Flamingo Blinds & Awnings

Over the weekend of 19-20th of December and despite the perilous weather conditions, Flamingo Blinds completed the installation of 10 motorised Silent Gliss 4870 system roller blinds at the Head Office of The Sanctuary Housing Association, Castle Street Worcester. Solar mesh fabric with 1% visibilty was used, in order to allow just the correct degree of light into the building, whilst still filtering the glare. The blinds worked from remote control handsets, and were at 6m fixing heights, requiring the use of a portable tower. Some of the blinds were coupled units which facilitated a width of over 6m. Helen Morris, the office manager was on site during the installation and expressed her satisfaction with function of the blinds and the way in which they had been fitted.

When designer Leyla Sezer was looking for an awning for a vegan restaurant, SAF, in London’s trendy Hoxton, she could find only one supplier who was able to provide something out of the ordinary. Her specific requirement was for an awning which extended further than that which had been offered by competitors.

Flamingo Blinds supplied her with an Italian system with a massive 9m width and 4.5m arm projection, which was exactly what was required. Leyla emailed Flamingo with her comments after completion: “The owner and the staff at SAF are extremely pleased with the awning, which is crisp and smart. I am particularly happy with the signwriting; please give Mike, your signwriter, my compliments for this!”
