    Commercial roller blind installation in Hinckley

    The Corona Contracts team recently completed a noteworthy project for the Peninsula Group at their Hinckley, Leicestershire site. Drawing on our expertise in commercial roller blinds, we designed, manufactured and efficiently installed 60 custom roller blinds to spec as part of the company’s ongoing refurbishment at the Hinckley facility. The installation was strategically carried out overnight to minimize disruption to Peninsula Group’s operations and fit perfectly with their refurbishment schedule. This was a great opportunity to showcase our commitment to flexibility, precision, and customer satisfaction. The blinds seamlessly integrated into our client’s schedule and used materials and colours specifically chosen to perfectly match the aesthetic of their interior.

    Cubicle curtain track manufacture & installation for beauty school

    Corona Contracts recently completed a successful project for another happy client in the North West. Our team designed, produced, and installed 48 custom cubicle curtain tracks for a prominent beauty school in the region as part of their ongoing refurbishment. Our tailored design perfectly met the school’s functional needs, offering a quick and convenient way to segment the room with smooth and reliable curtain tracks. The tracks also look great, with a satin silver finish which is sympathetic to the other fixtures and fittings in the school. This project is a perfect example of our commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. By handling both the design and installation processes in-house, we were able to ensure seamless coordination and communication throughout the project. This minimised potential issues, kept everything on schedule and guaranteed a quality end result.
