Questions,
clearly answered.

Curtains sit alongside the window and need room for the fabric to stack. Roman blinds fold above the glass and can suit a more compact treatment. Compare the available wall space, window opening, fabric and lining; either can be layered with another suitable treatment. We check the practical details at survey.

They can make daily use easier when windows are high, several blinds are operated together, or manual controls are awkward. A compatible remote can be enough; app control is optional. The additional cost depends on the motor, blind size, power, controls and any wiring. Ask for manual and motorised alternatives in your quotation.

Look at the full span and drop, fabric weight, system limits, fixing surface and access to doors. A single treatment may be possible, or several blinds may give a more manageable result. We compare suitable rollers, vertical blinds, Allusion and curtains against the actual opening.

Our roller blinds are made at our Baldoyle premises, so the showroom, survey, production and installation teams can discuss the same order directly. You can compare physical samples and contact our local office for aftercare. Selected products are supplied through specialist manufacturers; we explain which approach applies before you order.

Light-filtering fabric softens daylight. Blackout fabric is opaque, although light can still enter around the edges. Sunscreen fabric helps reduce glare while retaining a daytime view, but provides less privacy after dark. We assess the fabric and fitting together.

Use our contact form and select Existing order. Include your order reference if you have it and tell us what you need help with. You can also call 01 839 5319 or email info@baldoyleblinds.com.

Yes. Our home consultation is free and there is no obligation to order. We use the visit to understand your room, measure your windows, show relevant samples and talk through the options that suit your priorities and budget.

A Baldoyle Blinds surveyor visits your home, discusses what you need from the room, checks the windows and takes accurate measurements. We bring suitable fabric, colour and finish samples so you can see them in your own light before receiving a clear quotation.

Not at all. Privacy, blackout, insulation, style and ease of use can point towards different products. Tell us what matters to you and our surveyor will narrow the choice to the best-fitting options.

Absolutely. Our showroom is at 17A Baldoyle Industrial Estate, Dublin 13, D13 V2X2. It is open 09:00–17:00 Monday to Friday and 10:00–14:00 on Saturdays, and is closed on bank holiday Saturdays and Mondays. You can see working displays, compare fabrics and finishes, and speak to our specialist team before arranging a survey.

Our regular home consultation and installation area covers Dublin, Louth, Meath, Kildare and Wicklow. For larger residential orders and commercial projects, we may be able to travel farther. Call 01 839 5319 or send a WhatsApp message with the project location and scope, and our team will confirm.

The price depends on the product, measurements, fabric or material, controls and any specialist fitting requirements. Because every window is different, we quote after surveying and measuring. We can show alternatives at different price points during the visit.

Lead times vary by product, material, order size and the time of year. Our admin and production teams monitor every order and will give you the current estimated timeframe when you order, then keep the process moving through manufacture and installation.

Our own process is supported by a 20+ person team, with specialists for the initial call, in-home survey, order administration, production, installation and aftercare. That gives you one accountable local company from first conversation to final fitting.

Many of our made-to-measure blinds are produced in our Baldoyle facility, giving us close control over quality and timing. We also work with established specialist suppliers for selected products and materials, including shutters, roof-window systems and designer fabrics.

Removal requirements can vary by project. Please mention existing blinds, curtains or shutters when booking so the surveyor can inspect them and include the appropriate plan in your quotation.

You can pay by cash or card in our Baldoyle showroom, by card over the phone, through a personalised secure Square invoice or payment link, or by electronic funds transfer (EFT). Bank details can be requested directly from our office and should be verified with our team before payment, particularly if you receive any message suggesting that our bank details have changed. Our installation teams do not accept payments on the road, so any balance due before installation must be paid directly to the office in advance.

Secure online payments are powered by Square, with card, Apple Pay and Google Pay available where supported. When we send a personalised Square invoice or payment link, payment details are entered through Square’s service rather than the Baldoyle Blinds website. Check that the invoice shows the correct Baldoyle Blinds details, order reference and amount before paying. If anything appears incorrect, stop and contact our office on 01 839 5319.

