The Advantages of Made to Measure Blinds
Most things we buy for our properties have to be unique to them or we are left with something that is far too big or is dwarfed by the room surrounding it. This is just as, if not more relevant, when it comes to the blinds that adorn your windows or doors and create a look of luxury combined with the utmost practicality. Blinds that aren’t professionally made to measure will not convey the quality look you wish them to, but luckily you’ve come to the right place, as here at Controlux Blinds we specialise in made to measure blinds Putney.
The main advantages of having your Venetian, wood weave, panel, or any of the many other style blinds we stock made to measure are:
Appearance
Window blinds that aren’t made to measure will look cheap no matter how much you have paid for them and will look wrong from both the inside and outside when looking through your UPVC windows Reading. Blinds that are too small will of course let in light, create problems with safety and never truly create a seal when closed.
Using our skills and affordable blinds will ensure that they are presented how they are supposed to and provide the sleek, stylish look that is intended – being both easier to clean than curtains and looking like new for longer, without the worries of fraying and absorbing bad smells.
Practicality
Blinds should be easy to open, close and pull up or down. Blinds that aren’t made to measure (especially those that are too big), will scrape along the walls on either side – not only damaging your property, but also proving difficult to use. Our made to measure blinds provide seamless usability that exudes luxury and ease.
Blinds that aren’t made to measure cannot even compare to those that are, so if you’re planning on updating the look of a room or entire property with a certain style of blind, make sure to call us on 0800 955 6088 for our made to measure blinds Putney.

Finding Advice about Awning Safety in Kingston
An awning is a perfect way to create a space to enjoy whatever the weather, and during summer an awning can help to keep your home cool and comfortable. Awnings Kingston Upon Thames are a truly versatile way to transform the exterior of your home into a useable space which allows you to enjoy your patio throughout the year.
When you have purchased your new awning from the specialists here at Controlux, be sure to keep in mind the following safety tips to ensure that days spent under your awning are happy ones.
Keep an Eye on the Weather
Although many awnings are treated with special coatings, they can still suffer from the effects of the elements, particularly during harsh winters. If your awning is unused during the winter, when you try to use it again you may find that the metal parts of its mechanism have corroded. An awning which is damaged can be unsafe, so if yours has suffered a few years of wear and tear, it may be time to replace it with a new design from Controlux.
Some of our motorised awnings feature sun and wind sensors, allowing them to extend automatically on sunny days and retract out of harm’s way during high winds. These features can help ensure that your awning remains safe at all times.
Pay Attention to Building Regulations
Building regulations state that any electrical installation carried out at a domestic property must be completed safely and professionally. To guarantee that your automated awnings Kingston Upon Thames are of the highest quality, choose Controlux to supply and fit your awning.
We are members of the British Blind and Shutter Association, which means we are an established company whom you can rely on to provide a professional service. We are committed to training our staff to the highest level, and health and safety is our priority.
If you need any further safety advice regarding awnings Kingston Upon Thames, then our expert team will be happy to help. To enjoy an outdoor space which makes a great finishing touch to your garden design London, choose modern awnings from Controlux.

Tips for Cleaning Vertical Blinds Sutton
Blinds are the new nets. They offer privacy, without reducing the design of your interior living space. However, like nets vertical blinds Sutton need to be cleaned as well. Without regular cleaning dust can build-up on the blinds, causing them to look dirty and tired. To keep your house looking fresh and unsoiled, the team at Controlux have devised a handy little guide, outlining essential tips for when you come to clean your vertical blinds.
Tip One: Regular Maintenance
Our top tip for many of our customers is to develop a routine to dust their blinds. This reduces the amount of dirt build-up and means that your blinds are kept looking fresh and new for longer. If you leave your blinds without any attention the dirt will soil your blinds, meaning that you will have to spend more time and energy cleaning them or contract professional cleaning services London to thoroughly clean them for you.
When dusting your blinds, you can either use a cloth or your vacuum. There are special apparatus available specifically designed to hoover vertical blinds. This is great, as you can give your blinds a quick hoover while vacuuming the room itself.
Tip Two: Cleaning
The material/fabric of your vertical blinds will determine how they should be cleaned. If they are fabric, then you will need to use a damp cloth and gently wipe the surface. You should ensure that you do not rub too hard in one area as this can cause damage.
If you have wooden, vinyl or aluminium you should lay the louvres on a flat surface and gently wipe down the surface with a cloth and wet soapy sponge. Following this, you should ensure that you have dried them with a separate cloth, as this will reduce any water marks or stains which could otherwise occur.
If you would like more information on how to care for your vertical blinds Sutton, do not hesitate to contact Controlux today. We are always happy to help, and our expertise in the industry means that we have the capability to give you useful advice. Contact us today on 0800 955 6088 for more information.
