Wow! Look no further

I was advised by my son who lives in Lisbon to buy Weinor blinds for my house. His architect had used them for his property.
I looked online for a stockist and was delighted to see that Penumbra are a very highly rated company and now I know why.
Stuart came to survey and advise what was needed, the experience from start to completion has been excellent.
A fantastic 5 metre external blind and automatic Velux interior blinds for the skylights in the vaulted ceiling have made my open plan kitchen and living room into a space that works so well now.
Expert advice, fitting and communication, and importantly very fair pricing it has been a pleasure to do business with Stuart and Penumbra

Excellent!

From measuring to fitting, Penumbra offer an outstanding service. They are professional in every way with excellent staff. It is so rare these days to find a company who aim to please and are capable of delivering a quality product. We are thrilled with our Allusion/Horizon blinds and the attention to detail given to the fitting. We would not hesitate to recommend Penumbra.

External blind provision and installation.

We've had two sets of external blinds installed by Stuart and his team. In both cases the work was undertaken swiftly, efficiently and carefully. We're very happy with both the quality of the product, and of the installation.

Patio canopy

When we were looking to have a sun canopy fitted our neighbour recommended Penumbra…as it turned out they had fitted two canopies in our new development. With their competitive prices and professional team of fitters it isn’t difficult to see why customers are confident to share their experience. On a personal level, Stuart was very patient with our delays and we couldn’t be more happy now that it has been fitted.

Great service in our new build house

Having moved into a new build house with stunning architecture features, we were challenged regarding suitable window coverings. Stuart and his brilliant team at Penumbra Blinds came to our rescue designing state of the art blinds that have absolutely enhanced our property. And we can now sleep and enjoy window ventilation thanks to our motorised blinds.
The team are professional, personable, and patient. Nothing is too much trouble. They depict old fashioned customer service and are a joy to do business with.

Very efficient and professional

I had some conservatory blinds fitted. They look great and the whole experience from start to finish was a very professional but also a very personal service. I would highly recommend Penumbra.

Installation and Aftercare from Penumbra Blinds

The installation of our awning was first class but when we required some aftercare we found Stuart to be so helpful and prompt in his response. This level of customer service is exemplary and I would recommend this company without hesitation.

Pressure free service!

I ordered a cassita II awning from Penumbra last December and it has recently been installed, I was very impressed with how quickly it was fitted. Stuart and team were very polite and unlike some companies I have used in the past for various other household items, it was a pressure free service. 5/5, Highly recommend!

Superb products, with customer service excellence

My brother had an awning installed and recommended Stuart to us. He took the time to visit and talk us through the options. He also recommended some very cost effective patio heaters when I asked about them. Absolutely no hard sell - this is personal, friendly, customer service excellence at its best. Stuart and his team are all so friendly and professional. If you’re looking to make better use of your outdoor space, make Penumbra your first contact for advice. Great pricing too…

Excellent service like never before!

This company was recommended to us by our son. (Which is high praise indeed - if you knew him you'd know why!) So we asked Stewart to come and quote for blinds for our house. He came on time with so many choices we couldn't believe it! He didn't rush us, refused a deposit, and promised that all 8 blinds would be in for Christmas! Unbelievable. Two guys came - installed all electric blinds with the minimum of fuss. I had no clearing up after them... and would certainly recommend them to my friends. So professional and sympathetic to the needs of a customer! How refreshing!
