Roller Blinds
The Roller Blind, traditionally known as the Holland Blind, is a clean and stylish option suitable for both small & large window apertures.
Low maintenance and available in a wide variety of colours, fabrics and textures to suit any home, school or business. We can also custom print your company branding onto the fabric. Come into our showroom to view our range of European, American & Australian fabric brands.
Roller Blinds can be fitted inside the window (reveal fit) and outside the window (face fit). They can also be installed in either a back roll or front roll configuration. The back roll moves the fabric closer to the glass, but the roll of fabric can be seen, which we feel if it’s a white back blockout textured fabric, its best to choose a front roll. The front roll acts as its own pelmet, hiding the tube and if used in a double roller also hides the blind behind it.
Blockout Roller Blinds can be paired with Sheer Curtains or Sunscreen fabrics to achieve privacy day and night, see Double Roller.
Fabrics
Privacy and insulation can be increased or reduced depending on the open weave of the fabric which ranges from 3% - 10% open, or the coverage of perforations per square metre
Due to the fabrics weave acting as a two-way mirror; you are able to see outside whilst still enjoying your privacy. From the outside during daylight hours the screen fabric makes your window mirrored giving you complete privacy. At night, however, with the lights on inside, from outside you can see inside, so we always recommend adding an additional block out on street facing rooms and bedrooms. See double roller for more details.

Translucent or semi-sheer fabrics fit nicely between the sunscreen and block-out fabrics. These fabrics give you more privacy than a sunscreen as you can neither see out of them or into the window from outside. Translucent fabrics allow light to glow through , which means you can maintain privacy without plunging the room into darkness - a great option for living areas where total blockout is not required.
We stock a wide range of blockout fabrics, the vast majority of textured fabrics come with a white rubber backing, whereas plain fabrics are often the same colour front and back. To make a blockout roller cut out as much light as possible we recommend either installing them on the face of the architrave as a back roll configuration or manufactured as a Cassette Roller Blind which houses the fabric within a neat head box at the top of the window opening and side channels down both sides, to block any edge light spill, ideal for theatre rooms and bedrooms.

Rollers
We recommend the Double Roller Blind to get the best out of the roller blind. Matching complementary or contrasting fabrics to give you more options to tackle privacy, light and heat as well as a truly custom and stylish finish.
Rollers can be fitted either inside the architrave (reveal fit) or onto the front of the architrave (face fit). The reveal fit blind sits nicely inside the window frame giving a clean finish to the window, leaving a 25mm gap down both the right and left side of the blind, whereas a back rolled face fit blind gives a much better coverage of the window if you are trying to block out light.
As with all of our product range, the roller blind comes with a host of custom componentry including brackets, pull cords, chain guards and bottom rail shapes, colour and materials, hand finished scallops or straight sewn hems.
If heat is your biggest factor to address, then we would advise to look for foil backed rollers, these are plain and textured fabrics with a metal lined backing. These fabrics come in a semi transparent metalised screen and blockout which reflects the heat much better than a white back roller, however, if reducing heat into the home is your main goal then we recommend an exterior product to stop the sun hitting the glass.
If you are unable to find a roller blind fabric that best suits your home, then bonded rollers may be the answer. Choose for our extensive range of fabrics which are then pressed & glued onto a roller blind backing with a straight sewn finish. This works particularly well if you have curtains and roller blinds in the same room.
