Elevate Your Space with Precision, Performance, and Design
Leatherhead has a mix of architectural styles that makes standard window coverings a poor match most of the time. You’ll find traditional cottages, 1930s family homes, modern developments, and contemporary extensions filled with glass, all within the same few streets. With so much variation, off-the-shelf blinds rarely sit quite right. Small gaps, awkward fittings, and mismatched proportions can quietly affect comfort, privacy, and energy use.
That’s where a proper made-to-measure approach becomes more than just a design choice. At Controlux, we’ve spent over 35 years working across Surrey and the surrounding areas, measuring, designing, and installing window coverings that are built specifically for the space they’re going into. Not guessed. Not adjusted. Cut specifically for that window.
The result is something that fits better, performs better, and looks like it belonged there from the start.
“Made to Measure” sounds simple, but it’s not just about getting the width and height right. A true bespoke solution considers how the window sits within the wall, how light moves through the room, and how the property is actually used day to day.
Each installation is tailored across several areas:
It’s about creating a system that works quietly in the background, not something that constantly needs adjusting.
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.
Energy efficiency has become a major focus across Surrey. Many homes still have older windows or large glazed areas that let heat escape in winter and trap warmth in summer. According to national energy data, a significant amount of household heat loss happens through windows. Poorly fitted coverings can make that worse.
A well-fitted, Made-to-Measure blind or curtain helps reduce this by creating an extra layer between the glass and the room. In winter, that layer slows down heat escaping. In summer, it reduces glare and overheating, especially in south or west-facing rooms.
Leatherhead has seen a rise in extensions with bifold doors and rooflights. While they look great, they can also lead to temperature swings if shading isn’t planned properly. Bespoke solutions allow each opening to be treated individually, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
Over time, this can contribute to a more stable indoor climate and even help support improved EPC performance, though it’s just one part of the bigger picture.
Made to measure blinds are part of this toolkit. Precisely fitted shading solutions help by:
