Foldaway Awnings


Foldaway Awnings are the most popular type of garden awning available. Here at Castle Blinds, we have been manufacturing these awnings for over 25 years and we have seen no sign of their popularity decreasing just yet! However, during the 25 years we have been trading these awnings have come on in leaps and bounds in terms of technology and design. If it’s been a while since you’ve considered an awning for your garden, it’s really worth taking a look at our website to see the possibilities available to you. You’ll be surprised at how much an awning can transform your garden…

Many of our customers choose us because they know that Castle Blinds can turn an idea for a patio or garden into a reality. We have created beautiful outdoor spaces using our awnings as a starting point and we can also supply accessories such as patio heaters. Just think about the difference an awning could make to your garden dining or seating area, or even your outdoor hot tub! The awnings available from Castle Blinds can create privacy, as well as shading you from the sun and wind. This makes them an excellent choice all year round, and when your patio awning is not in use – you can simply fold it away.

We have lots of our products on display (including our blinds), so you’re sure to find an idea that’s right for you.

Pleated Blinds


Pleated Blinds are an attractive option when it comes to window coverings. The finish of these blinds allows light through, even when the blinds are closed, to provide you with a soft glowing light all day long. These blinds are available in a variety of colours to fit the colour scheme of your home or office, and also provide you with a warm or cool light filter depending on your preference.

As a pleated blind is made from a unique material with a flexible structure, it can be fitted in awkwardly shaped windows or doors. This benefit makes these blinds ideal for conservatories, where the glass panels can be varied in shape and size and may also be sloping. As mentioned earlier in our post, because these blinds let in soft light when they are closed, they are the perfect choice for your conservatory in the summer months because they let in light, but not too much heat.

Here at Castle Blinds, we have developed a whole range of blinds in this style, so you are sure to find something to suit your requirements when you come to us. You will always find a wide range of colour and texture choices, as well as high-tech fabrics that perform brilliantly in everyday conditions. We have fabrics with special reflective backings that control solar heat and light to reduce heat in the summer and retain heat in the winter. A technology called Unipleat is also available, helping your blinds to retain their structure and look great for many years to come.

If you would like to see some examples of these blinds, please visit our main website where you can browse our photo gallery. You will also find a wide selection of blinds and awnings at our showroom in Kingswinford. Here you will be able to get some ideas for your home and also chat to our friendly team about your blind project. When you’re ready one of our advisors can visit you at home to measure up and listen to the requirements for your made to measure blinds.

Security Shutters


Security Shutters are available from the experts at Castle Blinds, your one-stop shop for blinds and shutters for business and home. Thanks to the team at Castle Blinds and our excellent range of products, your shutters need not be boring or unattractive. We have developed a brilliant range of shop window shutters, door shutters and residential property shutters that are attractive whilst being secure.

Many of our customers come to us for our folding shutters because they do not obstruct light whilst in use. This makes them ideal for use for rooms in which you need extra security all the time, without compromising on daylight. These shutters are therefore used in jewellers and police stations with great success. Best of all, the shutters can also be folded away when not in use, making them suitable for garages, lock-ups and shop entrances.

You can view some pictures of these products at our website, where you will see how great they look in use. These shutters can be finished in a range of colours to match the exterior of your property or company colours. Once you have an idea in mind, it’s a great idea to visit our showroom to get expert advice from our friendly team about how your shutters will work for you. We can also send one of our team to your home or business premises to discuss your requirements further.

Dutch Canopies


Dutch Canopies are a feature of many shop windows on the high street, bringing a touch of continental charm to the UK. These attractive awnings are favoured by shop owners because they provide customers entering their shop with protection from the sun, wind and rain. Not only this, a canopy can also provide a branding opportunity for your company that is cost-effective compared to some signage methods. If you’re looking for more information about these canopies feel free to visit our website, or read on to find out more about the options available.

The canopies available from Castle Blinds are made to measure so that they fit your requirements perfectly. This includes a choice of colours and styles, as well as your canopy being personalised with your company logo and colours. You can also add your telephone number to your awning, so that your customers will remember to give you a call. When you choose us, installation is simple and we will make sure that our team causes minimum disruption to your business when they are working.

The best way to get a feel of how your awning will look is to visit the gallery on our website. Here you will find pictures of our previous commissions for a range of shops, restaurants and hotels across the West Midlands and beyond. You are sure to find a style that you like at our website, or why not visit our showroom to see some examples in person?

Many of our customers are also choosing canopies for their home, as an alternative to a folding awning. These canopies add a continental feel to the exterior of your property, whilst being an eye catching feature that is also practical. A canopy can provide shade outside as well as shielding the interior of your home from bright sunshine. This is especially useful if you have a room that gets very hot in the summer that you would like to keep cool.
