However beautiful our curtains are, they might not be enough to keep the light out, particularly in the summer months when the dawn breaks very early or for shift workers trying to sleep in the day.
At Fittexpert we have fitted a great many blackout blinds. We will measure and fit the perfect blind all of which can be completely tailored to wherever in the house you need them, perhaps in the bathroom, in your bedrooms and in any other areas of the house where you would like to have greater light control.
A lot of people will associate blackout blinds only with better sleep and blocking out the light and it is true that having an early night or living on a well-lit street are the most common reason for thinking of having black out blinds fitted. More and more people, however, are choosing black out blinds to help them create an ambience in the likes of increasing popular media rooms, particularly when projectors are used.
Ask us about the large range of blinds and dazzling array of colours that we have, that can be matched to your own interior design and make a real statement in any room.

One of the very first uses for curtains was to hang over tents in the middle-eastern dessert. Its purpose was not only to provide privacy, but also a very primitive form of air conditioning after wetting them with water to take some of the brutal heat off. It probably wasn’t the best air-conditioning but certainly effective.
It wasn’t unto the 17th century that windows started being made much larger than the very small windows previously made due to expense. During this time, the Victorians made full use of curtains for many different reasons including to help with insulation in their cold homes and to show off to guests. Victorians typically hung three pairs of curtains at their windows; one thick outer pair, a lace-like middle pair and a third thinner pair. The middle pair was the only one to be opened usually.
It was only in the 1940’s that ready-made curtains were being supplied to stores and by the 1950’s curtains were an essential home component, used to match the architectural style of the home. It’s safe to say that curtains have come a very long way since windows were wooden or marble slats, often proving to be very drafty. Today, their main purpose is to provide privacy and for some, to show off artistic taste, and fortune.
It’s Fittexpert’s mission to cater to every customers needs, whether they’re looking for curtains that will control how much light enters the room or if you’d like your curtains to showcase your fabulous taste in fabrics – we have something to suit your desires.

The slats are tilted to accurately control the light passing through into your room to create a warmer feel. An ideal addition to compliment wood floors and furniture in either a contemporary or traditional setting.

The earliest curtains were made from animal hides and were always placed over a doorway, secured with hooks although as they were rather stiff there was not drape as such. The first curtains were made in linen and flax and spun in ancient Egypt.
While we might not be supplying curtains to the pharaohs anymore, at Fittexpert we treat all our customers like royalty. Whether they live in a pyramid or a semi we will offer them the benefit of all our experience and top quality window dressing with an abundance of choice and everything from sumptuous curtains to innovative blind solutions to suit very home.
