blinds is made to measure as standard. This means the blinds will perfectly fit the window or door, with no light being able to sneak through the gaps. It also allows customers to choose the exact blind they want for their residential or commercial project.

Choose from a broad array of fabrics, colours, and materials. Whether you want something subtle that fits into your existing space or something that makes a bold statement, we can help. Our robust fabrics are resistant to wear and discolouration, and our blinds are less likely to fold and crease.

Flexible Control

Another benefit of vertical blinds is how much light control they give Whitley Bay customers. Vertical blinds feature adjustable slats, which allow you to achieve the perfect amount of light or privacy. Tilt and turn the blinds to create a bright and welcoming room, or close them for an almost blackout effect.

Uses for Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are ideal for large windows and patio doors thanks to their larger slats and vertical profile. This style of blind will add height and dimension to both the profile and your room. These designs will add a stylish flair to a window or door, offering enhanced privacy and thermal efficiency as well as creating a focal point.

Vertical blinds can also be crafted to fit any angle or at uneven heights, making these installations ideal for shaped windows. One of the benefits of this style of blind is that it flatters the proportions of any window or door shape.

Vertical blinds can be fitted into any type of workspace, from clinics to offices. They are popularly added to a range of rooms in a Whitley Bay home. Minimise glare in conservatories or orangeries, or help reduce the glare of computer screens in an office. The blackout properties of these blinds make them ideal for bedrooms, as they can block out any external light that could disturb a good night’s sleep.

Vertical Blinds Gateshead

Update the look and performance of residential or commercial spaces with our vertical blinds. We manufacture all our vertical blinds in house, ensuring that they are high quality and entirely made to measure.

How Vertical Blinds Operate

Vertical blinds feature vertical lengths of fabric that are clipped to a sliding track at the top and operate with a chain. These pieces of fabric are known as slats and are joined together by weights to ensure they protect your space from the glare of sunlight or prying eyes. These slats are joined together by a chain at the bottom, which works to stabilise the structure.

Vertical blinds are one of the most versatile designs in the industry, which is why they have such endearing popularity. Although they appear straightforward, they come with a diverse range of design and performance benefits. 

The key benefit of these blinds is that they allow you to enjoy ultimate control over the privacy and light of an environment. Tilt and turn the vertical slats depending on how bright you want the room to be. Draw them back to open up the space to natural light, or close them up to enhance privacy.

What types of Windows And Doors Best Suit Vertical Blinds?

All our vertical blinds are made to measure and are available in a host of sizes. Thanks to their build, these slats are weighted together and can be adjusted for any length of window or door. Whether you want to dress a small casement window or expansive panes of glazing, we will be able to install a blind for you.

If you have a challenging window space that is sloped or has a split drop, vertical blinds are the perfect installation. Vertical blinds are also commonly installed in conservatories and orangeries because they can cover large windows.

Performance Benefits of Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds have a host of performance benefits, making them a fantastic investment for Gateshead homes. They enable you to control the amount of light allowed to flood your property without sacrificing privacy. 

The innovative tilt and turn mechanism can be used to allow the slats to be opened at varying degrees. This style of blind is an ideal choice for lounges and office spaces, as it can minimise the glare from the sun. Concentrate on your screen or watch TV in peace, even on a sunny day.

If you are concerned about the privacy of your Gateshead home or business, these vertical blinds can protect your space from prying eyes. These blinds are ideal if you are concerned about onlookers peering into your space. You can sleep better by protecting your eyes from glare from streetlights and your furniture or valuables from the harsh ultraviolet rays.

Bespoke Designs

We hand over design control to our Gateshead customers to ensure they are completely satisfied with the installation. Whether you want a vertical design that blends in with your existing interior design or something that makes a big impact, we will be able to help.

Our expert team will work with customers to ensure their design is perfect for their Gateshead property. We offer a broad array of customisation options, including a selection of materials, fabrics, and hardware. All the materials are long-lasting and won’t fade when left in direct sunlight.

How to Clean Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds are crafted using durable and hard-wearing fabrics, which means they require minimal maintenance to keep them looking as good as the day we install them in Gateshead homes. These designs are ideal for offices, clinics, and professional spaces.

Simply wipe the slats down with a damp cloth every now and then to ensure that the damp and dirt are removed with ease. Unlike horizontal blinds, these vertical designs will not collect grime and debris. Some of the fabrics and materials used are even machine-washable. 

Where To Install Vertical Blinds

Blackout vertical blinds will help block out more light than other blinds commonly used. Blackout blinds will allow you to enjoy a totally dark room, which is ideal for bedrooms. Draw these designs back to flood the room with light in the daytime.

Vertical blinds are also an ideal choice for Gateshead rooms with large windows, which would struggle to accommodate horizontal or roller blinds.

Thermal Efficiency

Our entire range of blinds will help you improve your Sunderland space’s energy efficiency. Blinds add an extra insulating layer up at your windows or doors, which helps to keep the warmth in and stops it from escaping through the profiles.
