Bowcliffe Hall is an events and meeting venue near Wetherby and has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment programme including the construction of a RIBA award winning extension in the shape of an aerofoil.

​

The design pays homage to Robert Blackburn who lived at Bowcliffe Hall and was the first Yorkshireman to design and build a powered aeroplane.

Whilst the full height glazing permits views across the stunning parkland there was a need to control light and glare when required.

​

Dearnleys supplied and installed Silent Gliss heavy duty motorised roller blinds with tow blind types to each glazed panel. A screen blind to reduce glare but still permit a view through and a room-darkening blind to provide a high degree of dim-out when needed.

To conceal the blinds when not in use Dearnleys supplied and installed a bespoke powder coated pelmet and even made some of the room darkening blinds with white fabric so they could double up as projection screens.

​

All blinds were remote controlled using a radio control (wireless) handset.

Dearnleys also supplied and fitted motorised room-darkening blinds to the Drivers Club restaurant in the main house.

We Installed:

Silent Gliss 4960, 4880 and 4870 motorised roller blind systems.  All blinds operated by radio control (wireless) handsets  FR screen and black-out fabrics with bespoke powder coated pelmets.
