Your Questions Answered
FAQ: Sail Blinds
Q: What are Sail Blinds?
A: Sail Blinds are a modern and stylish alternative to traditional blinds or curtains. Designed from stretched fabric panels, they create a soft, floating effect while offering excellent control of light, glare, and privacy. Their unique design makes them especially popular in conservatories, roof lanterns, and gable-end windows, where traditional blinds may not be practical.
Q: What windows are best suited for Sail Blinds?
A: Sail Blinds are particularly effective for:
Large windows and roof glazing – offering shade without blocking all the light.
Conservatory roofs – helping to reduce heat in summer while softening glare.
Shaped or gable-end windows – where their flexible design can be tailored to unusual dimensions.
Q: What colours are available?
A: Sail Blinds come in a wide range of fabrics, from subtle neutrals to bold, vibrant shades. Fabrics are available in light-filtering or blackout options, allowing you to match both your style and functional requirements.
Q: What variations are there?
A: Sail Blinds can be customised with different fabrics and finishes. Options include:
Light-filtering fabrics – to reduce glare while maintaining natural light.
Blackout fabrics – ideal for bedrooms or media rooms.
Custom shapes and sizes – tailored to fit complex or unique window designs.
Q: Can Sail Blinds be motorised?
A: Yes. Sail Blinds can be motorised for effortless operation, allowing you to adjust them with a remote control, wall switch, or even a smartphone app when integrated into a home automation system.
Q: How long do Sail Blinds take to make?
A: Manufacturing time varies depending on size and fabric choice, but Sail Blinds typically take 3–5 weeks to produce.
Q: Are there any disadvantages?
A: The main consideration is cleaning and maintenance—as fabric panels, Sail Blinds may occasionally need to be removed and cleaned. However, many fabrics are machine washable, making them practical as well as stylish.
Q: How long do Sail Blinds last?
A: With high-quality fabrics and professional installation, Sail Blinds can last 5–10 years or more. Regular care will help maintain their look and performance.
