In a busy pub, bar, or restaurant, every little detail shapes the customer experience. From lighting and temperature to privacy and décor, your window coverings play a bigger role than you might think. At Barlow Blinds, we specialise in strong, UK-made blinds and awnings that help hospitality venues strike the perfect balance between style and practicality.

Whether you want to improve comfort, cut energy costs or simply refresh your interiors, our made-to-measure blinds are designed to handle the demands of busy hospitality settings, without compromising on looks.

Blinds Designed for Hospitality: Practical, Stylish, and Made to Last

We know the challenges pubs and restaurants face when it comes to shading. With high footfall, long hours and ever-changing light conditions, you need blinds that are as reliable as they are attractive.

That’s why all of our blinds and awnings are manufactured in-house here in the UK. This gives us faster turnaround times, complete quality control and designs tailored to your venue.

Control Sunlight and Glare – All Day Long

Sunlight streaming through the windows can create a warm atmosphere, but it can also cause problems. From glare on TV screens to uncomfortable dining conditions, managing natural light is vital for the right ambience.

Our blinds for pubs and restaurants, whether roller, vertical, or Venetian are available with specialist fabrics that block up to 97% of harmful UV rays. This means softer, diffused light throughout the day, better visibility, and improved comfort, all while keeping that natural glow.

Keep Guests Comfortable All Year Round

Energy efficiency is more important than ever in hospitality. Our blinds and awnings don’t just look good, they work hard too. In summer, they help reduce heat build-up, keeping your space cool and lowering air conditioning costs. In winter, they add insulation to help trap warmth indoors.

For outdoor areas such as terraces and beer gardens, our awnings provide shelter from the weather, so you can make the most of your space whatever the season.

Built to Withstand Busy Service

Hospitality settings are tough on interiors. That’s why every Barlow Blinds product is designed for durability, using commercial-grade materials that can cope with everyday wear and tear. From constant use to the odd knock or spill, our blinds are built to last.

For extra peace of mind, we also include a 2-year on-site parts and labour guarantee.

Blinds That Reflect Your Brand

Your décor tells a story, and your blinds should be part of that. Whether your venue is sleek and modern or warm and traditional, we have a wide choice of colours, finishes, and styles to suit.

Looking for something unique? We also offer custom-branded fabrics to showcase your logo or colour scheme. Just give us a call to bring your vision to life.

Easy to Operate: Motorised and Smart Options

For large spaces or hard-to-reach windows, motorised blinds are the perfect solution. Controlled by remote or app, they allow staff to adjust lighting at the touch of a button. You can even set them to move automatically at certain times or in response to changing light levels, keeping your venue comfortable while saving your team time.

Work with Hospitality Experts

At Barlow Blinds, we don’t just supply products, we offer advice too. With our free, no-obligation Environmental Audit, one of our experts will visit your site, assess your needs, and recommend the best options for every part of your venue.

It’s a collaborative process designed to make sure you get the right solution for comfort, compliance, and style.
