The drive
Thirty-Eight Minutes Along the Coast
Kinsale is about thirty-eight minutes from the showroom, thirty-five kilometres east.
It is the far end of the radius on the other side from Skibbereen, and the van is out that way regularly enough. Most Kinsale jobs are worth the run because they are whole rooms rather than single windows.

The windows
Period Windows and Harbour Light
The windows here are the most interesting we work on. Tall Georgian sashes, narrow town houses on steep streets, and rooms that fill with the hard light off Kinsale harbour.
That light is the thing people underestimate. It fades a cheap fabric fast, and it turns glare into a real problem in a south-facing room. Your lining does most of the work there, so it is chosen before the face cloth rather than after it.
Commercial
Guesthouses, Restaurants and Second Homes
Hospitality runs the town, so a lot of the work there is commercial.
Guesthouses want rooms that photograph well and take heavy turnover. Restaurants want fabric that meets the fire spec. Second homes want a full job done in one planned visit while the owners are down. All three are ordinary work, and yours is quoted the same way.
The area
Kinsale and the Roads In
We cover the town and the peninsula around it: Summercove, Scilly, Ballinspittle, Garrettstown, Belgooly, and out towards the Old Head.
Anywhere from Compass Hill down to Charles Fort is the same trip for a van, so the address rarely matters once we are coming.
Why here
Why a Kinsale Job Is Worth the Run
You get a whole room planned at once rather than a window at a time. The fitter comes with the books, takes every opening in the house, and comes back with one price for the lot.
For a guesthouse or a second home that is the only sensible way to do it. Your rooms match, your fabrics are ordered together, and you are not waiting on three separate deliveries.
Questions From Kinsale Customers
These come up most often from the town and the peninsula. Anything else is quicker on the phone.

Book a Kinsale Measure
Ring 023 884 7123 and tell us what the rooms are and roughly when you need them done.
For a whole house or a guesthouse it is often worth starting with an interior designer in Cork and planning the rooms together, rather than doing one window at a time.
What we make
F.A.Q.
Do you work with guesthouses and restaurants in Kinsale?
Commercial rooms are a steady part of the work, including fabrics to the right fire spec. Guesthouses and restaurants both come under that.
Can you do the whole house in one visit?
We plan it that way where we can. Ring with the number of rooms and we will arrange it.
What holds up best in strong harbour light?
Solid colours and heavier weaves hold their colour longer than a printed cotton. Your lining matters more than the face cloth, and a blackout or a dim-out will slow the fading right down.
Can you work on a Georgian sash without drilling the frame?
The pole or track goes on the wall above the reveal rather than into the sash itself. Old frames are left alone, and the drop is measured to suit.
Do you fit shutters in Kinsale?
Shutters are the one thing not stocked. Everything else for a period window is here, and we fit blinds in Cork that give you the same light control, or curtains in Cork on a pole above the reveal.
How is a second home handled if the owners are away?
Arrange one visit for the measure and one for the fit, and give us a key holder or a neighbour. Most whole-house jobs here are done exactly that way.
Is a whole guesthouse quoted as one job?
One figure for the lot, broken down by room if you want to see it that way. That is easier to sign off than a dozen separate quotes.
