Homes and windows
Galway's city centre around Eyre Square, Quay Street and the Latin Quarter has old stone buildings, many with apartments above the ground floor. The Claddagh and Salthill have terraced houses and seafront apartments facing Galway Bay, where wind and salt spray reach the windows. Older suburbs such as Newcastle, Shantalla and Bohermore are made up of mid-twentieth-century terraces and semi-detached houses. Knocknacarra, Renmore and Oranmore have larger estates from the 1990s and 2000s, often with wide living-room windows and patio doors. There are also many student rentals near the university, with mixed window sizes.
Our advice
In a seafront home in Salthill, windows face strong light off the bay and wet, salty winds. Choose aluminium or wood-look aluminium there: both are moisture-proof and don't rust. With 50 mm slats tilted upwards, you cut glare without losing the sea view. In a 1990s estate house in Knocknacarra, use wood or bamboo in the living room for warmth, and keep aluminium or faux wood for the kitchen and bathroom, where condensation builds up in winter.
Ordering and delivery
Each blind takes 10–18 working days to produce, then around 6–9 working days in transit to Galway. Delivery to Ireland costs €25. Home measuring isn't available outside the Netherlands, so you measure yourself with our guide at /meten, backed by free measuring insurance. Up to 10 colour samples cost €1 each, with free shipping, and the total is refunded as a discount code. Pay by iDEAL, Bancontact or bank transfer.

Frequently asked questions
What's the best venetian blind for a Salthill flat facing the sea?
Aluminium or wood-look aluminium works best. Both are moisture-proof, cope with salty air and are easy to wipe down. A 50 mm slat lets you angle out the glare from the bay while keeping the view. If you like timber, keep real wood for rooms on the sheltered side.
Can I fit a blind in a student rental in Galway?
Usually yes, but ask your landlord first, since fitting needs a few screws in the frame or reveal. An inside-recess fit with 25 mm aluminium is light, affordable and hardly visible. If you move later, you can take it along as long as the new window is roughly the same size.
Do you measure windows in Galway?
No, we don't do home visits in Ireland. You measure yourself using our online guide, which explains inside-recess and on-frame fitting step by step. Our free measuring insurance covers mistakes, so if a blind doesn't fit because of a measuring error, we remake it once at no cost.
