Britain's Favourite Seaside Town — Premium Window Coverings to Match
blinds & awnings in St Ives & Carbis Bay, serving Cornwall since 1910
St Ives is among the most celebrated seaside destinations in Britain, a town of extraordinary light, a thriving arts scene anchored by Tate St Ives, and beaches that consistently rank among the finest in Europe. The combination of artistic heritage, exceptional natural beauty, and a quality of life that attracts buyers from across the country has produced some of the highest property values in Cornwall. From the tightly packed fishing cottages of Downlong to the sweeping contemporary properties of the Carbis Bay hillside, St Ives offers a remarkable range of home types, each demanding a thoughtful approach to window coverings. Rogers Blinds and Awnings serves St Ives, Carbis Bay, Lelant, Hayle, and the surrounding west Cornwall communities.
made to measure blinds in St Ives & Carbis Bay
The famous St Ives light is the reason artists have been coming here for over a century, and it is also the reason window coverings matter so much in this town. North facing studios, south facing harbourside apartments, west facing cottages above Porthmeor Beach, all present different light management challenges. Our made to measure range handles all of them. For the ancient fishing cottages of Downlong, plantation shutters and Roman blinds in natural fabrics complement the character of the buildings without looking incongruous. For the contemporary luxury properties of Carbis Bay and the hilltop developments above the town, motorised solar roller blinds handle extensive glazing elegantly, preserving the views while controlling the glare that makes south and west facing rooms uncomfortable in summer.

patio awnings & outdoor shading in St Ives & Carbis Bay
A terrace or garden in St Ives with views over the harbour, the Island, or Carbis Bay is one of the finest outdoor spaces in Britain. The challenge is that St Ives can also be exposed, with Atlantic weather arriving rapidly from the west. Our full cassette motorised awning range is ideal for this environment, protecting the mechanism and fabric completely when retracted and deploying at the touch of a button on those long, warm Cornish summer evenings. We specify marine grade fabrics and wind sensor integration for all St Ives and Carbis Bay installations, ensuring your awning is protected automatically when the wind picks up off the Atlantic.
