Blinds for Every Type of Edinburgh Home
Edinburgh's housing stock is unusually varied. The right blind for a Stockbridge tenement bay window is rarely the right answer for a Corstorphine new build. After 50 years of fitting blinds across the city, here is what we typically recommend by property type.
Tenements & Period Flats
For sash and case windows in areas like Marchmont, Bruntsfield, Leith and Stockbridge, we usually fit roller blinds or roman blinds inside the recess. Both keep the period character of the window visible while controlling light. Deep tenement walls and uneven plasterwork are routine for us; we measure for them, not around them. For deep bay windows, made-to-measure curtains often work better than blinds alone.
Georgian & Victorian Townhouses
New Town and West End townhouses tend to have tall, narrow windows with deep recesses. Roman blinds in heavier fabrics suit the proportions and feel right for the architecture. For privacy without losing the view, day and night roller blinds are a strong fit. Heat retention matters in older single-glazed windows, so we will recommend thermal-lined options where appropriate.
New Builds & Modern Homes
Most new builds across Edinburgh and the Lothians have uPVC windows and doors, which makes them ideal for perfect fit blinds. They clip into the frame with no drilling, so there is no damage to your windows and no warranty issue. Roller blinds in plain modern fabrics are the most popular choice for open-plan kitchens and living rooms. Cordless and child-safe operation is available across the range.

Showroom open
Many blinds retailers rely on third-party suppliers. At Summerside, we manufacture in our own Leith workshop, so the team measuring your windows is connected to the team making and fitting your blinds.
Every blind we sell is cut, sewn and assembled by hand at our workshop on North Leith Sands, by the same people who come to your home to fit it. That changes three things for you.
- Quality is controlled end to end, from the fabric in to the finished blind on your window. That is why every product comes with a 3 year guarantee.
- Lead times are short. Most orders are designed, made and fitted within one to two weeks. There is no factory three counties away and no warranty hotline.
- The people who built your blind are the people who fix it, if anything ever needs adjusting. No subcontractors, no waiting.
From roller blinds for an Edinburgh tenement to commercial blinds for a city office, every order is built in Leith, by us.

What Edinburgh Customers Say
The guys from Summerside blinds did a replacement wooden blind for my elderly parents recently, and did a superb job. They quoted at a very good price, and a week to 10 days to manufacture. Called a week later and fitted the same day. Not only did they take the old one down, they removed it to save my parents the trouble and cleared up everything including all packaging and waste.
Fantastic service, good advice from James and Dermot. All three blinds was fitted perfectly in a professional manner. A local business who I'm pleased to say still manufacture all their own blinds in their workroom near Leith. The quality is stellar, will definitely be recommending to friends and family.
Had Summerside fit blackout roller blinds in our bedroom and living room. The measuring and fitting were done at no extra cost and the fit is perfect. They showed up on time and were very professional. Price was fair and the quality is great.
