About the blinds...
Our Sheer roller blind collection offers a contemporary alternative to net curtains. They are a great way to reduce the glare from the sun & create a stylish look which offers added privacy whilst filtering light through. This makes the blinds ideally suited to living rooms, kitchens and offices.
The sheer fabric is similar to a voile style of fabric, allowing you to see through both sides of the window, whilst diffusing light in. This fabric is ideal if your room gets a lot of sun, and if privacy during the day is not a concern. The ideal solution for dressing behind curtains.
PLEASE NOTE - this fabric is NOT voile. The sheer fabric we use is similar but more rigid, making it suitable to be made into a roller blind.
What do you get?
We sell complete blinds only & will send you the full kit. This includes:
- Brackets & bracket covers (suitable for either top or face fixing)
- Chain & chain mechanism
- Roller blind tube
- Bottom weight / exposed aluminium bottom bar, if you choose
- Child safety clip
- Screws
How are they operated?
These blinds are supplied with a sidewinder mechanism for complete control, and a safety clip to attach to your wall or window frame, which then tensions the chain.
The chain can be fitted on either the left or right side of the blind. When you receive the blind & you would then like to change the roller side over, this is possible to do:
Require a longer length chain?
We can provide a longer length chain no problem at all! In order to do so, we need to take an Installation Height from you to comply with child safety legislation.
An installation height is the height from the floor, to the very top of the window where the blind will be fitted. Once we have confirmation on this height, we can then work out the maximum chain length we can send to comply with this legislation, ensuring that the chain will reach 150cm away from the floor.
You can include this measurement in your special instructions at the checkout, alternatively, you can call us or email this information to our customer service team.
What can I customise?
If you are stuck on what to choose from our drop down menus when ordering, you can find additional information by clicking the 'Question Mark' icons next to the drop down menus. These provide photos or any additional information you may need to confirm, before placing the order. You can find them here:
Chain Colour
You can choose from a couple of different options: White plastic, Black plastic, or Nickel.
Bottom Finish
You can choose from a couple of different options: Plain bottom finish (complete with a bottom weight), or an exposed aluminium bottom bar in black, silver or white.
All of our roller blinds are now made with a sewn bottom finish.
Roll Direction
Please see description of each below:
- Standard roll - The fabric will fall off of the back of the tube closest to the window. We make all our roller blinds this way as standard, unless instructed otherwise.
- Reverse roll - The fabric will fall off of the front of the tube into the room. This is ideal if you require extra clearance for the fabric, with obstructions such as window or door handles.
If you would like the blind with a Reverse Roll, all you need to do is include this in the special instructions at checkout.
Sizing Information
For our plain roller blinds, we add 40cm onto the drop, which ensures that the roller tube isn't exposed when the blind is at its fullest drop. For all printed & patterned blinds, we add 30cm onto the drop.
When fitting your blind outside the window recess, we recommend overlapping the window by at least 10cm on the width & drop. You can then specify whether you want us to use these measurements as the Blind Size or the Fabric Size. Please see our guide on how to measure for this here.
Recess Size
If you want to fit your blind within the window recess, you will need to order the blind as a 'Recess Size'. Please see our guide on how to measure for this here.
Make sure you do not make any reductions from these sizes yourself, because for a recess we will take a 0.5cm reduction from the width you provide, to ensure the blind fits into the space. The fabric width will be approximately 3.5cm shorter than the bracket to bracket width.
Blind Size
If you choose Blind Size, we will use your measurements as the size of the blind including the brackets and mechanism. We will not make any reductions to this. The fabric width will be approximately 3.5cm shorter than the bracket to bracket width.
Fabric Size
If you choose Fabric Size, we will use your measurements as the size of the fabric part of the blind only. This means that the size of the brackets will be 3.5cm wider overall, in addition to the fabric size.
Bracket Sizes
- For blinds up to a 2 metre width and drop, we will make these on a 32mm roller tube.
- For blinds at a larger scale (2 metres +), to ensure the weight of the fabric isn't too much, we make these blinds on a 40mm roller tube.
Roller Blind Systems
We do have an option for a 'Luxury Cassette' system. If this is of interest, please email us your sizes & which blind you would like, we can then get a quotation put together for you.
Standard Roller System
The standard roller system allows the fabric roll, brackets and blind mechanism to be seen. It's the most common system used and the one you've probably seen around the most. The brackets are suitable for both top & face fixing.
Luxury Roller System
If you choose our luxury roller system, we will supply you with a smart 7cm tall aluminium cassette, fitted with an insert of the same fabric used to make your blind. The brackets supplied can either be top or face fixed.
The cassette hides the roll of fabric, the brackets & mechanism, whilst also removing the gap you would usually see between the ceiling & the fabric roll.
