Elevate Your Space with Precision, Performance, and Design
In Kingston upon Thames, where architecture spans from Victorian terraces to modern riverside apartments and glazed extensions, nothing short of tailor‑made window treatments will do. Off‑the‑shelf blinds frequently fail to match the character, functionality, or thermal demands of Kingston homes. That’s where Controlux’s Made to Measure Blinds service comes in. We deliver window coverings that are not just fitted, but carefully engineered to perform, protect, and complement your space.
With over 35 years’ experience across Kingston, Surrey, and South West London, we combine craftsmanship, technical know‑how, and local insight to ensure your blinds, curtains, or shading systems:
“Made to measure” isn’t just about size. It’s about tailoring every component of your window covering solution:
Dimensions and Fit- Every window is measured precisely, including recesses, handles, architraves, or unusual reveals. This prevents poor fittings, which leaves gaps that let light, noise, and heat through. especially in older or non‑standard windows commonly found in Kingston.
Fabric and Material choice- Your choice of thermal linings, blackout, light‑filtering, UV resistant, fire‑retardant; each fabric is tested for durability and performance. This helps regulate winter heat loss and summer glare; protecting period furniture, floors, and textiles.
Control and Mechanism- We offer manual or motorised controls; cord‑free or smart‑integrated systems; side channels, track options. This functionality is essential in pivot or tilt/turn frames; motorisation adds convenience for high or hard‑to‑reach windows.
Aesthetic and Architectural Sensitivity- We can match colour, texture, style with minimal visible hardware while respecting heritage restrictions. We know that Kingston has many conservation areas and listed buildings; sensitive materials and neat fixing are essential for planning compliance and visual appeal.
Made to measure blinds are incredibly versatile and work beautifully in almost any room of the house – or even in a commercial setting.
In living rooms, they can add warmth and style while helping manage sunlight throughout the day. Bedrooms benefit from blackout or dim-out fabrics, giving you control over both privacy and light for a better night’s sleep. Kitchens and bathrooms are better suited to moisture-resistant materials like faux wood or PVC, which can handle steam and spills without warping or fading.
Even in home offices or workspaces, made to measure blinds can reduce screen glare and improve comfort, with options for light filtering, UV protection and thermal control.
Kingston Council’s sustainability and retrofit guidance emphasises that windows and doors are among the areas with the most potential to reduce energy consumption and emissions.
