Custom Cellular Blinds Bronte – Free Installation

They stretch the shoulder season rather than turn it into a heated room. A double cell on every wall of glass cuts the heat pouring back out through the panes after dark and keeps the room from swinging so hard between afternoon and midnight. With no heat source in there it still goes cold by December. Paired with a small heater, the difference is easy to feel.

The fabric is opaque, the edges are not. An inside-mount shade sits a few millimetres clear of the frame on each side so it can travel, and that clearance is where light gets past. Side channels close the gap and they add hardware you can see on the face of the window. An outside mount that overlaps the frame generously is the simpler fix in most bedrooms.

Yes, with a decision to make. We measure the width at the top, middle and bottom and cut to the narrowest, which leaves a wedge of gap at the wider end. On an opening more than about 10 mm out of true, that gap is visible and an outside mount covering the whole frame looks better. Cellular fabric cannot be cut on an angle, so it is one or the other.

They can. Most cellular fabrics are built with a white or off-white back regardless of the room-side colour, so a house with grey shades in one room and cream in another still reads consistent from the street. If a fabric happens to be coloured through, we flag it at the quote. On a village street where the front elevation is on show, that detail is worth checking.