Unless we agree otherwise in writing, an order scheduled for installation within two weeks requires full payment when confirmed. For an installation scheduled more than two weeks after confirmation, the usual arrangement is a 50% deposit with the remaining 50% paid before installation.

Please contact us in writing as soon as possible. We will consider a change or cancellation if production and purchasing have not begun. Once bespoke products have entered production, changes may not be possible and agreed costs may remain payable. Ordering a standard item from a supplier does not automatically remove your cancellation rights. This does not affect statutory rights where goods are faulty or another legal remedy applies.

Measurements supplied by a customer, builder, architect, designer or contractor are provided at the customer’s responsibility. Our free home consultation is the safest option when you would like Baldoyle Blinds to survey, manufacture and install the order using measurements taken by our team.

The fitting area should be reasonably accessible, with furniture, valuables and fragile items moved or protected. Please tell us about concealed services, unusual wall construction, restricted access or anything else that could affect safe fitting before installation.

Please inspect the products after delivery or installation and contact us promptly with your order details, a description and photographs where helpful. We ask that visible issues are reported within seven days so they can be investigated quickly; that requested timeframe does not limit your statutory rights.

Removal or disposal of existing window coverings is only included where it is stated in the quotation or order confirmation. Mention anything that needs to be removed during the survey so it can be inspected and allowed for properly.

Dates are estimates unless a particular date is expressly guaranteed in writing. We make reasonable efforts to keep orders moving and communicate significant delays, but supplier availability, transport disruption and other circumstances outside our reasonable control can affect timing.

Please check the product, quantity, fabric, colour, finish, controls, measurements, fitting location and any accessories carefully. Once the order is approved and submitted for manufacture or purchasing, changes may not be possible and any agreed change may affect both price and lead time.

Samples and photographs are useful guides, but lighting, surrounding décor, screen settings and manufacturing batches can affect appearance. Textiles and timber can also have reasonable natural variation in weave, grain, texture, drape and colour.

A quotation is based on the information, dimensions and specification available when it is prepared. It may need to be revised if those details change or, before acceptance, if relevant supplier or material costs change. An order is accepted when Baldoyle Blinds confirms it and receives the required payment.

A responsible adult should provide access at the agreed time unless another arrangement has been confirmed. If access is unavailable or the area is not ready, the visit may need to be rescheduled and a reasonable communicated additional charge may apply.

A qualified electrician must provide and connect mains supplies for hardwired motors. Battery life, radio, Wi-Fi, apps and smart-home services depend on use, signal, the home network and third-party platforms. We install and programme the window furnishing and explain what must be ready for commissioning.

Contact us as early as possible if installation must be postponed. Alternative arrangements may be agreed, although reasonable communicated charges may apply where substantial storage, repeated delivery attempts or repeated appointments result from customer delay.

Follow the care instructions supplied for the specific product and avoid excessive force, unsuitable cleaning products, excessive moisture or unauthorised alterations. Because materials differ, ask us before using a cleaning method if you are unsure.

We will not use photographs of a customer’s property for advertising, social media or promotion without permission where permission is required. You may decline without affecting your order.

Contact us promptly with your name, order details and a clear description of the concern. Photographs, video or access for inspection may be requested. We must be given a reasonable opportunity to investigate and, where appropriate, provide the remedy available under Irish consumer law.

Our range includes roller, vertical, Venetian, Roman, Allusion, double roller, cellular, VELUX and Perfect Fit blinds, as well as made-to-measure curtains, voile and sheer curtains, plantation shutters and motorised solutions.

Blackout roller, cellular and suitable VELUX blinds are common starting points, but the fabric alone is only part of the result. Window shape, fitting method and light gaps matter too, so we assess the room and explain the most effective realistic option during the survey.

Vertical and Allusion blinds work especially well across wide glazing, while curtains and some motorised systems can also be excellent choices. The best answer depends on how the doors open, furniture placement, privacy and the look you want.

Yes. We regularly assess bay windows, roof windows, doors and other less straightforward openings. Some products are better suited to particular shapes, so an accurate survey is the best way to identify a neat and practical solution.

