CONTENTS www.blindsmagazine.co.uk From the Editor Welcome to the <strong>Blinds</strong> & <strong>Shutters</strong> <strong>Buyers</strong>’ <strong>Guide</strong> <strong>2024</strong> the only UK directory for blinds, shutters, awnings and grilles. This is the essential guide for manufacturers, retailers and specifiers such as architects and designers, to source components and finished products,. Each year I write a little note about the events of the past year, and how they have affected the industry. Like most my age we only seem to recall the difficulties. However, it is always good to read how the industry circumnavigates each situation. One thing is clear, the professionals in this industry are adept at custom solutions, This edition of the <strong>Buyers</strong>’ <strong>Guide</strong> contains useful and practical information, such as the revised Glossary that starts on page 5. On page 26 over 2000 people visited the Smart Buildings Show 2023. Features on new products start on page 28, whilst the BSI revised some of the Relevant Standards, and this section can be found on page 109. The A-Z Section and <strong>Buyers</strong>’ <strong>Guide</strong> Section provides information relating to 450 businesses and 50 different product types. Each year we review the categories in the <strong>Buyers</strong>’ <strong>Guide</strong> section. This year we have added the following headings to make the guide more comprehensive: In the INTERNAL section, Solar binds has been added. We hope that you find this year’s directory an invaluable aid to sourcing suppliers to provide the solution to your specific needs. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the businesses that have contributed to the completion of this directory.
