Day and Night Blinds in Selly Oak
Front rooms in Selly Oak are close to the pavement. That is part of the charm of a terraced street, but it means a choice between daylight and privacy that most people make badly, usually with a net curtain. Day and night blinds remove the choice. Two layers of fabric carry alternating sheer and solid bands; nudge the blind and the sheer stripes line up to let light through, nudge it again and the solid bands close the gaps.
Where day and night blinds work in Selly Oak homes
They work particularly well in the through-lounges common across B29, where the front window faces the road and the back looks over a garden. The front can stay softly screened all day while the room still feels bright. In Weoley Castle semis, with their generous casements, a dim-out band makes the same blind useful in bedrooms too. Cassette tops hide the roll for a cleaner finish, and perfect fit frames are available for uPVC.
Day and night blinds are priced individually after the free measure rather than through a bundle. Book online and, as long as no fixed-price offer is in play, BN-14 knocks 14% off. Band widths range from narrow, almost pinstriped looks to bolder stripes, and colours stay mostly in calm whites, linens and greys. The fitter brings samples so you can watch how each one behaves against your own glass.
Day and night blinds are a little thicker at the top than a simple roller because two layers run round the tube, so recess depth matters. The fitter checks that first and, where space is tight, fits the blind outside the reveal. Operation is by a continuous chain with a child-safety tensioner, or by a motor if the window is out of reach. They are not a full blackout, so for a bedroom where real darkness matters, we may suggest pairing one with a blackout roller behind it or choosing a dedicated blackout style instead.

Questions we hear at the measure
Can people see in from the pavement?
When the solid stripes line up, the view in during daylight is blocked. After dark with a lamp on, a little silhouette can show, so we usually suggest a dim-out band for street-facing rooms.
Are they priced as a bundle?
They are quoted individually after the free measure. If you book online and do not use a fixed-price offer, the BN-14 code saves you 14%.
Will one work in a bedroom?
With a dim-out band it can, but it will not be as dark as a dedicated blackout roller. The fitter can show both so you can judge.