Yes. We supply and install a range of suitable roof-window blinds, including blackout and light-filtering options, with manual, solar or electric operation available for compatible windows.

Many roller, Roman, cellular, curtain and other systems can be motorised. Depending on the product and window, control may be battery powered, solar powered or hardwired, with handset, wall control, app or compatible smart-home options.

Battery and some solar options usually avoid mains wiring. For a hardwired system, a qualified electrician must provide and connect the electrical supply. We can explain the requirements, then install, programme and test the window covering once the power is ready.

Child safety is considered when we recommend and install every product. We use appropriate safety devices and can suggest cordless or motorised controls where suitable. Our team will also explain the safe operation of your chosen system at fitting.

Warranty cover varies by product, component and manufacturer. We will confirm the applicable cover with your quotation or order paperwork, and our local aftercare team remains your first point of contact if anything needs attention.

Contact Baldoyle Blinds directly. Our dedicated aftercare team can review the issue, guide you through simple checks or arrange the appropriate next step. You can include your order reference and describe the issue in our contact form.

Yes. If the roller, mechanism and brackets are still suitable, our Baldoyle production team may be able to replace the fabric and return the blind ready to fit back into its existing brackets. We can also assess selected roller blinds for resizing, damaged-end refinishing and component replacement. This is a showroom drop-off service, primarily for roller blinds and particularly those originally manufactured by Baldoyle Blinds. Every blind is inspected before we confirm what is possible.

Yes. We survey, manufacture, coordinate and install window treatments for offices, schools, hotels, healthcare settings and multi-unit developments. Our commercial team can work with contractors, designers and facilities teams from specification through handover.

Standard shutters are not total blackout: light can enter around louvres, panels and frames. Madison offers an integrated cellular-blind option for enhanced light reduction. We’ll explain the likely result for your window before you choose.

Hampton and Nevada HS Polyvinyl faux wood are options for moisture-prone rooms. We check ventilation, splash exposure and the window position before recommending a material; hardwood is not interchangeable with faux wood in these conditions.

Many bays, arches and angled windows can be accommodated. We measure the opening and check handles, frame depth and panel clearance. Shaped, solid and tracked options depend on the selected range; the explorer shows ideas to discuss, not a confirmed specification.

We plan the shutter layout around handles, hinges and opening directions. Wide glazed doors may suit a tracked system, but panel stacking space, thresholds and everyday access need to be checked at survey.

Lead times vary by range, finish and configuration. We confirm the current estimated delivery and fitting schedule with your quotation, before you place an order.

Our team explains operation and care for your chosen material. Contact us if you need help afterwards. Warranty terms depend on the range, finish and components and are confirmed before ordering; any manufacturer’s warranty is additional to your statutory rights.

Yes. They are designed particularly well for wide glazing and frequently used doors, combining a softer appearance with access between the vanes.

Turning the opaque vanes closed increases privacy. As with all sheer fabrics, privacy is reduced when the vanes are open and the room is brighter inside than outside.

No. Closed vanes reduce light, but the construction includes gaps and sheer sections, so Allusion blinds should not be chosen as a total-blackout product.

Usually not. You can pass carefully between the fabric vanes, which makes the system convenient for regular patio-door access.

Regular gentle dusting or light vacuuming with an upholstery attachment is normally best. We provide care advice for the selected fabric.

Pleated fabric forms one crisp 20mm fold, giving a light decorative appearance. Softcell uses a 25mm honeycomb construction with enclosed cells that trap still air and provide enhanced insulation at the window.

The honeycomb pockets hold a layer of still air close to the glazing and can help reduce heat transfer. The overall improvement depends on the fabric, system, fit, window and how consistently the blind is used.

No. A blockout fabric prevents light passing through the material, but light can remain around the sides, rails or other system gaps. We explain the realistic result for the actual opening before you choose.

The fabric can be positioned within the window rather than only raised from the bottom. This is particularly useful for street-facing rooms because the lower glass can remain covered while daylight enters above.

It combines two fabrics in one system. A popular approach is an Artezen voile for softened daylight and a second dimout or blockout Softcell fabric for stronger privacy and light reduction.

