There is no need for pull cords or rods to operate your blinds – it’s all done electronically, with each blind having its own miniature motor.

Only available from Thomas Sanderson, The PowerPleat and TecNeat combination, provides state-of –the-art technology and the ultimate in ease of use and convenience.

Made to measure panel track blinds are available in the whole spectrum of washi colour ways and can be used either as a window covering or as a room divider; hanging from rails (in either grey or white), the washi panel track blind comes in ten configurations, allowing even wide rooms and windows to be screened effectively.

Venetian blinds are still the most convenient method of controlling light at windows.

The Silent Gliss range of venetian blinds with their wide range of stunning colours provides an easy and effective way of adding a splash of colour to a room.

All Silent Gliss manual systems have a unique ‘mono’ operation with one single chain or cord operating both the tilting of the slats and the raising/lowering of the blind.

The 8100PC system has been designed so that the cord holes are in the back of the slats, to prevent direct light coming through the blind when closed, making it ideal for computer use.

Motorised control is also available on some systems, which delivers extra convenience and comfort.

Silent Gliss offer a wide range of finishes including metal and wooden slats.

The flowing organic patterns in the collection were created by Swedish duo Bjork-Forth.

The clean simple shapes, colours and forms strike a balance between “retro” and “now”.

Each of the four swirling patterns is named after one of the rivers, and is available in several colourways, including bright, neutrals, and white on white.

A guide price for a 4ft x 4ft Rivers collection roller blind is £100.
