About

As Leicester’s oldest awning and window blind makers we guarantee the highest quality products, and good old fashioned customer service that is second to none

We are the quintessential family business that has evolved from one man with a motorcycle and sidecar, to a professional and modern multi product window blind and awning manufacturer and installer whilst still retaining the values that have been passed down through the generations

We offer a very personalised local service and are very protective of our reputation, always striving to ensure our clients appreciate both our service and the quality of our products

Established in 1887, by Mr E.A Barlow, the company flourished and in 1927 he felt he had earned a more restful time, deciding to retire and pass the business on to someone else’s capable hands

Those capable hands belonged to Frank Coleman, and the company has been successfully run by the Coleman family ever since

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff - they went out of their way to make sure I understood and got the right blinds - I came out of the shop knowing I had done the right thing. All the blinds are of a superb quality and fitting. A big thank you.

We've used Barlow blinds in the past and didn't hesitate when we decorated and decided to have blinds in that room. We would recommend visiting the shop where they have a wide selection of products on view, also the staff are very knowledgeable about their products without pressuring for a sale. Our appointment was made for measuring later for fitting. All staff kept to time were polite and professional. We are very satisfied with the result and would highly recommend the company.

We decided to replace our outside awning with an electric model. Contacted Barlow Blinds with which we have had good service in the past and were satisfied to find they were suppliers. Visited the shop and was able to select a suitable example and deposit paid. Arranged a date for erection. The job was completed satisfactorily with the minimum of disruption and although we have not yet had cause to use it, it appears to be exactly what we required. The installers were prompt in arriving, obliging and helpful and to date the project has proved to be entirely successful. We have used Barlow Blinds for a number of years and always found their work satisfactory.
