Tackling Challenging Windows: Creative Solutions by Redgraves Home Fabrics
Double-Height Windows
Problem: Double-height windows flood spaces with light and grandeur, but present issues with privacy, glare, and access.
Solution: We engineer motorised curtain tracks and custom fabric drops that elegantly cover expansive areas. Our premium sheer curtains diffuse sunlight while our blackout options offer privacy and energy efficiency. All controls can be automated for effortless adjustment, ensuring both practicality and style.

Skylights & Awkward Heights
Problem: Skylights and high, hard-to-reach windows bring beautiful daylight—but are notorious for heat gain, privacy challenges, and difficulty in manual operation.
Solution: Redgraves supplies tailored custom blinds and shades in heat-reflective fabrics, controlled by smart home automation or discreet remote systems. Every installation is measured precisely—no gaps, no warping. Our range includes insulated honeycomb blinds for improved energy efficiency, and sleek roller blinds with architectural profiles.
Heritage & Character Windows
Problem: Heritage windows require preservation and regulatory compliance, often combining decorative features with draughts and limited privacy.
Solution: Our in-house experts collaborate with homeowners and architects to design treatments that honour original style—think opulent drapes, designer sheers, and subtle pelmets—while adding modern comfort, insulation, and UV protection. We use fixings and finishes that respect historic details, with hundreds of exclusive fabrics available to suit every period home.
