• Create a safe, durable, and effective learning environment.

    Managing light in an educational setting is a unique challenge. Although natural light is vital for student alertness, uncontrolled glare can make interactive whiteboards unreadable. Furthermore, safety and durability are non-negotiable requirements in schools and colleges.

    At Unidrape, we specialise in heavy-duty school blinds and curtains. Whether you are refurbishing a single classroom or fitting out a new university wing, we provide solutions that are “Safe by Design” and built to withstand daily wear and tear.

    Child Safety is Our Priority

    Above all, the safety of students is paramount. Therefore, we strictly adhere to BS EN 13120 legislation regarding internal blinds.

    We recommend school blinds that are “Safe by Design.” For example, we use crank-handle or wand-operated systems that eliminate hanging loops and chains entirely. Consequently, this removes all risk of strangulation and ensures your facility is fully compliant with current health and safety standards.

     

    Multicoloured office blinds

  • Heavy-Duty Durability

    Schools are high-traffic environments. Unfortunately, standard domestic quality blinds often break under heavy usage. To prevent this, we only supply commercial-grade systems designed for longevity.

    • Robust Mechanisms: We use metal brackets and heavy-duty rollers. As a result, our blinds can handle the demands of daily school usage.
    • Low Maintenance: Many of our fabrics are wipe-clean and mould-resistant.

    Glare Control for Whiteboards

    Modern classrooms rely on screens and projectors. However, direct sunlight can render these useless. Specifically, we offer high-performance screen and dimout fabrics. These materials reduce glare on interactive whiteboards whilst keeping the classroom bright enough for reading and writing.

    Screen motorised roller blinds for glare reduction

  • Recommended Systems for Education

     Crank Handle Roller Blinds

    The most popular choice for classrooms. Because they have no chains, they are safe and vandal-resistant.

    • Best for: Classrooms, science labs, and corridors.
    Blackout Blinds

    Essential for media rooms and science laboratories. In these spaces, you often need total darkness for experiments or presentations.

    • Best for: Laboratories, lecture halls, and drama studios.
     Stage & Hall Curtains

    We manufacture large-scale stage curtains for assembly halls. Moreover, we have a wide range of commercial quality aluminium tracks including manual and motorised operation.

    • Best for: Main halls, auditoriums, and drama departments.

    Super happy with the price & service

    Had our Bedroom double aspect windows, measured and fitted with wooden shutters. Whilst waiting we were also offered and fitted with paper blackout blinds, fitted by Amanda & the team. Super happy with the price & service and look forward to Unidrape completing the rest of our windows, with these shutters. Additionally, they provide a clean & tidy service, whilst fitting & took all rubbish away.

    D.E.Martindale

    We love the products & friendly staff

    Very good service, not all items arrived at once so they took two visits to our house. We love the products and friendly staff so much that my in laws also had blinds fitted by them.

    R.H

    Provide an excellent service

    Amanda and Kelly provide an excellent service. They listen to what you would like and make valuable suggestions. The quality of the curtains, blinds and soft furnishings we purchased is very high. They arrived when stated and were fitted well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Unidrape. I have used them 3 times now and will continue to do so.

    Anita

    Obviously the result of experience

    Good product range and lead time, competitive price and efficient installation. Really appreciated the objective advice on colour and product choice, obviously the result of experience.

    Dave C.

    Well priced and very professional

    Originally enquired a well known retailer but accidentally came across Unidrape and found the quality so much better. Well price and very professional. Will definitely recommend.

    Maria

    Excellent service

    Excellent service from Amanda and her team from visiting the shop, estimating and having 3 blinds selected and fitted. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

    Andy

    Very very good

    Very very good, thank you. The quality of their service is excellent.

    J. Trappitt

    We would certainly recommend Unidrape

    Our full length dining room curtains are great! They did require altering after they had dropped & had to be returned to the makers. The material was heavy & dropped more than anticipated. However, throughout the whole procedure Amanda & Harry were charming and professional when fitting the curtains & delivery times were met. We would certainly recommend Unidrape!

    Margaret McKercher

    It was a great experience

    I went into Unidrape to buy a blind for my bathroom and ended up buying blinds for 4 of my rooms.  It didn’t stop there, when I realised that they could also provide a reupholstery service, so my two settees were done and cushions. Amanda, Neil and Sam were brilliant from measuring, sourcing fabric and fitting it was a great experience. Brilliant to find a gem like this in Welwyn Garden.

    Jennie

    I recommend Unidrape 100% to any future customer

    Originally I went to one of the big stores, but couldn’t believe the price I was quoted for just for one set of curtains! I then found Unidrape and went along to their shop. Kelly in the shop was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble in trying to help me (I’m useless at making design choices). She arranged to get me a few samples and also arranged for Amanda to come and do a survey and help me make my final choices. Amanda too is fabulous. Helped me choose the correct style of curtains and also Perfect Fit blinds. The order was made and the date given for completion was correct to the day. Amanda and Harry came to fit both blinds and curtains. Cannot tell you how pleased I am. They look absolutely fabulous. I therefore recommend Unidrape 100% to any future customer.

    A very positive experience and I would recommend to friends and family.

    Overall, I would rate the work 5 out of 5. I found the overall service very good. There was a wide range of choice with respect to fabrics and blinds. The help and advice both in the shop and during the home survey was very useful and helped me make a decision I am happy with. All the staff members I met were friendly and polite throughout. I don’t have any particular suggestions for improvement. Overall a very positive experience and I would recommend to friends and family.

    Very professional

    Having just moved into the area I was looking for a reasonably priced blind supplier and installer for my new house, I needed to look no further than Unidrape, very personal service undertaken by a very professional and knowledgeable team, would recommend anytime, very good!!

    John

    The blinds look great!

    Staff in shop are always friendly and welcoming. I popped in for a quick chat about blinds before Christmas and this was remembered months later. When windows were measured and blinds fitted, it was done quickly and in a friendly manner. The blinds look great! Thank you.

    N.J

    Very impressed & happy with the service

    I have been very happy with the service from Unidrape Blinds. Everything went very smoothly, and all the staff members were very helpful and very confident in all they did.

    I have recommended them to my son and daughter in law, and they too were very impressed and happy with the service and the endproduct.

    R.S

    Really pleased with the results.

    After meeting Kelly who was very helpful, we decided to order curtains and blinds for our new house. Amanda, who came to measure, was extremely knowledgeable about her products and offered advice on colours and fabrics when needed. We are very grateful to her and are really pleased with the results. The service, including fitting, was prompt and efficient.

    Mr & Mrs S.

    I can’t recommend them highly enough

    I scoured the high streets for a roller blind for bi fold doors, I didn’t want two blinds. John Lewis , etc., told me that it was impossible but my Architect told me about Unidrape. Amanda in the shop was fantastic in her ideas, views and understanding. They let me take samples home to look at them in the surroundings. Within 3 weeks we had fitted a beautiful single blind that hides away in the ceiling (unidrapes idea!). I can’t recommend Unidrape highly enough. Thank you.

    Debbie

    Cannot recommend them highly enough.

    We have used Unidrape Blinds & Interiors on a number of occasions over the past few years and they have always exceeded our expectations. In addition to offering a very broad range of blinds, curtains, flooring and other furnishing products, they are competitively priced and, importantly, they always provide a consistently reliable and extremely helpful advisory, delivery and installation service. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

    J.W

    Excellent service & good quality products

    Excellent service, good quality products, pleasant to deal with. Will use you again and recommend to others. Thank you!

    A.S
