Style Blinds & Interiors Ltd

What Style Blinds & Interiors Ltd does

Style Blinds & Interiors Ltd, trading as SBI Contracts, is a privately-held, family-owned Irish commercial fit-out product manufacturer and installer founded in 1993 (originally as Interior Choices in Derry) and now headquartered in Buncrana, Co. Donegal with a second office in Derry, Northern Ireland. The company manufactures and installs commercial window blinds, curtains, cubicle tracking and acoustic solutions for the Educational, Healthcare, Hospitality and Residential sectors across Ireland and the UK, operating with a small core team of eight employees that is supplemented by subcontracted installation labour for large-scale projects. Its technical differentiator is a pair of proprietary, registered-trademark systems — KuroLok (zipped-edge blackout roller blind) and KuroLok RL (roof-light blind with constant-tension spring technology) — which are manufactured in-house at an automated facility built in 2000 and upgraded in 2004, positioning the company as a faster-lead-time local alternative to imported products. Specialized capabilities include anti-microbial blind and curtain fabrics (since 2010) for healthcare infection control and motorised blinds, roof blinds and curtain tracking (since 2012) with hardwired, radio, digital and IP-control options.

SBI generates revenue primarily through project-based commercial contracts covering supply and installation for large fit-outs (e.g., the Microsoft Ireland campus, Kevin Street Garda Station, the Termini Building, Maynooth Education Campus, Staycity serviced apartments and Maldron/Radisson Blu hotels), with a secondary retail stream through an e-commerce shop selling individual blind components such as boxes, clutches, chains and bottom bars at unit prices. Distribution is delivered through direct sales via [email protected] and direct installation crews, supported by an embedded specification network with Irish main contractors (John Paul Construction, Felix O'Hare, OHMG, ABM, Structuretone, JJR) and institutional clients (OPW, HSE, LDA, Garda). Pricing is quote-based for commercial projects and unit-based for the component shop.

Broad incumbents

• Hunter Douglas: Global window-covering major with extensive commercial blind, motorised shading and façade-sun-control offerings; overlaps with SBI on contract roller blinds and motorised systems but operates at vastly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Silent Gliss: Swiss premium manufacturer of architectural blind, curtain and tracks systems with strong specification presence in healthcare, education and high-end commercial projects — competes with SBI in the same verticals but at a higher price/quality tier and global scale.
• Hillarys: UK's largest window-blinds retailer and manufacturer with broad made-to-measure products and a growing commercial/Hospitality arm — adjacent rather than direct competition given heavy consumer focus, but relevant as the dominant UK brand in the same category.
• Coulisse: Dutch manufacturer of window coverings (roller, roman, venetian, motorised) supplying the B2B trade and contract channels across Europe — comparable product mix and distribution model to SBI's blind manufacturing and e-commerce component sales.
• Warema: German sun-shading systems manufacturer serving commercial and institutional buildings with external/internal blinds and motorised controls — comparable product category and vertical exposure to SBI's KuroLok rooflight and motorised roller offerings.

Others

• Rench UK (commercial interior fit-out): Commercial interior fit-out contractor active in UK and Ireland across offices, hospitality, healthcare and education — a buyer/competitor ecosystem participant that bundles blinds, curtains, acoustics and joinery in similar packages to SBI Contracts.

Regional players

• Solent Blinds / Morley Glass & Glazing: UK-based manufacturer primarily of integrated blinds-in-glass units and commercial glazing products — adjacent competitor for healthcare and office fit-outs where SBI's cubicle tracking and contract blinds compete alongside glass-and-blind packages.

Direct peers

• Appeal Blinds / Louvolite UK: Manufacturer and supplier of made-to-measure window blinds distributed across the UK and Ireland via trade and commercial channels, competing head-to-head on manual and motorised roller blind systems.
• Decora Blind Systems: Irish/UK commercial blind manufacturer offering made-to-measure blinds, curtains and tracks with installation services — direct overlap with SBI's contract blinds, curtains, and cubicle-tracking product set across similar verticals.
• Eclipse Blinds Ltd: UK and Ireland-based commercial blind manufacturer and installer serving office, education, and healthcare fit-out projects with a comparable product portfolio of manual and motorised roller, screen and blackout blinds.
