Roller Blinds

Our made to measure roller blinds come in white, grey and black, alongside other colours, plain fabrics, textures and patterns to suit any room in your home. In our Choices collection, you can pair our soft fabrics with a blackout lining for darker bedrooms, or choose our light filtering linings to help you keep glare to a minimum. If you want natural daylight with added privacy during the day, take a look at our voile roller blinds, magic screen fabrics and day and night blinds. For humid spaces like bathrooms and busy kitchens, our waterproof roller blinds are made from easy to clean fabric, withstanding the test of time.

Alternatively, our essentials range includes value roller blinds to buy in a great choice of colours, while our thermal roller blinds have a lining that reflects heat back into the room to help keep your home warm. For drill free fitting, choose our clip in Perfect Fit range for uPVC windows, or our Twist2Go roller blinds that lock securely between the window recess. We also make roller blinds to fit bay windows, and you can add our SureSize Measuring Guarantee for complete peace of mind. Not sure which fabric to pick?

What are roller blinds?

Roller blinds are made from fabric that rolls around an aluminium tube at the top of the window. Depending on the design, you can operate them with a pull cord, an electric motor or a discreet tab at the bottom. Choose from plain, patterned and textured fabrics, with different linings for the light control and privacy you need.

How to measure for roller blinds

Measuring for a made to measure roller blind is straightforward. Decide whether you want the blind to sit inside the window recess or hang outside on the wall above it. For a recess fit, measure the exact width and drop in three places using a metal tape measure and give us the smallest measurements - we will make the necessary deductions so the headrail fits neatly without rubbing. For an exact fit outside the recess, measure the area you want covered and add at least 70mm to the top and 50mm to each side to minimise light bleed. Check our full measuring guide for step by steps.

How do you clean roller blinds?

Keeping your roller blinds looking fresh is simple, just make sure you keep them rolled down for at least an hour a day to stop any damp air from gathering in the roll of fabric, and keep them free of dust with a simple duster.

How to install roller blinds

Roller blinds can be installed either inside the window recess or on the wall outside the recess. For traditional roller blinds, start by fitting the mounting brackets, using standard masonry screws and wall plugs, then simply slot the blind into the brackets. The mounting brackets are universal and can be top-fixed to the lintel of the recess, side-fixed onto the inside walls of the recess, or face-fixed onto either the window frame or a facing wall. Alternatively, no drill roller blinds fit seamlessly between your window recess, with a design that twists the head rail into place. View our full step-by-step guide on installing roller blinds on the easy fitting section on any of our products.

What are roller blinds made from?

Roller blinds are usually made from high-grade polyester, but are also available in a variety of fabrics to suit every need. If you’re looking for a roller blind for a kitchen or bathroom, our Splash Blackout roller blinds combine waterproof PVC fabrics with a gorgeous array of plain or patterned finishes. Alternatively, for bringing a textured touch to your bedroom or living room window, explore our linen roller blinds and velvet roller blinds.

What are the best rooms for roller blinds?

Roller blinds are suitable for almost any window in your home with their sleek, slimline design, their simple and hard-wearing construction and the huge array of fabric and shading types available. They're a practical, straightforward and stylish choice that's user-friendly and easy to clean and maintain.

Are roller blinds blackout?

Yes, roller blinds with a blackout lining block light from passing through the fabric itself, making them ideal for bedrooms and nurseries. Because traditional roller blinds leave a tiny gap at the edges where the fabric meets the brackets, a small halo of light can still enter around the sides. If you want total darkness, choose our Click2Shade complete blackout roller blinds, which use integrated side channels to seal the edges and eliminate light bleed, or explore our double roller blinds for layered day and night control.

What are cassette roller blinds?

A cassette will fully enclose the roll of fabric at the top of the blind, not only hiding it from view but also adding some additional visual flair to your roller blind, with matching fabric decorating the front of the cassette for a stylish coordinated look. It has practical benefits too, with versatile fittings and protection of the roller fabric from dust and general wear and tear.

Different types of roller blinds

  • Traditional Roller Blinds - A traditional Roller Blind is comprised of a single sheet of fabric that’s easy to operate and incredibly versatile.
  • Double Roller Blinds - Double Roller Blinds feature two blinds – one blackout and one voile - on a singular fitting for improved light control and privacy at your window.
  • Enjoy Roller Blinds - Enjoy Roller Blinds, also known as Zebra Blinds, feature alternating strips of opaque and sheer fabric that can be lined up in different ways to control the light.
  • Illusion Roller Blinds - Illusion Roller Blinds have two layers of sheer fabric that are joined together by opaque horizontal fabric slats, which ‘tilt’ as you roll the blind, allowing you to use it as a voile during the day or close it off for night-time privacy.

Can I layer roller blinds with curtains?

Roller blinds are sleek and slimline and fit neatly inside a recess, so they’re ideal for fitting behind curtains to maximise your shading and privacy, not to mention style. Whether you’re looking to contrast a plain with a patterned curtain or you’re choosing a minimalist style, they’re capable of creating a beautiful focal point in bay windows, tall windows and more.

Are roller blinds better than Roman or Venetian blinds?

Roller blinds are typically the most budget friendly, low maintenance, and versatile window covering. Unlike fabric Roman blinds, which stack into soft folds and are less suited to damp spaces, waterproof PVC roller blinds thrive in steamy bathrooms and kitchens. Compared to Venetian blinds, roller blinds have a single smooth surface with no slats to dust, giving your windows a cleaner, more minimalist look.
