Plantation Blinds

Plantation Blinds: Bespoke Design, Manufacture and Installation

Plantation blinds are a stylish and practical solution for commercial spaces, offering excellent light control, durability and a refined finish. Defined by their wider slats and clean, structured appearance, plantation blinds are typically crafted from wood or high-quality faux wood and are available in a wide range of colours and finishes.

At Corona Contracts, we design, manufacture and install made-to-measure plantation blinds for businesses across the North West, delivering a complete service from consultation through to installation.

What Are Plantation Blinds?

Plantation blinds are often associated with plantation shutters due to their similar appearance, but they are distinct products.

Both feature adjustable slats (or louvres) that allow you to control light and privacy, but plantation blinds offer greater flexibility and are often better suited to a wider range of commercial applications.

Key features of plantation blinds:

  • Wider slats for improved light control
  • Available in wood and faux wood finishes
  • Suitable for both modern and traditional interiors
  • Easy to maintain and clean
  • Made-to-measure for a precise fit

Plantation Blinds vs Plantation Shutters

Although the two are often confused, there are important differences:

Plantation blinds:

  • Mounted similarly to traditional blinds
  • More flexible in installation and operation
  • Typically more cost-effective
  • Ideal for a wide range of commercial environments

Plantation shutters:

  • Fixed, solid structures attached to the window frame
  • More permanent architectural feature
  • Higher upfront cost
  • Less flexible once installed

If you’re unsure which is right for your space, our team can guide you through the best option based on your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We provide full aftercare and can offer maintenance services if required. Commercial blinds are long-lasting, but in high-traffic environments or buildings with automated systems, occasional servicing helps ensure continued smooth operation and prolongs lifespan. Our team is always available to assist if adjustments, repairs or fabric replacements are ever needed.

Choosing the right solution depends on window size, usage, light conditions, privacy requirements and the aesthetic of the space. We offer site assessments and consultations to understand your needs before recommending suitable options. Our team will guide you through fabric types, colours, control systems and safety considerations to ensure your commercial blinds perform effectively and complement your interior design.

We aim to minimise disruption to your operations. Our installation teams are experienced in working in occupied commercial spaces and can schedule work around business hours, school timetables or visiting hours. Because we manufacture blinds in-house, lead times are efficient and installation is carried out quickly and professionally. This ensures your commercial blinds are fitted with minimal downtime and maximum care.

Yes. All of our commercial blinds are made using flame-retardant fabrics that meet current UK fire safety regulations. This is particularly essential for public buildings, schools, healthcare environments and workplaces where compliance is mandatory. We can supply any necessary documentation to support safety assessments, building control or compliance inspections.

Commercial blinds are built for everyday use in busy environments and are significantly more robust than domestic blinds. We manufacture using commercial-grade fabrics and mechanisms, including components from trusted brands such as Mottura, ensuring long-term reliability. With proper maintenance and occasional servicing, well-made commercial blinds can last many years without significant wear, making them a cost-effective investment.

Yes, commercial blinds can be printed with company logos, brand colours, directional messaging or graphic designs. Branded commercial blinds are popular in corporate reception areas, retail showrooms, hospitality venues and public-facing commercial spaces. This subtle form of visual identity reinforces your organisation’s professional image while still fulfilling the practical functions of shading and privacy.

Yes. We design and manufacture commercial blinds specifically for educational and healthcare environments. Options include anti-ligature blinds for mental health and secure units, antimicrobial fabrics for infection control, and blackout blinds for classrooms or treatment rooms. All blinds supplied for hospitals, clinics and care environments meet strict safety, hygiene and durability standards to ensure they perform reliably under daily use.

Absolutely. We supply motorised and fully automated commercial blinds that can be controlled by remote handset, wall switch, smartphone, tablet or integrated into central smart building systems. This is ideal for premises with tall windows, large glazing areas or areas where manual pulley operation would be inconvenient. Automated commercial blinds can also be programmed to open and close at set times to optimise energy performance and enhance security when buildings are unoccupied.

Yes, commercial blinds can significantly improve energy efficiency. Solar control fabrics help reduce heat build-up during summer months by reflecting sunlight, which creates a cooler indoor environment and reduces reliance on air conditioning. In winter, certain fabric options also help insulate the space, retaining warmth and reducing heating requirements. By improving temperature consistency, commercial blinds contribute to lower energy bills and a more comfortable space for employees, visitors or customers.

For office spaces, roller blinds and vertical blinds are among the most popular choices. Roller blinds provide a clean, modern finish and excellent glare control, which is especially important for computer-based work. Vertical blinds offer flexible light management and work well for larger window spans or meeting rooms. For high-end, contemporary office designs, many businesses now opt for motorised commercial blinds, which allow for smooth operation via remote or automated building systems. This not only improves usability but also supports a sleek, professional aesthetic throughout the workspace.
