Georgian windows are beautiful but leave you exposed. Our bespoke shutters, window shutters, and blinds give you privacy whilst complementing your home’s architectural heritage.
Energy Bills Eating Your Budget?
Bath’s period properties are notorious for draughty windows. Plantation shutters can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 28%, helping to keep your home warm in winter. Our thermal blinds and insulated shutters can reduce heating costs by up to 25%. Window shutters also provide excellent thermal insulation, keeping spaces warm in winter and cool in summer.

Why Bath Homes Need Professional Window Treatments
The Bath Property Challenge
Bath’s beautiful period properties come with unique window treatment challenges:
Georgian Sash Windows – Tall, elegant, but draughty and exposed
Victorian Features – Arched windows, bay windows, unusual shapes
Listed Building Restrictions – Conservation requirements need expertise
Single Glazing – Common in period properties, needs thermal help
Street-Facing Properties – Privacy concerns in terraced townhouses
When choosing blinds for bathrooms in Bath’s period homes, selecting the right materials is crucial. The primary factor is ensuring your window dressings are moisture-resistant or waterproof to prevent mould and mildew. Avoid real wood, cotton, linen, and silk fabrics in bathrooms, as these materials absorb moisture and are prone to damage. Instead, opt for waterproof materials like PVC, vinyl, or aluminum, which resist warping, mould, and mildew. These surfaces can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth, making them ideal for high-humidity environments. Excellent light control is also achievable with moisture-resistant options such as PVC, vinyl, faux wood, or aluminum. Aluminum Venetian blinds are exceptionally durable and water-resistant, making them suitable for bathrooms with minimal ventilation. For windows in direct splash zones, waterproof PVC roller blinds are practical, and PVC or vinyl roller blinds are 100% waterproof and easy to clean—perfect for wet areas like shower rooms.
