Controls on your wooden blinds?

Blind control location

The California Company offers a choice of 4 blind ranges. The raise and tilt controls are supplied as follows.

Essential 25mm 35mm 50mm & Contemporary 50mm
These 3 blind ranges are supplied with cord controls for raising & lowering the slats on the right side of the blind and a cord control for titling the slats on the left side of the blind. As standard, all toggles on the string controls will be the wood design in the matching paint or stain finish of the blind. There is an option to upgrade to a steel or brass toggle during the blinds ordering process on our website. Click here to view our blinds store online.

Designer 50mm & Shutteresque 65mm curved slats
With our shutteresque blind you will have the choice of putting the raise and tilt controls on either the left or right side of the blind. If you prefer, all controls can be located on the same side of the blind on blinds measuring between 456mm and 1400mm. As standard, all toggles on the string controls will be the wood design in the matching paint or stain finish of the blind. You have the option to upgrade from the standard wood toggles on the string controls and these steel or brass toggles can be selected during the blind ordering process.

Where you intend to fit one or more blinds in a bay window, we do request that you advise us of the design at the point of ordering. We will then ensure that each blind supplied will have symmetrical controls location. All blinds are supplied with matching pelmets as standard. Blinds fitting outside a recess can be requested with end returns on the pelmet. This means that the blind box will be completely enclosed and covered by the pelmet on all 3 sides.
