“Stepping into a Luxaflex® Showroom has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Who would have thought that there were so many options to choose from. I instantly felt relaxed with the retailer, who was extremely knowledgeable about all the Luxaflex® products, which helped me make the right decision for my home.

Accurately measuring window frames is critical and can be a daunting task especially if you’ve not had to do this before. The same goes for fitting, choosing to buy through an expert provides guaranteed peace of mind.

Our experts will not only measure the windows but we will also check important details like light or privacy needs, to help you make the right product choice.

Once your new window treatments are ready your local retailer will return to install them and provide you with a demo.

You can help support these businesses and so many others like them by choosing to shop locally.

Phil Lee from Curtain Call in Richmond said: “My mum first started the business in 1997 and I joined later in 2007 after leaving school. We’ve evolved over the years and started selling Luxaflex window treatments in 2005. We’re not just a business, we’re part of the community, everyone knows us by our first name and I like to think we’re a valued and respected asset to the high street”.
