Blinds & Shutters - Issue 3/2023
Summer seems to have arrived and I imagine it’s peak season for companies that are involved in the awnings and solar shading markets. There seems to a lot of choices out there and it will be interesting to see how the home improvement market copes with the increasing of interest rates over the last few months. Lots of fixed mortgage rates are coming to an end, from historically low levels, so it way create another shock to consumers. So fingers crossed that it’s not as bad as some economists would have us believe and hopefully the rest of the summer will be long and hot!

20 years of service<br />
Custom West says<br />
it has provided 20<br />
years of service<br />
and quality<br />
20 years ago, the Custom West brand was<br />
born. 2003 saw the need for a specialist<br />
shutter supplier to come onto the market<br />
and lead the way for window solutions, and that's<br />
where we came in. Two decades later, that demand<br />
can still be seen, and Custom West remains market<br />
leading for custom-made plantation shutters<br />
because of this.<br />
Now coming into the Summer months, 20 years<br />
after we first launched, the need for shutters during<br />
the warmer weather is there more than ever.<br />
Sunshine coming through windows can be difficult<br />
to control sometimes, however it can be easier to<br />
take hold of the sunlight and tailor it with shutters<br />
to meet your customers’ requirements.<br />
Cafe-style shutters and Tier-on-Tier styles allow<br />
your customers to select the areas of window that<br />
require more controlled sunlight, perfect if natural<br />
light is still wanting to be maintained. Bi-fold<br />
solutions have become more common over the<br />
last 20 years, and our tracked shutters seem to be<br />
a very popular choice for these styles of windows<br />
and doors. Generally, any style of our Engineered<br />
Wood, ABS, basswood and premium hardwood<br />
shutters can be beneficial throughout the summer<br />
months, helping to keep rooms cool and shading<br />
areas from the sun. Our new Osmo wax stained<br />
shutters are available in all styles too, with this<br />
additional range contributing to creating the<br />
perfect natural, summer ready look within the<br />
home.<br />
We are passionate about the quality of service<br />
and product that we provide. With all of our<br />
shutter ranges being guaranteed for 3 years, and<br />
with our lead times as low as 3 weeks too, now is<br />
the time to choose Custom West as your shutter<br />
specialists.<br />
