Our longevity and expertise in commercial blind manufacturing and installation is second to none.

Here’s what makes us different from all the other suppliers out there:

Reliability Guaranteed. 10 Year Life cycle tested.

We know that blinds installed in most commercial environments will be operated more robustly than those in your home. So, reliability is at the top of our list.

That’s why the components used in our vertical and roller blinds are UK made and have been 10 year life-cycle tested.

Need your blinds quickly?

Because we make our own blinds, we can provide an express installation service on Vertical and Roller blinds.

That means you could have your blinds fitted inside a week.

Your blinds will be made in our own factory.

This is important because the only way we can guarantee the quality and reliability of your blinds is simply to make them ourselves.

Your Vertical and Roller blinds will be made in our Leicester factory.

We are a WHICH? Trusted Trader.

This is a big deal! The accreditation is massive and we’re the only blinds company in Leicestershire to have this status.

You can rest assured that our product and service standards are better than anywhere else.

*In 2022 we installed over 10,500 blinds in Leicestershire…

Since the end of the Second World War, we’ve installed over 550,000 blinds which is completely unprecedented. No one else in Leicester fits as many blinds or has as many delighted customers as we have.

You know you’re dealing with genuine experts with unparalleled experience.

*PHIL: can we update this?^^^

All our staff are employed and qualified.

Sounds obvious but it’s not the case with many of our competitors. They sub-contract out the fitting of blinds so you miss out on the expert knowledge and vast experience.

All our staff who wear the Barlow Blinds uniform and represent our company are employed by us.

For your peace of mind, our measuring and installation teams are chosen by us, trained by us, are DBS checked, and have all the relevant health and safety qualifications.
