Custom Shades Excel

An expert is available to increase a home's appeal to a wider market and get a quicker sale.

Sian Wood has years of experience in preparing a house for show to maximize its value and brings this to bear at Custom Shades.

Apart from completing traditional education in interior design the expert has also studied with Ann Maurice of House Doctor fame.

She has therefore experience created stunning show homes for development companies and individuals.

She said: "Whether you need a basic budget blind to provide some privacy or a highly technical solution to reduce heating bills and reduce noise, we have a blind for you.

"They can even be used to divide areas or create a backdrop for display," she said.

Sian Wood also supplies many schools and colleges and understands customers' needs regarding budget constraints, time scales and technical requirements.

Meeting health and safety needn't mean compromising on style either, according to Sian.

In addition, blinds for classrooms, curtains for hall or dorms, awnings and parasols for playgrounds are supplied.

"Whatever your shade and style requirements, there's a solution for you," she said.

Security shutters have also been developed to provide an architecturally compatible answer to the growing need for vandalism and burglary protection on domestic and commercial property.

The unobtrusive design also helps in meeting the demands of many of the more stringent planning authorities.

Meanwhile, awnings are a great addition to any home as they provide very useful outside space enabling homeowners to enjoy the outside without being in the sun and they look really good too.

"We supply Awnings, Parasols, Patiolas, Butterfly awnings and canopies by several manufacturers including Luxaflex, Robert Shaw and Caribbean," concluded Sian.
