Latest Trends in Window CoveringsPeople are generally looking for window coverings that are aesthetically appealing but also provide privacy, climate control, security and a green solution assisting them in reducing their carbon emissions.

Window coverings can be categorised into several groups – Internal and External, Slatted e.g. Venetians, Soft Shades e.g. Pleated, Soft Furnishings e.g. Curtains, Plantation Shutters, Verticals, Opaque & Light Filtering and Awnings e.g. Sunblinds.

The most popular blinds at present are Rollerscreens which allow you to retain your view while keeping your privacy (please note in the evening while the lights are on the view alters) this is known as Dimensional Illumination Variance. Plantation Shutters are also extremely popular, typically they are made from cedar or composite materials of timber, extremely elegant and made like a fine piece of furniture, extremely practical as you can have them blockout the light or depending on the adjustment of the blade retain your views and they are available in sliding, swinging or bi-folding. Motorisation is also becoming popular, commercially more than domestic, however the domestic market is growing rapidly.

A new addition to the range is “Victory’s Today Awnings” which are exclusive to Victory Curtains and Blinds. They have contemporary sleek lines, a powder coated finish and they can be colour matched to suit your home.
