blinds & awnings in Fowey
Cornwall's Most Romantic Harbour Town, Served with Precision and Care
blinds & awnings in Fowey, serving Cornwall since 1910
Fowey is one of Cornwall's most captivating towns, a small and ancient harbour community perched above the deep water estuary where the River Fowey meets the sea. Closely associated with Daphne du Maurier, who lived nearby at Menabilly and set much of her fiction in this landscape, Fowey attracts visitors and property buyers who respond to its combination of outstanding natural beauty, genuine character, and a sailing scene that is among the finest in the South West. The properties here range from tightly packed medieval town houses on the quay to substantial Victorian and Edwardian houses on the slopes above the town, and contemporary properties with panoramic estuary views. Rogers Blinds and Awnings serves Fowey and the estuary communities of Polruan, Golant, and the surrounding parishes.
made to measure blinds in Fowey
Fowey's historic building stock presents some of the most rewarding window covering challenges in Cornwall. Quayside cottages with small, deep set windows in thick stone walls need careful, precise measuring and products with slim profiles that do not dominate the opening. The larger Victorian and Edwardian houses above the town offer wide bay windows and substantial rooms that suit Roman blinds in quality fabrics, plantation shutters, and real wood Venetians. Contemporary properties on the estuary slopes, with panoramic glazing designed to capture the view, need motorised solar roller blinds that manage light and heat elegantly while preserving the outlook. We handle all of these situations as part of our standard service.

patio awnings & outdoor shading in Fowey
A garden or terrace above Fowey Estuary, looking out over the water to Polruan and beyond, is among the finest outdoor prospects in Cornwall. A Rogers retractable awning extends the enjoyment of these spaces through the season, providing shade during the brightest summer hours and making outdoor dining comfortable even when the sun is at its strongest. We install full cassette motorised awnings with marine grade fabrics across Fowey and the estuary area, specifying wind sensor protection for any installation with direct estuary or open water exposure.
