Made-to-Measure Blinds in Acklam

Acklam is one of Middlesbrough's most established residential areas, with 1930s semis, larger detached homes around Acklam Hall and newer estates towards Brookfield. You'll find bay windows, porches and patio doors throughout, and each benefits from a slightly different approach — we'll talk you through what works best for yours.

We cover all of Acklam, including Brookfield and Trimdon, as well as neighbouring Linthorpe, Hemlington and Thornaby, and the rest of Middlesbrough.

Blinds for porches, patio doors and bedrooms in Acklam

Beyond the front bay, most Acklam homes have a mix of windows that each need something a little different. Porches often have narrow side panels, where a slim roller or Venetian blind keeps things tidy. Patio and French doors at the back are used every day, so we'd usually suggest a blind that stays out of the way of the handles and opens easily, such as a vertical blind or a Perfect Fit® blind fitted to the door glass itself. In bedrooms, a blackout roller fitted just outside the recess is a common choice, as it cuts down the light around the edges.

Wooden and faux wood blinds in Acklam homes

Many 1930s houses suit the warmer look of slatted blinds. Wooden blinds work well in living and dining rooms, and the slats tilt so you can angle light up towards the ceiling while keeping privacy from the street. For kitchens and bathrooms, faux wood gives a similar look but copes much better with steam and can be wiped clean. If you'd like to go a step further, we can fit Somfy motors to many blind types, so a wide or hard-to-reach window opens with a remote or on a timer.
