Lex Blinds: made-to-measure window treatments from a Loughton showroom

Lex Blinds is a UK supplier of indoor and outdoor window treatments operating from a showroom at 190 High Road in Loughton, Essex. The company presents itself as one of the country's leading external blinds specialists, with more than eleven years of activity, and structures its offer around made-to-measure production, including non-standard orders. Measuring and fitting are included in the service, and customers can also choose a supply-only option.

The catalogue is unusually broad for a single supplier: the company states it holds over 15,000 fabrics and designs and covers all types of window treatments under one roof. Appointments can be requested as a free in-home visit or as a virtual consultation, and the site also addresses architects, designers and commercial clients as separate audiences with their own project sections.

Blinds, curtains, shutters and outdoor shading

The product range is organised into several families. Within blinds, the catalogue lists roller, day and night, Roman, wooden, vertical, blackout, Venetian, pleated, thermal, Allusion, conservatory, electric, Perfect Fit, skylight, special shape and Umbra models, alongside Eco Photo Roller blinds, natural leather Venetian blinds and options for shaped and large windows. Curtains, awnings and shutters complete the interior side, with shutters offered in café-style, full-height and tier-on-tier configurations.

For exteriors, Lex Blinds offers roller shutters, external roller blinds, outdoor roof blinds, pergolas, verandas, outdoor Venetian blinds, external louvres marketed as sun breakers, fly screens, outdoor electric blinds and windbreakers. The range therefore covers both shading and insect protection, and several products are available in electric versions.

Blind Screen: blackout and insect protection combined

Among the newer additions highlighted on the site is Blind Screen, a dual-purpose window treatment that combines an insect screen with a blackout layer. It uses ultra-fine stainless-steel mesh intended to keep out even small insects while allowing air to circulate. Certain models, including the Model 01 and Model 02 Dual Blinds, integrate a blackout shade and the insect screen into a single slimline product, providing privacy and darkness in rooms such as bedrooms, media rooms or nurseries.

The company cites research from the University of Salford indicating that Blind Screen reduces indoor heat gain by up to 49%, and notes that its insulated blackout layers help prevent heat loss in winter. The product is presented as suitable for households, offices, commercial units such as retail stores and customer-facing spaces, and specialised rooms including home cinemas, yoga studios and bathrooms.

Energy efficiency, guarantees and finance

Energy efficiency runs through the company's presentation of its range, which it describes as both eco-friendly and affordable. Alongside this, Lex Blinds offers up to a ten-year warranty and an aftercare service, and states that it will not be beaten on price under its own price promise. Interest-free finance at 0% APR is available on its products, subject to status and credit checks; the company acts as an Introducer Appointed Representative of Phoenix Financial Consultants Limited, a credit broker authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

The site also advertises a first-order discount of 10%, applicable only to a first order, not combinable with other offers, vouchers or promotions, with a minimum order of £500 and a maximum discount of £200.

Projects, trade clients and showroom

Lex Blinds publishes residential projects, commercial projects and a dedicated section for architects and designers, with examples such as a wide outdoor roller blind installation and automatic blackout roller blinds. The company reports that it was selected as a finalist in the Best External Shading Installation and Best Independent Showroom categories at the BBSA Excellence Awards, and it is a member of the BBSA. Child safety is addressed as a specific topic in its documentation, alongside brochures and payment options.

Customers can visit the Loughton showroom, where the range is displayed, or arrange a home measuring and fitting appointment; the company states that appointments can be requested within 48 hours.
