Where can I get blinds?

[Ru88ell]

The pics below are from a boat in build at the HR factory in Sweden. I'd like to get some similar blinds for my boat. Can anyone recommend a maker?

I put a sail bag over the hatch on the outside

Opps may have missed the ops point.

...roller blinds...

I've just removed roller blinds. I don't like them, that's why I asked about pleated.

Jill is probably easier to please than my missus.

Don't think they are a standard product but made specifically for that application. should not be difficult to find a local curtain maker to make something similar.

Standard caravan curtain track. Just have the curtains (blinds) made up by any upholsterer.

I bought the Ikea re-coil blackout blinds. Work perfectly and very cheap. They work horizontally if you increase the re-coil tension. They come with a pull down tab so i bought stainless bungee hook things to secure them.

we took a look at all the retro-fit screen/blinds and roller blinds and oceanair screen blinds.

We found and fitted some caravan units for our saloon hatches and our forepeak main hatch similar to these.....

or these.......

and they have proven highly successful.

They have a bug screen, and a blind with a silvered top surface to reflect light/heat.

If the right size is fitted then easy access is gained through to the hatch etc.
The long sides were cut down in the main hatch unit of ours, which was a simple hacksaw job.

They are lower cost than oceanair but quite satisfactory for our needs.

Great value when compared to the "boat" equivalent.
