Maintenance depends on the product. Blinds and shutters can be wiped with a damp cloth, while curtains and soft shades may need professional cleaning. Outdoor awnings should be brushed free of debris and occasionally washed with mild soap and water.

Yes. By blocking direct sunlight, awnings and exterior shutters reduce heat gain inside the home, lowering cooling costs in summer.

Most products come in a wide range of colours, fabrics, and finishes. Curtains and shades offer the most flexibility, while shutters and awnings can be tailored to match your home’s exterior style.

Professional installation ensures a perfect fit and smooth operation, especially for custom sizes or motorised systems. It also guarantees that safety standards are met.

Plantation shutters are the most popular type of indoor shutter, recognised by their wide louvres that create a clean, modern look. Traditional shutters, by contrast, have narrower louvres and a more detailed, classic appearance. In practice, though, most people use “plantation shutters” as a catch‑all term for all interior shutters, regardless of style.

The cost depends on the size of your windows, the material you choose, and the style of operation. Timber shutters are generally more expensive than PVC or composite options, and custom finishes can also affect the price. At Carpet One, we’ll give you a clear quote upfront so you know exactly what to expect.

Most shutters only need a quick dust or wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution works well. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish.

Shutters are measured and made to fit your windows precisely. Installation involves securing the frame inside the window opening and attaching the panels so they open and close smoothly. Our team can handle the process for you to ensure a perfect fit.

They give excellent control over light. When fully closed, shutters block most light, though small gaps between louvres mean they don’t create a complete blackout. Many people pair shutters with curtains or blinds if full darkness is needed.

Yes. Moisture‑resistant shutters are ideal for humid spaces, as they won’t warp or crack.

They do. Shutters add an extra layer to your windows, helping keep rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Absolutely. You can choose the material, finish, louvre size, and how they open, whether fixed, hinged, bifold, or sliding, so they suit your home perfectly.

Often, yes. Shutters are considered a premium window furnishing, and their durability and timeless style can enhance both comfort and resale appeal.

Yes. Shutters can be custom‑made to fit specialty shapes such as arches, circles, or angled windows. The frame is built to follow the outline of the window, and the louvres tilt and move just like standard shutters. This makes them one of the few window furnishings that can handle unusual shapes while still looking seamless.

Most fabrics can be lightly vacuumed with a brush attachment or gently dusted. Some styles may also allow spot cleaning. Your Carpet One consultant can advise on the best care for your chosen fabric.

Cordless and motorised options are available, reducing the risk of dangling cords and making them a safe choice for family homes.

Of course. Carpet One offers swatches and samples so you can see how colours and textures look in your own space before you commit.

Blinds can work well in most rooms. Venetian blinds are popular in living areas and bedrooms because they give you adjustable light and privacy control. Faux wood or aluminium venetians are often chosen for kitchens and bathrooms where moisture resistance is helpful. Roller and roman blinds are also widely used in living areas and bedrooms, with blockout options being a common choice where light control is a priority.

Most blinds are easy to maintain with regular dusting or a quick wipe with a damp cloth. Fabric blinds, like roller and roman styles, may suit gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment or spot cleaning, depending on the fabric.

Blinds can help manage heat and glare by reducing direct sunlight in warmer months and improving comfort in cooler conditions. Pairing blinds with curtains can also boost insulation and light control.

Many modern blind ranges offer cordless or motorised options, which can reduce cord-related risks and suit busy family homes. Choosing the right operating style comes down to how your household uses each room.

It depends on the mood you’re after. Café curtains that cover just part of the window feel casual and airy. Apron‑length curtains sit neatly below the sill. Full‑length curtains create a tailored, classic look, while puddle‑length curtains add drama and luxury by pooling on the floor.

They can. Curtains made of heavier fabrics absorb sound and reduce echoes, which makes open‑plan living areas or bedrooms feel calmer and more comfortable.

Yes. If you’d like the convenience of opening and closing curtains with a remote or even through a smart home system, motorisation is available. It’s especially handy for tall windows or hard‑to‑reach spaces.

Lined curtains have an extra fabric layer sewn in, which improves insulation, helps the curtain hang more smoothly, and protects the outer fabric from fading. Unlined curtains are lighter and more casual, often chosen for sheer or decorative purposes.

They’re one of the best options. Curtains can be made to measure and glide smoothly across wide tracks, making them ideal for big openings. Styles like S‑folds or pinch pleats look especially elegant on expansive windows.

It’s an awning that can be extended or retracted as needed, giving you flexible shade and protection.

Yes. They reduce glare and heat entering through your windows, helping keep your home cooler.

Absolutely. Many retractable awnings come with motorised options, so you can adjust them with ease.
