Forth Blinds, based in Prestonpans, near Edinburgh, began trading early in 2015 following a serious factory fire at Sunrite Blinds Ltd. The partners of Forth Blinds, Philip O'Brien and Colin Mercer, who both worked at Sunrite, have 45 years combined experience measuring and fitting quality blinds. Forth Blinds supply all types of blinds to schools, hospitals, offices, shops, care homes, government departments, student accommodation, historic buildings, houses, flats and conservatories. We always go that extra mile and get a buzz when faced with difficult and awkward projects that other companies walk away from!

Vertical blinds have an immediate advantage over other products when you are dealing with tall windows. The slats can be very long, allowing the blind to effectively cover the entire window when shade and privacy is needed. On top of this they are also aesthetically pleasing and add a huge amount to the decoration of a space. This style of blinds is extremely practical and provides a great deal of control over the amount of shading. The louvres can be opened completely to allow a lot of light in, closed a small amount to deliver shade but still keep the space lit, or be closed completely.

Venetian blinds have a classic style that remains very popular to this day. They are highly functional while also being aesthetically pleasing and stylish. This makes them a great choice for all kinds of spaces, including every room in the home and in offices, restaurants and shops too. At Forth Blinds we offer a local service to measure and fully fit your blinds and we cover all of East Lothian including Musselburgh, Haddington, Dunbar and North Berwick. Venetians are favoured because they are immensely flexible.

In this day and age more and more of us have chosen to convert the attics and lofts of our homes into additional living space. One of the key benefits of these rooms is that they are often flooded with amazing natural light, especially if they have Velux windows. As great as this is, it can be a problem if you're planning on using the loft as an extra bedroom. While privacy is seldom a concern in these rooms, too much sunshine can be, especially during the summer. As curtains are rather impractical to use with this form of window, specially made Velux blinds provide the perfect answer.

Pleated blinds are perfect for those who want to have the stylish look of Venetian blinds or shutters, yet would prefer to have the total privacy of a roller blind. As they meet both the design features and the characteristic qualities of the two main forms of blinds most widely used in the UK, it is little wonder that pleated blinds are becoming increasingly popular. A key advantage of pleated blinds is that they deliver the best of what other styles have to offer. As well as offering the privacy and shade afforded by Venetian blinds, they are made of fabric and can be stored in a more compact way, much as roller blinds can be.

Conservatories add so much to a home; they provide you with a comfortable, stylish extra room where you can work, play, entertain or relax while being surrounded by natural light and enjoying views over your garden. However, there are times when you will want to have a little more privacy or when you want to keep the glare of the sun outside, so you will need to choose window coverings to install in your conservatory. Conservatory blinds can give you the perfect solution. Each style of blinds offers its own distinct advantages and will bring different qualities to your conservatory.

When it comes to any kind of window coverings, the fit and size are absolutely crucial. Your blinds need to be the right size to cover our windows perfectly in order to perform their function effectively, as well as for aesthetic reasons. Perfect fit blinds offer the solution to both of these factors, making sure your windows are completely covered and that you have a stylish covering that will look great and complement your decor. Perfect fit blinds are designed to be used on uPVC windows and doors and are often used in conservatories, although they are versatile enough to be used in other rooms too if required.
