Brennan and the team at Coverings did a superb and neat job of the new floor. Definitely would recommend and use again in future.

Jesse Stowers

These guys are fantastic! We had some very specific requirements and they surpassed our expectations at every step. Even when we’ve had minor ‘settling’ issues they’ve responded efficiently and effectively. Cannot recommend enough.

rob hood

We dealt with Mel throughout the whole process & it was honestly refreshing to work with someone who genuinely enjoys what they do. Even when we had tricky questions, nothing ever felt like too much trouble. She helped us choose a great flooring option for our new home, sourced specific products we were after & showed excellent product knowledge throughout. The entire process felt easy with clear & consistent communication. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

Do Roman blinds look better inside or outside the window?

The placement of Roman blinds inside or outside the window depends on personal preference and the specific circumstances of the window and the surrounding decor.

If you’re looking to weigh up your options, here are some factors to consider:

Inside Mount: Installing Roman blinds inside the window frame can create a clean and streamlined look. This method allows the blinds to fit within the window recess, providing a neat appearance and maximising the visible glass area. Inside mounting is often preferred when there are attractive window frames or architectural details that you want to showcase.

Outside Mount: Mounting Roman blinds outside the window frame can visually enlarge the window and make it appear larger. It can also help block more light and provide increased privacy. Outside mounting is commonly chosen when the window frames are unattractive or when there is the limited depth within the window recess.

Ultimately, the choice between inside and outside mounting should be based on your personal style, the specific characteristics of the window, and the overall aesthetic you wish to achieve in your space.

Are Roman blinds better than curtains?

You’re the best person to answer this question! The ‘Roman blinds vs. Curtains’ debate depends on various factors, including personal preference, the desired aesthetic, functional requirements, and the specific characteristics of the space. Here are some points to consider when comparing Roman blinds and curtains:

Style and Aesthetics: Roman blinds offer a clean and tailored look, providing a contemporary or minimalist aesthetic to a room. They are available in a wide range of fabrics, patterns, and colours, allowing for versatility in design. On the other hand, curtains can create a softer, more traditional or luxurious feel. They come in various fabric choices, textures, and designs, offering a wider range of decorative options.

Light Control and Privacy: Roman blinds can provide effective light control when fitted with blackout lining or thicker fabrics. They can be adjusted to partially or fully cover the window, allowing for flexibility in light filtering. Curtains can also offer light control, depending on the fabric used and whether they have an additional lining. However, curtains generally have more folds and can create a greater barrier against light penetration when fully closed.

Space and Versatility: Roman blinds are often a preferred choice for smaller spaces or windows close to walls, as they take up less space compared to curtains. They are a good option for windows with limited wall clearance or when you want to maintain a sleek and unobstructed look. Curtains, on the other hand, can add a sense of grandeur and elegance, especially when using floor-length panels.

Maintenance and Cleaning: Roman blinds are generally easier to clean and maintain compared to curtains. They can be vacuumed or spot cleaned, and some fabric options are even machine washable. Curtains may require regular washing or dry cleaning, depending on the fabric, and their maintenance can be more time-consuming.

Cost: The cost of Roman blinds and curtains can vary depending on factors such as fabric quality, size, customisation, and installation requirements. In general, Roman blinds tend to be more affordable than curtains, especially when considering high-quality materials.

Are Roman blinds difficult to maintain?

Roman blinds are generally easy to maintain and care for, especially when compared to some other window treatments like curtains. Here are a few points to consider regarding the maintenance of Roman blinds:

Regular Dusting: Dusting Roman blinds regularly helps keep them clean and free from debris. You can use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner or a duster to gently remove dust from the surface of the blinds. This should be done at least once a month or as needed.

Spot Cleaning: If there are any stains or spots on the blinds, spot cleaning can be done using a mild detergent or a fabric cleaner. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer or consult the care label on the blinds for specific cleaning instructions.

Machine-Washable Options: Some Roman blinds are designed to be machine-washable, which makes the cleaning process even easier. Check the care instructions for your specific blinds to determine if they can be machine washed. If so, remove any plastic or metal components, and wash the blinds according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Professional Cleaning: In some cases, if the blinds are heavily soiled or require specialised cleaning, it may be best to seek professional cleaning services. They have the expertise and equipment to clean the blinds effectively without causing any damage.

Prevention: Taking preventive measures can help maintain the condition of Roman blinds. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture, as it can cause damage to the fabric or mechanisms. Be cautious with any sharp objects around the blinds to prevent accidental tearing or puncturing.

By following these maintenance tips and keeping up with regular cleaning routines, you can ensure that your Roman blinds remain in good condition and continue to enhance the aesthetics of your space.

Do Roman blinds keep out the cold?

Roman blinds can provide some insulation and help to reduce heat loss in a room, but their effectiveness in keeping out cold air will depend on various factors, including the fabric used, the level of insulation in the blinds, and how well they fit the window.

Here are some considerations regarding the ability of Roman blinds to keep out cold:

Fabric Selection: The choice of fabric for your Roman blinds can impact their insulation properties. Thicker and heavier fabrics, such as thermal or blackout fabrics, tend to offer better insulation and can help reduce heat loss through the window. These types of fabrics have higher thermal resistance and can create a barrier against cold air.

Lining: The addition of a lining can enhance their insulation capabilities. Lining materials, such as thermal or blackout linings, provide an extra layer of insulation between the window and the room. They can help block drafts and reduce heat transfer, thus improving the energy efficiency of the blinds.

Fit and Installation: Proper installation and ensuring a snug fit of Roman blinds are crucial for maximising their ability to keep out cold air. Gaps or spaces around the edges of the blinds can allow cold air to seep into the room. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions or consult a professional to ensure the blinds are properly installed and fit the window tightly.

Complementary Measures: While Roman blinds can help with insulation, they are just one component of a comprehensive approach to energy efficiency. To further enhance the insulation properties of your windows, you can consider using weatherstripping or draft excluders around the window frames and using double-glazed windows for better thermal performance.

It’s important to note that while Roman blinds can contribute to reducing heat loss and improving insulation, they may not provide the same level of insulation as heavier window treatments like thermal curtains or window blinds with honeycomb or cellular construction.
