Blinds & Shutters - Issue 3/2023
Summer seems to have arrived and I imagine it’s peak season for companies that are involved in the awnings and solar shading markets. There seems to a lot of choices out there and it will be interesting to see how the home improvement market copes with the increasing of interest rates over the last few months. Lots of fixed mortgage rates are coming to an end, from historically low levels, so it way create another shock to consumers. So fingers crossed that it’s not as bad as some economists would have us believe and hopefully the rest of the summer will be long and hot!

for success<br />
Yewdale runs a<br />
number of courses<br />
to help its<br />
installers<br />
As a manufacturer of commercial blinds,<br />
Yewdale want to help their customers<br />
confidently install cassette blinds quickly, so<br />
Yewdale regularly provide training courses for blind<br />
installers.<br />
You will see their expert install an overhead<br />
cassette blind, which is the perfect blind for a<br />
skylight. Installing an overhead blind is challenging<br />
due to the positioning of the window. The<br />
installation demonstration will break down each<br />
stage of the process and provide tips to simplify<br />
the entire process and help you reduce the time it<br />
takes to complete the job.<br />
You will also learn how to install cassette blinds<br />
with side channels following their new goalpost<br />
installation technique. Yewdale have redesigned the<br />
end plates to enable the side channels to be<br />
screwed into the headbox, creating a frame similar<br />
to a football goal. This frame can then be lifted and<br />
fitted via the side channels.<br />
If you're a new blind installer or would like to<br />
refine your skills, Yewdale encourage you to join<br />
their cassette blinds training course and learn how<br />
to install cassette blinds. You can book multiple<br />
spots on the course for additional installers in your<br />
team.<br />
During the course, you will learn to:<br />
• Correctly make deductions<br />
• Tension overhead blinds<br />
• Set the limits for their electric motor<br />
• Choose the best cassette system based<br />
on your requirements<br />
• Install side channel cassettes using the<br />
goalpost technique<br />
The cassette blind training courses take place at<br />
Yewdale's London showroom which is situated in<br />
the heart of Clerkenwell. Once you complete the<br />
course, you will receive a Yewdale certificate and a<br />
bag full of Yewdale goodies to take home.<br />