The water-resistant Tribeca Softcell collection is designed for higher-moisture areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Ventilation, splash exposure, the system and the particular window are still assessed before we confirm suitability.

Perfect Fit and compatible framed systems can attach to suitable glazed units without drilling the surrounding wall. Compatibility depends on the bead depth, seals, handles and the window or door construction.

Selected systems can be motorised with compatible Cruze or Somfy equipment. Blind size, fabric, system type, power supply and preferred controls all affect the final specification.

Yes. We select relevant samples before the consultation so you can compare colour, texture and pattern in the room’s actual light.

Many suitable curtain fabrics can be paired with a room-darkening lining. The final result also depends on the heading, returns and how the track is positioned.

Yes. We measure and specify the supporting track or pole as part of the complete made-to-measure treatment, then professionally install and dress the curtains.

Compatible tracks can be motorised for wide glazing, hard-to-reach spaces or everyday convenience. We coordinate the track, power and control approach.

Lead time varies with fabric availability, heading, lining and track specification. We confirm the current estimate with your quotation rather than promising a generic timeframe.

Two separate fabric blinds share one coordinated fitting. Each operates independently, so you can use the daytime layer, nighttime layer or raise both.

The blackout layer is opaque, but some light can remain at the sides or top depending on the window and fitting position. We explain the expected result during your survey.

Compatible double roller systems can be motorised. The exact motor, power and control arrangement depends on the width, fabric and available fitting space.

Often, yes, provided the recess has enough clear depth for two rolls and does not obstruct handles or window operation. We measure this in person.

Light dusting or gentle vacuuming is usually suitable. Care varies by fabric, so we provide guidance for both selected materials.

Not always. Rechargeable Somfy WireFree motors avoid new mains wiring and suit many finished rooms. Larger, frequently used or project-specified blinds may be better hardwired.

Yes. Compatible handheld remotes and wall controls operate the blinds directly. Wi-Fi is used for app control, remote access, schedules and some smart-home functions.

TaHoma can centralise compatible Somfy blinds, curtains and other connected home equipment. You can operate products individually or in groups and create timed or triggered scenes.

TaHoma supports Alexa and Google Assistant with compatible equipment. Apple HomeKit works with selected approved io-homecontrol devices only, and does not support RTS devices. We confirm the exact model and regional compatibility before ordering.

Sometimes, particularly roller blinds, but it depends on the tube, brackets, dimensions and condition. We inspect the product and advise whether conversion or replacement is more reliable.

The framed system clips into suitable beaded glazing, so it normally avoids drilling into walls, tiles or the main window frame.

Yes. On a compatible opening, the framed blind remains attached to the glazed panel as it opens, tilts or closes.

No. Bead depth, seals, handle clearance and window profile all affect compatibility. Our surveyor checks these details in person.

Depending on the compatible system, roller, pleated and cellular fabrics, aluminium Venetian, Sunwood and Shutter Lite options may be available. We will show the appropriate choices for your glazing.

Representative finishes include white, beige, brown, Golden Oak, mahogany, anthracite and black. The exact frame and component colours available depend on the selected blind system.

They can work very well on compatible glazed doors because the blind moves with the panel. We still need to check handles, seals and clearance.

Many practical and moisture-suitable fabrics are available. We will check ventilation, window position and the chosen fabric before recommending an option.

Blackout fabric is opaque, but a conventional roller blind can still allow light around the sides and top. We will explain the likely result and any more enclosed system options during the survey.

Yes. The popular Splash dimout and Bella blockout ranges share the same colourways, so you can keep a coordinated look while choosing different performance for each room.

Yes. We offer compatible rechargeable battery and hardwired mains-powered options using Somfy Sonesse RTS or Zigbee. With a TaHoma switch, suitable blinds can also be controlled from your phone, included in scenes and connected with Alexa or Google Home.

Manufacturing time depends on the chosen fabric and current workload. Fitting is scheduled separately. We confirm the current estimates with your quotation before you order.

Guarantee terms depend on the product and components and are confirmed with your quotation. Any commercial guarantee is additional to your statutory rights. We can also assess repairs to suitable blinds outside warranty.

