Blinds in Parkview

Heritage family homes near Zoo Lake with original window proportions worth respecting.

Parkview is the most intact of the Parks in window terms. A great many houses still carry their original steel casements and slim timber sashes, in proportions that a bulky modern blind will simply ruin. The correct move here is restraint: slim 25mm venetians, neat cellular blinds and inside-mounted rollers that sit within the reveal and let the frame keep doing the architectural work.

Single glazing is the other reality. An original steel window loses heat fast on a July night and gains it just as fast on a January afternoon. Cellular honeycomb blinds are the quiet fix — the cells trap a layer of air against the glass, which measurably improves comfort without touching the frame or the facade.

Most requested in Parkview

  • Cellular honeycomb blinds behind single-glazed steel windows
  • Slim 25mm aluminium venetians, inside-mounted into the reveal
  • Timber venetians for the character rooms at the front
  • Blind repairs and restringing for blinds already in the house
Slim aluminium venetian blind fitted inside a steel-framed dining room window, slats half open, cool midday light across the table edge
