1. Curtains
What’s old is new and in fashion again, just with a modern touch. Apollo Blinds has a brand new concept in curtains called Veri Shades. They are a fantastic option as they are extremely versatile. They look and feel like curtains, yet have the functionality of blinds.
They are a new, unique option and can be installed in a variety of fabrics and colours. At the twist of a wand they turn from translucent to opaque, so are a great solution to block both light and neighbours.
They are whisper quiet, pet and child friendly and lightweight.
2. Internal Blinds
The most popular blinds are still our roller blinds as well as our vertical and venetian blinds. Roller blinds and Verticals are easy to install and a great economical option for any space. Our vertical blinds now offer several control options as well as weighted options to stop blinds blowing in the breeze and avoiding tangling chains.
Venetians on the other hand come in aluminium, PVC or timber and can provide a stylish finish to your windows. They are durable and provide excellent privacy and light control.
