Areas we serve

• Gulshan

  Gulshan is where this business does most of its apartment work, and the building stock explains why. The blocks around Gulshan 1 and Gulshan 2 circles are largely purpose-built apartments from the last twenty years: deep concrete reveals, aluminium sliding windows, and a lot of west-facing glass on the upper floors of the taller towers. Those two facts decide most of the specification before anyone opens a fabric book. Deep reveals are good news — an inside mount sits neatly and the blind is protected. West-facing glass above the eighth floor is the opposite problem: nothing shades it, the sun is on it from three until sunset, and a single light-filtering blind will not be enough by itself. That is where we usually end up recommending either a sunscreen blind for the day and blackout for the evening, or a double-cell honeycomb on the worst window. Many Gulshan flats also have full-height sliding doors onto a balcony. A roller blind on those has to be raised every time somebody steps out, so we fit verticals or veri shades that draw sideways instead and leave the doorway clear.

• Banani

  Banani mixes two very different jobs on the same street. Kemal Ataturk Avenue and the roads either side of it are dense with offices, showrooms and restaurants on the lower floors, with apartments above them. That means we are often in the same building twice: once for a shopfront and once for a flat, and the specification is completely different each time. For the commercial floors, the constraint is usually glazing that runs the full width of the unit with no reveal to mount into. Those get an outside mount, and often vertical blinds, because a run of twenty feet of glass is not a job for a single roller. Restaurants ask for something that survives being cleaned around every night, which usually means PVC louvres rather than fabric. The residential floors above are conventional apartments with aluminium sliders. The complication there is noise and street light from the avenue: a plain light-filtering blind does nothing about either, so bedrooms facing the road usually end up with a blackout blind mounted outside the frame with a generous overlap.

• Dhanmondi

  Dhanmondi has the oldest building stock of the areas we cover regularly, and that changes the job. Alongside the newer apartment blocks there are a great many houses and low-rise buildings from the sixties and seventies, with steel-framed or timber-framed windows, shallow reveals, and openings that are rarely square by the time you measure them at three points. Shallow reveals are the recurring issue. There is often not enough depth to mount a blind inside the frame without it fouling a handle or a security grille, so a lot of Dhanmondi windows end up as outside mounts, sized to overlap the frame. We measure for the grille as well as the glass, because a blind that cannot be lowered past a bar is worse than no blind. The lake side has its own character: rooms that face the water want the view kept, and sunscreen or a zebra blind usually wins there over anything that closes the window down. Clinics and small offices along Satmasjid Road are the other steady stream of work, and those are almost always PVC verticals for cleanability.

• Uttara

  Uttara is a planned area, and it shows in the work. The sectors are laid out on a grid, plots are a standard size, and the apartment buildings put up across them repeat the same window sizes floor after floor. A twelve-window flat in Sector 7 is often a near copy of one in Sector 11, which makes quoting quick and installation predictable. The two things that distinguish an Uttara job are exposure and height. Buildings are set apart rather than packed shoulder to shoulder, so there is less mutual shading than in older parts of the city and more windows catch direct sun for longer. Upper floors also catch more wind, which rules out a loose outdoor bamboo blind on an unprotected balcony unless it is tied at the bottom. Proximity to the airport corridor means aircraft noise on some sectors. Blinds do very little about noise — that is a glazing question, not a fabric one — and we would rather say so than sell a heavier fabric on a promise it cannot keep.

• Bashundhara R/A

  Bashundhara Residential Area is mostly new construction, and new construction means larger glass. Blocks built in the last decade run to floor-to-ceiling windows and wide living-room glazing that older parts of Dhaka simply do not have, and that changes which blinds are even possible on a given opening. Past about eight feet of width, a single roller blind stops being the right answer — the tube deflects and the fabric drags. On those windows we quote either two blinds on one bracket line, or verticals and veri shades that hang from a track and do not care how wide the run is. The calculator on each product page flags the join point as soon as you enter a width that crosses it. The other Bashundhara pattern is a lot of houses still being finished. Blinds go in last, after painting and after the AC points, and measuring before the frames are final produces a blind that does not fit. If a flat is still under work, send us photographs first and we will tell you whether it is worth measuring yet.

• Mirpur

  Mirpur covers a lot of ground and a lot of building types, from the older blocks around Mirpur 1 and 10 to the newer developments in Mirpur DOHS and Pallabi. The common thread across most of it is density: buildings close together, windows facing other windows across a narrow gap, and a real need for daytime privacy at close range. That single fact drives most of what we fit here. A sunscreen blind that works beautifully on a tenth floor in Gulshan is the wrong choice across a twelve-foot gap in Mirpur, because there is no distance for the contrast to work with. Light-filtering fabric is usually the right answer instead — it keeps the room bright and stops the flat opposite from being part of the view. Ceiling heights in the older blocks are lower, and windows are correspondingly shorter and wider. Short blinds are quick to make and quick to fit, which is why a whole flat here is often a single-visit job. Rooms above ground level on a busy road also get a lot of dust, so we steer people toward flat fabrics that wipe down rather than slats that need dusting twice a month.

Only areas we can describe honestly appear here. The list grows as real jobs accumulate, not before.
