a worthy heritage
The Business was founded as a partnership in 1987 by husband-and-wife team Mike and Sue Watling with a focus on manufacturing Roof Blinds for the Conservatory Industry, which was then in its infancy.
In 1992 the Limited Company was formed, closely followed by a move to bigger premises.
Upon Mike and Sue’s well-earned retirement in 2010 the Company was taken over by Carl and Lisa Norton, Carl having been with the company since 1988 with Lisa joining full-time in 1998.
The company maintains its reputation for innovation by continually evolving its products to best serve the changing world of glass usage and Home Automation. Now offering an extensive range of manual and motorised Blinds solutions for modern new builds as well as traditional and period buildings.
The company is very proud of its heritage and strives to continually improve and develop its products and services as well as being keen to stick close to its family run roots.

Innovation in dates
Timeline
1980's
In the 1980s, we introduced roof blinds for conservatories, which were a new concept at the time. This innovation was made possible by the use of new materials and manufacturing techniques that allowed the production of blinds in complex shapes and sizes.
1990's
In the 1990s, we introduced remote-controlled and motorized blinds, which allowed for more convenient and precise control of lighting and privacy. This innovation was made possible by advances in electronic and motor technology.
2000's
In the 2000s, we introduced energy-efficient and eco-friendly blinds, which helped to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint. This innovation was made possible by the use of new materials and manufacturing techniques that improved the insulation and shading properties of blinds.
2010's
In the 2010s, we introduced smart blinds, which can be controlled by voice commands, mobile apps, or home automation systems. This innovation was made possible by advances in wireless communication and smart home technology.
2020's
In the 2020s, we are likely to see further innovations in smart blinds, including the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance the automation and personalization of blinds.
