For more than four decades, Grants Blinds has been the trusted partner of architects, interior designers, and design professionals. Our structured learning sessions carry that same depth of expertise, built entirely around the demands of your practice.
We offer in-person Lunch and Learn sessions and formal RIBA-accredited CPD presentations for architects, with remote delivery available for practices further afield. For significant projects, our team is available to travel and present on location, bringing a level of dedicated attention that reflects the scale of your work.

Presentations can take different forms. From seminars to workshops.
Our training seminars bring architects, designers, and builders together for general or project-specific training, aligning every stakeholder around shading as a core design consideration, not an afterthought.
From solar gain, heat and glare control to privacy and aesthetics, the right window treatment does far more than cover glass. We'll show you exactly how much more and how to specify it right from day one.
Book a SessionWith roots in traditional conservatories, orangeries, and heritage glass buildings, Grants brings four decades of problem-solving to the shapes other manufacturers won't touch. Curved runs, raked sills, angled mullions, and bay returns — we show designers the full vocabulary of solutions available when standard systems fall short.
Grants pioneered concealed blind systems and in 2016 spun out Blindspace as a separate company dedicated to advancing the technology. From traditional garden rooms to contemporary new builds, Grants are the experts in concealed blinds — with four decades of bespoke installations proving that the best shading solution is one you never see.
Overhead glazing, pitched lanterns, triangular gables, circular windows — each geometry brings its own thermal, glare, and mechanical challenges. Training sessions walk through every typology with proven solutions, including the shaped and oversized openings that sit outside the range of most off-the-shelf systems.
Any window can be prepared now for shading products installed later. Using Blindspace pockets at construction stage, architects can design in the option of sheer blinds in living spaces, room darkening in bedrooms or media rooms, and privacy where it's needed — all invisibly, all reversible, all decided when the client is ready.
Every Grants presentation is designed to deliver practical, applicable knowledge. By the end of the session, your team will specify window treatments with more confidence across every project type.
Learn how to build shading into the brief at concept stage, rather than retrofitting solutions at the end.
From traditional woven wood blinds in garden rooms to electric roller blinds, curtains, tensioned shading and blackout systems, your team will know what to ask for and when.
See how Grants has resolved complex shading challenges on residential, hospitality, and commercial projects across the UK, Europe, and the US.
Understand which shading decisions can be resolved in-house and when a project calls for dedicated specialist input — saving time, protecting design intent, and avoiding costly revisions on site.
Spot the most common errors made at specification stage and prevent them before they become site problems.
What a great lesson it was! We are looking forward to this collaboration!
The lunch and learn today was great, the team loved it, and I had many people ask me for more information post lunch! They loved learning about the products and being able to interact with some of the samples!
Our sessions are usually delivered remotely, ensuring accessibility across teams. In-person sessions are available in select circumstances, with all content structured to meet RIBA CPD requirements.
