About Us

Creating Beautiful Blinds in Northern Ireland Since 1991

Find out more about us: Village Blinds and Shutters

For over 30 years Village Blinds and Shutters have been a standard bearer for quality blinds in Northern Ireland. In 1991 when Harold McCloy began making and selling blinds in Ballymena he aimed only to supplement the income of his young family. 

Soon enough a site in Cullybackey was used to specialise in the production of Vertical, Venetian, and Roller Blinds. As this once-small team grew so did the desire for more blinds and soon enough Village Blinds outgrew the Cullybackey site, moving to Pennybridge in Ballymena in 2000.

Quality Craftsmanship That Endures 

Our shutters and blinds are proudly handcrafted right here in Northern Ireland by our skilled team of craftspeople. With over three decades of experience perfecting our locally-based manufacturing process, we create unparalleled quality built to withstand the test of time. 

At Village Blinds and Shutters, we back up our commitment to quality by providing a market-leading Five Year Guarantee Package on all our blinds and shutters to ensure you feel safe in knowing your investment is protected.

Village Blinds and Shutters Home Appointments FAQ

Our design consultant will arrive at the agreed time slot and ask you questions about your requirements and style preferences to help understand your project. They will measure your windows and discuss fabric/material options and provide you with a quotation based on your choices.

Depending on your requirements, a home appointment can take from 30 minutes for 1-10 blinds, to 60 minutes for 10+ blinds or window shutters. Our design consultant will work at your pace and we’re happy to stay longer to talk through your options and provide advice if you’d like.

We would ask ahead of the home appointment that you have arranged clear access to the window areas being measured and that any obstructing furniture or breakables near the windows are removed.

Once the windows are in, plastering has been completed and any tiling or skirting or architrave that might be close to the blinds has been installed. This will allow our design consultant to take accurate measurements.

Usually, our design consultant will be able to provide you with your quotation during your appointment.  Sometimes for some very bespoke projects pricing can take a little longer. If you haven’t heard back within 24 hours, give them a call or email and they will keep you updated.

Our production team work tirelessly to craft every single blind and shutter for our customers individually. Lead in times can vary depending on factors such as material availability and our production schedule. That being said we will always work to get your order as quickly as possible. Ask your design consultant for an up-to-date lead time estimate.
