Free Temporary Blinds
Free Temporary Blinds with Every Plantation Shutter Order
Plantation shutters are a long-term investment in your home — beautifully made, precisely fitted and built to last. However, because many shutters are manufactured to order, there can be a lead time before installation.
That’s why we offer complimentary temporary blinds to all shutter customers. It means you don’t have to live with uncovered windows while you wait — your privacy, light control and comfort are protected from day one.
- ✔ Free temporary blinds included with shutter orders
- ✔ Maintain privacy while your shutters are being made
- ✔ Blackout options available for bedrooms
- ✔ Light-diffusing options for living areas
- ✔ Fitted and removed by our own team
Why We Offer Temporary Blinds
Shutters are custom manufactured, and quality takes time. While many of our UK-made ranges have shorter lead times, some shutter styles are produced overseas and involve shipping periods.
Rather than leaving you with bare windows, we ensure you still have:
- Privacy from neighbours and passers-by
- Light control during early mornings and evenings
- Bedroom darkening for better sleep
- A practical solution for families with children
- Peace of mind while you wait
You’ve committed to your shutters — we believe you shouldn’t have to compromise in the meantime.
What Are Temporary Blinds?
Our temporary blinds are durable pleated paper blinds that are securely fixed into place using specialist Powerstrip tape. They provide a simple but effective window covering that can be easily removed without damage when your shutters are ready to install.
They are:
- Strong and stable once fitted
- Neatly installed within the window recess
- Easy to raise and lower using supplied clips
- Cleanly removable by our fitters
Bedroom Privacy & Room Darkening
If your shutters are being fitted in bedrooms, temporary blinds make a real difference — particularly for children, shift workers or anyone sensitive to light.
We offer:
- Black dim-out temporary blinds for bedrooms
- Improved early morning light reduction
- Greater comfort while waiting for full installation
While not a complete blackout solution, they significantly reduce light levels compared to having uncovered glass.
Living Areas & Overlooked Windows
For lounges, kitchens and street-facing rooms, we supply white light-diffusing temporary blinds. These allow natural light to filter in while maintaining daytime privacy.
This is particularly helpful if:
- Your property is overlooked
- You live on a busy road
- You’ve removed old blinds before installation
- You want immediate privacy after ordering
Installed and Removed by Our Own Team
Temporary blinds are fitted by our team at the time of survey or order confirmation (depending on timing), and professionally removed when your plantation shutters are installed.
You won’t be left to manage adhesives or repairs — we handle everything as part of the service.
A Small Detail That Makes a Big Difference
We understand that shutters are an investment. Waiting for them shouldn’t mean months of exposed windows.
Our complimentary temporary blinds are one of the small but meaningful ways we reduce disruption and make the process easier for you and your family.
