SBI can make to measure a stunning range of conservatory blinds. The latest innovations in window blinds are the Perfect Fit system that simply clips on to your window - no more drilling! Perfect Fit Venetians.

Perfect Fit Venetian blinds enable you regulate how much light you want in your conservatory, by simply twisting a wand they open or close. You can also pull the blind up for maximum visibility when you want an unobstructed view.

Here we see Perfect Fit 20mm pleated window and door blinds. The blinds are clipped on to the doors and windows using a very clever bracket that slides between the glass and the frame. When you open the door or window your blind moves with it.

To open the pleated blinds you simply lift or lower the blinds via a discreet handle. The blinds are effortlessly open or closed.

SBI have been successfully installing pleated blinds in conservatories for over 10 years. Our trained designers can advise you on colour schemes to complement your decor.

One of the many advantages of installing the blinds directly on to the doors and windows are the blinds will not blow around if the doors are left open. Free hanging blinds tend to get damaged with either children or pets running through them.

All of the window and doors are dressed individually, so you can choose what you want open or closed.

When the blinds are closed you get a nice neat and uniformed look. Because Venetian blinds are made from aluminium they act like a virtual black out blind giving good levels of privacy.

SBI also fit a wide range of Perfect Fit roller blinds. As you can see the roller fits neatly behind the cassette housing to give a tailored finish to the blind.

The weaves come in different thickness and a choice of coloured braids to add that personal touch.

If you decide that you want to keep out the heat and give good levels of privacy, choose a tightly woven blind as this example demonstrates.

If you would prefer to have more light in the conservatory go for a more open weave as shown here.

If you prefer the look of fabric Roman blinds SBI have a wealth of materials for you to choose from.

Roman style blinds look very smart in Natural Weaves as well as fabrics.
