Blinds & Shutters - Issue 4/2023
As we reach the end of summer which has not been the greatest in terms of weather it will be interesting to see which way the wind is blowing in regard to the environment as the next general election approaches. I live close to London and the ULEZ extension has been on top of the agenda for many people. The statistics on London’s air quality are extremely worrying with the WHO saying that air pollution far exceeds limits. Do we ignore the evidence and continue to put lives at risk? I would imagine we would not like a polluting business near our home or place of work and it is impressive that blinds companies are stepping up and taking on board their environmental responsibilities. We are all aware that there is a cost involved, but it seems a small price to pay for a healthy future. John Hatcher editor

NEW PRODUCTS<br />
A wide Arena<br />
Arena has a range<br />
of products that it<br />
can supply to the<br />
trade<br />
Arena has been supplying made-to-measure<br />
blinds and curtains for over 30 years, with<br />
hundreds of fabrics on offer to their trade<br />
customers. With the market evolving more than<br />
ever, we thought it was time to expand and offer<br />
even more fabrics to our customers.<br />
This summer, we came together with Louvolite<br />
and Eclipse to offer you fabrics from their ranges of<br />
roller blinds. All of the fabrics can now be ordered<br />
through the Arena website, with the chosen fabric<br />
being manufactured into a made-to-measure blind<br />
in our factory and delivered by our teams on their<br />
van network.<br />
We offer all of the same fantastic Arena service,<br />
so getting the fabrics you love has never been so<br />
seamless. We can offer same day, 3 day, and our<br />
standard 4 day plus delivery across the Eclipse Style<br />
Studio and Market Collection books, the Louvolite<br />
Roller books and our Aquarius book. You can tailor<br />
these roller blinds to your customers’ needs even<br />
more, as all roller fabrics from all three brands can<br />
be manufactured to include a Somfy motor, which<br />
allows additional add ons like the TaHoma Switch<br />
Smart Hub, Wall Switch and Solar Panel to be used<br />
within the home.<br />
Coming into autumn, we are happy to announce<br />
you can get all the same service features on<br />
Vertical fabrics too! The Slimline Vogue and<br />
Senses headrail systems are available with all Eclipse,<br />
Louvolite and Aquarius fabrics, so you can get the<br />
best systems in the market to go with your<br />
favourite brand of fabric.<br />
To get hold of your Eclipse, Louvolite and<br />
Aquarius books today, speak to your sales manager<br />