Often, yes. Suitable wide-width fabrics and stronger hardware are available, though the final specification depends on the surveyed width, drop and fabric.

In many cases we can replace the fabric on a suitable existing roller blind, especially one originally made by us. The blind must be dropped to our Baldoyle showroom so the production team can inspect it first.

Yes, many suitable fabrics can be paired with a room-darkening lining. Some light can still enter around the outer edges of the blind.

Compatible Roman blind systems can be motorised. We will check the proposed size, fabric and power approach before recommending the specification.

Yes. Using the same or complementary collection across Roman blinds and curtains can create a coherent layered scheme.

Care varies by fabric and lining. Most should be lightly maintained in place and professionally cleaned if necessary rather than machine washed. We provide fabric-specific guidance.

They can suit many generous windows, but fabric weight and system limits matter. We survey the opening and may suggest multiple blinds where that gives a better result.

A stacked Roman blind gathers into neatly aligned panels for a cleaner silhouette. A cascade finish retains a softer waterfall effect with more visible depth. Fabric and blind proportions influence which option works best.

Yes. We specify suitable operating systems and safety components in line with the relevant child-safety requirements. The appropriate system is confirmed as part of the quotation.

We can check current fabrics containing recycled fibres and confirm the documented composition, blind-system suitability and lining options for your chosen fabric.

Open the roof window and look for the data plate, usually on the top edge of the sash. Send us a clear photograph showing the complete code.

Our online shop is not open for orders at the moment. Contact our team with the full VELUX window code so we can check compatible blinds, confirm the quotation and discuss supply or fitting.

A blackout roller is the classic choice. A blackout energy pleated blind adds insulating performance, while a Duo blind gives separate translucent and blackout layers.

Solar blinds use daylight to power remote operation and usually avoid new wiring. Electric blinds suit compatible powered VELUX installations. We confirm the correct option before ordering.

Yes. Exterior anti-heat blinds and shutters stop solar heat before it reaches the glazing. The right option depends on the daylight, blackout and weather protection you want.

Faux wood is our most popular Venetian range. It gives a convincing painted or wood-grain look, is easy to maintain and is more suitable than natural timber for kitchens, bathrooms and other moisture-prone rooms.

Yes. The finish explorer on this page shows the supplied faux-wood and natural-wood finishes as both a selectable colour and a complete blind. Screens reproduce colour differently, so the final choice should still be confirmed against a current physical sample.

A 35mm slat creates a finer, more detailed rhythm. A 50mm slat feels calmer and can reveal more of the view when tilted open. We consider the scale and depth of the window before recommending one.

Faux wood is moisture resistant and generally the better timber-look choice for bathrooms, kitchens and wetrooms. The room should still be well ventilated, and we will assess the window and likely moisture exposure before confirming suitability.

Natural timber is not normally recommended for high-moisture bathrooms or wetrooms because changing humidity can affect the material. Faux wood or aluminium is generally the safer choice in those rooms.

No. Closing the slats reduces light and improves privacy, but light can remain around the blind, through cord routes and between slats. For stronger room darkening, we can compare blackout rollers, cellular blinds or layered treatments.

Selected faux-wood blinds can be motorised for tilt. Natural-wood ranges have selected tilt-only and tilt-and-lift systems. Availability depends on blind size, slat choice, tapes, power supply and the required control system.

Yes. The supplied wood and faux-wood collections include 24 tape colours across herringbone and flatweave styles. Width and compatibility depend on the selected slat size and material.

Yes. Their ability to cover wide spans, tilt for light and draw aside for access makes them a practical option for many patio and sliding doors.

Often they can. We carry a wide range of parts and can assess damaged louvres at our Baldoyle showroom, although an exact match depends on the age and availability of the fabric.

Blockout louvres reduce light strongly, but gaps between louvres and around the edges mean a vertical blind is not normally a total-blackout system.

Care depends on the louvre material. Many fabrics can be lightly vacuumed or dusted, while suitable PVC louvres can be wiped. We provide guidance for the selected range.

They are particularly well suited to wider openings. We will survey the span, fixing surface and preferred stack position before confirming the track specification.
