Question 7

What are the best blinds for a bedroom in Galway?

Accepted Answer

For bedrooms, we recommend blackout roller blinds — they block out light completely, which is especially handy during bright Galway summers. Perfect fit blinds are another great option if you have uPVC windows, as they sit flush in the frame with no light gaps.

Question 8

What blinds are best for a kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Roller blinds with a wipeable PVC fabric are ideal for kitchens — they're easy to clean and moisture-resistant. We also fit vertical blinds for larger kitchen windows and sliding patio doors.

Question 9

Are shutters worth it?

Accepted Answer

Shutters are a premium option, but they last decades, add value to your home, and look stunning. They're particularly popular in period homes around Galway's Latin Quarter and Westport townhouses. They offer excellent insulation, privacy, and light control — and they never need replacing like fabric blinds.

Question 10

What are vision blinds?

Accepted Answer

Vision blinds — also called day & night blinds or zebra blinds — have alternating sheer and opaque stripes that you can adjust for privacy or light. They're a modern, stylish option that's become very popular in living rooms and bedrooms across Galway.

Question 11

What are perfect fit blinds?

Accepted Answer

Perfect fit blinds clip directly into your uPVC window or door frame — no drilling, no screws. They sit flush inside the frame, so they don't interfere with handles or opening the window. Ideal for apartments, rentals, and new builds across Galway and Castlebar.

Question 12

Do you fit blinds on bay windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes, bay windows are one of our specialities. We measure each section individually and fit blinds that follow the angles perfectly. Very common in older Galway homes — we've fitted hundreds of them.

Question 13

Can you fit blinds on Velux or skylight windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we supply and fit blinds for Velux and skylight windows. These are made to measure for your exact Velux model and come with blackout options — perfect for attic bedrooms.

Question 14

How long does it take to get blinds fitted in Galway?

Question 16

Do I need to be home for the fitting?
