Our story
It started small.
It stayed personal.
In 1991, Harold McCloy began making and selling blinds in Ballymena. What started as a small family venture developed into a specialist local manufacturing business serving homes across Northern Ireland.
As demand grew, production moved to Cullybackey, where the team specialised in Vertical, Venetian and Roller blinds. Village Blinds later outgrew that site and moved to Pennybridge in Ballymena in 2000 — the base from which the business has continued to develop its products, manufacturing and service.
Production grows
A site in Cullybackey is used to specialise in the production of Vertical, Venetian and Roller blinds.
Moving to Pennybridge
Having outgrown Cullybackey, the business moves to Pennybridge Industrial Estate in Ballymena.
Still made closer to home
Made-to-measure blinds and plantation shutters are created by our local team and fitted in homes across Northern Ireland.

From home appointment to fitting
Measured, made and fitted by one local team.
You do not need to coordinate separate suppliers or arrive knowing exactly what to choose. We help narrow the options in your home, measure the windows, make the agreed products and professionally fit the finished result.
Start with your room.
We talk about privacy, light, style, operation and how you actually use the space before narrowing suitable options.
Measure it properly.
Your design consultant measures the relevant windows and confirms the specification before your order goes into production.
Made for your windows.
Our production team creates your blinds or shutters to the agreed sizes, materials, colours and operating details.
Finish the job properly.
Our fitting team installs the finished products, checks their operation and leaves you with a completed window rather than another task.
Quality that continues after fitting
Made to last. Backed to match.
Good window coverings need more than a good first impression. We focus on appropriate materials, accurate manufacturing and professional installation — and our Five Year Guarantee Package gives additional reassurance after the fitting is complete.
