Traditional Shop Blinds

The traditional box blind is still widely used today being probably the most durable type of awning still manufactured, with its multiple fixing points it puts less strain on the blind box unlike the modern type of foldaway blind.  At Worth Blinds we still manufacture traditional box blinds from scratch and we can also refurbish your existing blind when required.

The blind box which houses the roller is constructed from timber which can be finished in either a wood stain or painted to your facia colour, the top board is covered in a roofing felt to help prolong its life span.  The front lath is also manufactured from timber where particular attention is paid to the front rail where we router the facia with a decorative finish to compliment the traditional look.

The blind arms are manufactured from a mild steel where they are skilfully formed in house to bend neatly around your facia when the awning is retracted.  The blind arms are then fitted to a pair of slide irons which are mounted to your wall on specially made iron castings. 

The traditional box blinds are extended by a means of a blind pole, where the blind arms are then pushed up the slide irons to give sufficient headway clearance.

Your choice of blind covering which can be either an acrylic fabric or a reinforced PVC cover will then be hand sewn to the roller the traditional way.   This is an important part of the process as we so often go to premises where the blinds have been recovered by unscrupulous companies who haven't a clue how to do this, so to over come this they either pop rivet the cover to the barrel,  or we have even seen covers nailed through the entire length of the barrel.  These processes will normally result in you having to have your blind roller replaced due to all the rivet ends falling into the blind spring, causing it to not function correctly plus with all the holes put through the barrel it will weaken it dramatically.

We offer professional full sign writing facilities  so your company logo can be printed to the blind cover and valance if required. See Graphics & Signwriting for more information on sign writing your blind.

We also manufacture side blinds in a range of options to fit on the ends of your awning if you require more protection on your shop front.
