Motorized blinds, wooden blinds and curtains in Thon Buri

Thon Buri is an old quarter that served as the royal capital from 1767 to 1782, and Wongwian Yai with the King Taksin Monument is a landmark everyone on this side of the river knows. Along the Chao Phraya are old communities such as Kudi Chin and Wat Kanlayanamit. Back from the river, around Talat Phlu and Thoet Thai Road, shophouses and soi houses have stood shoulder to shoulder for generations. Along the BTS Silom Line at Pho Nimit and Talat Phlu stations, and along Ratchadaphisek Road, condos have slotted in among the older buildings. So curtain work here usually starts with how old the building is, before anyone talks about fabric.

What comes up most often in Thon Buri

Written from how people actually live here, not text that would fit anywhere.

Shophouses around Talat Phlu and Thoet Thai: windows with security grilles

A lot of older shophouses have steel grilles on the upstairs windows — some fixed outside, some inside against the frame — and that changes how a blind goes in. If the grille sits inside the reveal, a roller or blind meant to mount inside the frame may not fit, and the fixing has to move up onto the wall above instead. Shophouses have one more trait: light only comes in at the front and the back, so the middle of the building is already dark, and the rooms that do have windows should not be made more opaque than necessary. None of this comes across fully in a photo, which is why we always measure on site first.

Timber houses and riverside communities around Kudi Chin

Many older homes in the riverside communities are still timber, or half brick and half timber, and they need checking differently from a concrete building. First, if the wooden casements open inward, a blind inside the frame gets hit every time the window opens, so it usually has to mount above the frame, clear of the swing. Second, some timber walls and frames are still perfectly sound while others have taken river damp for so long that they can't hold a fixing — the fitter assesses each point on the day of the measure. As for what to choose, wooden blinds sit naturally with the existing timber and handle humidity well.

Condos near Pho Nimit and Talat Phlu BTS: living in or renting out changes the choice

Units near the stations include both owner-occupiers and owners who furnish to rent out, and the two should choose differently. If you live there, choose purely by use — blackout in the bedroom, something that still passes light in the living room. If you rent it out, go for what is easy to maintain and needs no long explanation: a flat roller panel wipes clean. If the developer's curtains are still up, we take them down at 200 THB per unit. Also worth knowing before you choose: the fabric itself is not under warranty; what is covered is the motor for 6 years, installation for 1 year and wooden blind slats for 1 year.

Common questions

What customers in Thon Buri ask

There is a grille on the inside of the window — can a blind still go in?

That has to be seen on site. If the grille sits inside the frame, the fixing usually moves up to the wall above or to the ceiling instead — the fitter assesses it on the day of the measure.

Old timber house — does anything need knocking out for motorized blinds?

Nothing needs demolishing. You do need a socket near the headrail — if there isn't one, an electrician has to add it first, since we don't do wiring — or you choose a rechargeable battery motor: about two hours to charge, four to six months per charge.

The ground floor is a shop open on weekdays — can you fit at the weekend?

Yes, weekends are at no extra charge. Fitting after 17:30 does cost extra, and you need to be there during installation, since the fitter shows you how everything works before leaving.

What does a measure in Thon Buri cost?

500-1,000 THB at the metro Bangkok rate, credited back in full when you order. Allow about 2-3 hours, since we bring fabric samples for you to choose from.
