Roller blinds are one of the most popular blinds in the Sunway range, and the range has now been made even better. With 150 colours to choose from in this refreshed collection there is more choice than ever.
There will be new Fire retardant fabrics along with wider patterned materials and some bright colours like Hot Pink and Lime in the new Empire range. The accessories such as braids and pulls will now include leather, acrylic and metallic options.
Sunway blinds are an affordable stylish range and with the latest update of colours and style providing stunning options for you to choose from there will be something to suit every home or office.
It’s easy with the new options to make a feature of your window, add a splash of colour or pattern to your room, or update it to feel refreshed and modern. Many designers opt for blinds to add that special touch, and Roller blinds have always been a popular option from Sunway.

With the summer temperatures it’s hard to keep cool, especially at night, but your choice of window dressing can play an important part and wooden window shutters can certainly help provide shade and keep the temperature down.
I have wooden window shutters in all my rooms (no surprise there!) In this heat they have played an important part in keeping the temperature down by providing much needed shade and keeping the suns rays out. Much as I hate to shut the sun out, as I often feel we don’t see much of it, it’s key to staying cool and getting a good nights sleep.
There are several ways they help:
- Shade – they allow you to angle the louvres so that you can angle the sun away from where you are sitting or working and cut down on the heat entering your room.
- Fading – the louvers have a UV filter built in to prevent the wood colour or paint fading, but angling them away from furniture also means that you can prevent furnishing or furniture fading in the harsh rays.
- Ventilation – although the louvers can be angled to prevent sun entering it still allows the air to flow freely through them, letting what little breeze there is in to circulate and cool the room.
- Blackout – you can also include the blackout option, and this prevents the rays of the sun waking you up early, but also reflects rays away, reducing the amount of heat and harsh light entering the room early in the morning. While you may not want to leave the blackout in place all day, you can while you are at work or not using a room to help keep the room temperature lower.

The Sunway Metal Venetian Blinds have been updated this year. This will mean that there will be over 100 different colours to choose from, perforated slats and new trend colours such as Lilac and Pink incorporated into the range.
A safety cord lock will now be fitted to the 16mm and 35mm standard ranges and I believe they have also changed the toggle design.
This is exciting as metal venetian blinds are extremely popular, and I have supplied them to some of the designers for ITV 60 Minute Makeover shows. They can be used to create a very modern look in almost any room in the house, and with the expanded range of colours can be used as an unusual feature or to add a splash of colour.
This year also sees new Sunway collections for Woodslat blinds, Rollers and the new Multishade blinds. Look out for my other Blog’s to keep you to date on these collections.

Sunway blinds have bought out a new wood slat range to improve their current range. This includes three new options:
Bamboo A bamboo wood slat blind boasting 5 colours and 3 slat sizes, 35, 50 and 64mm. Bamboo is environmentally friendly, fast growing, and is sustainable as it is harvested every 3-5 years making this an environmentally friendly option.
Premier Wood FSC A new hardwood from well managed forests, available in 3 wood stains with a natural grain.
Designer Wood Introducing 7 new colours in a 50mm slat size. Striking and rich designs, free from knots and other imperfections due to advanced production technology.
Faux Wood Impressions will also have two new colours, Alba and Rufa, and the standard Basswood range and Rapide wood slat blinds which have both had extra colours added to the current selection.
Look out for the new colours and materials on the website coming soon, as I will be updating my current blind section to show the new products and colours for wood slat blinds shortly.

I recently watched and read a number of interesting articles as part of Child Safety Week about window dressings, including window shutters and blinds. As a parent myself I am always interested to hear about things that may affect my family, and in particular one item focussed on safety features on blinds.
Blinds are more likely to present a hazard due to the range of cords running through them, whereas window shutters are essentially a solid fitting with few moving or expandable parts making them less of a safety issue. Many blinds are operated by cords, and these should include a safety feature which means the loop of cord can split if something falls into it or is caught in it. Consider having a hook on which the cord can be wound at a safe height away from window sills that children may climb on, or choose a blind operated by a pole rather than cords. If you are considering a wood slat blind or something with pliable slats, if there is a chance a child could get their head through it you may want to consider a material panel roller blind instead, or make sure blinds are pulled up out of reach during the day.
Window shutters can be a useful safety feature for windows that open when there are children present. The panels are held closed by magnets, but a catch can be added to prevent children from opening them and accessing windows. This can prevent children from getting to an opening window, but still allow ventilation as the window can be left open safely. There is little chance a child could get their head through the louvres as they are solid, and of course there are no cords.
If you have any questions about safety or would like further information or have any suggestions for safety please let me know, as I am keen to consider these aspects of my window shutters and blinds and share them with other parents.
