Curtains and Blinds in Clonakilty

Rooms near the water take a beating that inland rooms do not. The salt air off Inchydoney gets into a cheap mechanism and seizes it, so your blinds there are specified in metal or composite rather than whatever is cheapest on the day.

Bright south-facing rooms have the opposite problem. You want the glare down without losing the view, which is usually a pleated blind or a light Venetian rather than anything heavy. It is the same range we fit as blinds across Cork, specified differently for the coast.

Bigger jobs get the samples brought to your house rather than making you choose in the shop.

Seeing a cloth in the actual room, in the actual light, is worth more than an hour under our lights. For a whole property, that is really the start of an interior designer in Cork planning the rooms as one thing.

Most of the work here is repeat. You get the same fitter back, so the second job already knows what the first one hung, what your rooms do in the light, and which way your windows open.

For a holiday let that matters more than it sounds. Your turnover window is short, your rooms have to photograph well, and nobody wants a fitter learning the house in July.

These come up most often from the town and the coast road. Anything not covered here is quicker to ask on the phone.

We cover the town and everything around it. Rossmore, Shannonvale, Ballinascarthy, Timoleague, Rosscarbery and out towards Ring.

The Model Railway Village end of town and the housing up behind Emmet Square are all the same run for a van, so ask whatever side of Clonakilty you are on.

Ring 023 884 7123 and we will put you in for a measure in Clonakilty.

Tell us on the phone whether it is one window or a full house, because it changes what the fitter brings with them. Say the date you need it by if it is a rental turnaround.
