What are Roller blinds?

Roller blinds are a type of window shade that can be raised or lowered as needed. They are typically made from fabric or vinyl material, and they roll up onto a tube or bar when not in use.

Roller blinds are a popular choice for both residential and commercial settings because they offer privacy and light control without blocking out all of the natural light.

There are several different types of roller blinds to choose from, including blackout roller blinds, thermal roller blinds and solar roller blinds.

  • Blackout roller blinds are designed to block out all light, making them ideal for bedrooms or home theatres.
  • Thermal roller blinds help to insulate your home by trapping heat during the winter and reflecting heat away in the summer.
  • Solar roller blinds are designed to reduce glare and UV rays, making them a great choice for kitchens or bedrooms.

In addition to the standard chain hand operation, we can also install motorised roller blinds that are controlled by remote.

Remote-control roller blinds, powered by an integral battery-powered motor that needs only sparse charging via a supplied charger, can be fitted in windows out of the reach of manual control such as high landings or stairways.

If you’re the type of person who likes controlling everything with voice commands via Alexa or Google Home, we can connect your blinds to those systems for both automated and manual operation. Motorisation starts at an additional cost of £140 for one blind.

How long do our blinds take to install?

Roller blinds are easy to install and can be done in just a few minutes. If you buy from us, we aim to have your blinds fitted within four weeks of your purchase.

We can fit your perfect roller blinds into bay windows, standard windows and over standard or bi-fold patio doors. They can even go behind wooden shutters (space permitting) to offer privacy options or to add a more stylised look to your room.

Our roller blinds can be customised with a range of trims and there is even the option to have the bottom of your roller blind shaped with a range of scalloped bottoms.

If you want to improve the look of a standard roller in your window, you can also choose to have your blind reverse rolled. This means the fabric of your roller comes over the front of the tube at the top and hides the tube and rolled fabric from view.

How can I order my roller blinds?

You can order your roller blinds online or over the phone. We also offer a free measure and quote service so you can get an accurate price for your roller blinds.

Create a more polished look for your roller blinds by choosing a Senses cassette, which is a boxed headrail. The Senses cassette comes with the option to have either one roller or multiple rollers within the headrail. With a Senses headrail, you can easily customize various aspects to perfectly match your needs and wants, such as the cassette colour, end caps, and even a Soft-Raise control.
