Sunway Blinds create an atmosphere—make a feature of an ordinary window. Bring out the best in all your rooms. Give a reassuring feelint of being able to shut out the world, or invite it in, at a touch.


Sunway Blinds filter sunlight in the summer, help insulate window: against heat loss in the winter. And in dull weather can be set to reflec' more light into the room from the brightest part of the sky.


Sunway Blinds have a unique compact headrail— almost invisible ‘Terylene’ web—choice of 21 lovely colours and 3 slat widths!
