All the exquisite characteristics of the wood are preserved while the shutters have a beautiful smooth, fine grain texture that is ready to be finished in your choice of paint or wood stain.
This range offers a large choice of shutters styles – full height, tier-on-tier, cafe style, bay window, track systems, french doors and shaped shutters – and a number of customisable design options, including a range of louvre and operation styes and a choice of hinge colour finishes.
Available in 14 gorgeous paint colours that include crisp, timeless whites, beautiful creams and contemporary greys; and in 9 stunning natural wood-tone stains that really highlight the beauty of the woodgrain and the shutter.
Balfron is also available in custom colours to match Farrow and Ball, The Little Greene Company and Dulux paints.
The solid wood core of these shutters acts as a natural thermal insulator: the cellular structure of the woodgrain creates a barrier against cool air, helping to retain heat more effectively, while the framed shutter further acts as a barrier to cool air entering your room when the shutter panels are closed. Our white painted shutters can further aid interior temperature control by reflecting heat in the summer months.

Blind Measuring Guide
Measuring your windows is not a difficult task. Follow the instructions to ensure a good fit for your blinds. Please measure in cm. Before you start to measure you must first decide whether you would like your blind to hang inside or outside the window recess.
Inside window recess
How to Measure:
Measure the width in 3 different positions inside the window recess from wall to wall. Measure at the top, the middle and the bottom. The most important measurement to write down is the Smallest one.
Measure the Drop (height) in 3 different positions inside the recess from the top of the recess to the window sill. The most important measurement to write down is the Largest one.
Now key these values in the measurements section when ordering blinds from Cheapest Blinds & Interiors.
Outside window recess
How to Measure
Measure the width of your window then add at least 7.5cm to allow for overlap.
Measure the drop (height) of your window and add at least 7.5cm to allow for overlap.
Remember to enter your sizes as Exact size when ordering for outside recess this will mean the blind will be made to your precise measurements.
You may be aware that there have actually been a number of extremely unfortunate cases of children or animals perishing mistakenly because they’ve been suffocated by the inner or outer cords of a blind. You may be unaware of the legislation that was passed in February 2014 to attempt and avoid these unnecessary deaths.
It’s the Law
It’s now prohibited to install a home window blind which doesn’t adhere to the brand-new child safety requirements. Blinds must be fully compliant with BS EN 13120:2009+A1:2014 and validated as ‘safe’, and this is typical of blinds in all rooms in every house, regardless of whether youngsters are present or otherwise.
Why is this essential?
Toddlers matured 16-36 months are specifically in danger of strangulation. They’re mobile, but their muscle control and windpipes aren’t fully established. Because their heads still weigh proportionately greater than their bodies, they cannot release themselves effortlessly if they come to be tangled, and they asphyxiate more quickly compared to adults if their necks are restricted.
The brand-new regulations intends to shield babies and kids by making certain that child-safe blinds are set up in all houses now and in the future, no matter the existence or absence of kids.
Exactly what do Cheapest Blinds & Interiors have to do?
We need to fit safety devices on cables and chains when they’re made, and test all the safety-critical elements carefully. There are now limits on cable and chain lengths. We need to provide security equipment for you to fit for protecting against dangerous loops being made on cables and chains, and make certain all product guidelines come with security cautions.
Exactly what do I need to do?
When you purchase a blind, follow the instructions very carefully and make sure you match the safety and security tool supplied if it’s required (for a corded blind). Several blinds we sell are now cordless, so you won’t have to fit a safety device, but if you ‘d like to convert an existing blind, spring conversion kits are available to buy for most of our ready-made roller blinds.
Alternatively, you can fit a P-clip to an alreadying existing blind to hold the cord taut and tidy, and away from little hands. We’re now giving these away free of charge for all our existing customers, please get in touch if you need some.
