Made to measure blinds & shutters
Bespoke blinds and shutters for Rugby homes, from Victorian sash windows in Hillmorton to new-build estates at Houlton and Cawston.
Window coverings crafted for Rugby properties
Rugby's 19 conservation areas reflect a town rich in architectural heritage. The Victorian and Edwardian streets of Hillmorton and Bilton feature characterful sash windows, decorative bay fronts, and arched fanlights that demand made-to-measure solutions. Our shutters and blinds are built to the exact profile of these period openings, preserving their proportions while adding modern functionality.
The village of Dunchurch, recorded in the Domesday Book and renowned for its 18th-century coaching heritage, brings a different character entirely. Cottage-style windows with deep stone reveals and irregular openings require careful templating. We measure on site and manufacture to the millimetre, ensuring a precise fit regardless of the property's age or quirks.
Rugby is also one of the fastest-growing towns in the Midlands. The Houlton development on the former radio station site will deliver 6,200 new homes, while the South West Rugby allocation between Cawston, Bilton, and Dunchurch is planned for up to 5,000. These modern properties with their large-format windows and open-plan living spaces suit motorised blinds and full-height shutters with clean, contemporary lines.
Products for Rugby homes
Window coverings recommended for the property types found across Rugby CV21-CV23.
Plantation Shutters
A natural companion to Rugby's Victorian and Edwardian sash windows. Full-height or tier-on-tier configurations let you control light and privacy independently on upper and lower sashes, a practical feature for properties along busy roads like Hillmorton Road.
Roman Blinds
Soft fabric folds bring warmth and texture to period rooms. Popular in Rugby's Edwardian dining rooms and living spaces, where they complement original cornicing and picture rails without competing for attention.
Motorised Roller Blinds
Clean lines and smart home integration for Houlton and Cawston new builds. Battery-operated motors eliminate visible cords, meeting child safety regulations while offering app or voice control for hard-to-reach windows.
Outdoor Awnings
Extend your garden entertaining season with retractable awnings. Wind sensors automatically retract the fabric in gusty conditions, making them a practical addition to Rugby's exposed hilltop properties.
