Blockout Roller Blinds
Frequently asked questions
Which rooms are roller blinds best for?
More like, what rooms are they not great in? And the answer is none, they’re excellent for all rooms of the home.
What type of roller blind should I choose?
Think about how much light and privacy the room needs.
Choose a blockout roller blind for rooms you want darkness in.
Choose a light filter blind for very sunny windows in street-facing rooms where you want privacy as they are between translucent and opaque.
Sunscreen roller blinds are good for sunny rooms where privacy is not a concern; they are see through to maintain your view but work to reduce glare from the sun.
Dual roller blinds let you have the best of both on one window; choose a combo of blockout plus either light filter or sunscreen.
Our linked roller blinds can be any of the single blind options; choose these for when you have many blinds in a row and want to operate them all at once.

How do I clean roller blinds?
Spot clean away any marks with as soon as you notice them; a cloth and a bit of warm water and mild detergent will do the trick. Don’t scrub or scour or use harsh chemicals, just dab gently. We also recommend you dust or wipe them as part of your regular cleaning to stop any build up.
Do you have a measuring and installation service?
We think you’re clever enough to manage that. We have step by step guides to help too. Besides, our DIY measure and installation model is part of what makes our products so affordable.
Should I choose a front roll or back roll?
A front roll means the material rolls off the front of the blind leaving a space behind it. We recommend a front roll if you’re choosing an inside fit so the blind won’t touch the glass. A back roll comes off the back of the roll meaning it is much closer to whatever is behind it. This is better for outside fits so there isn’t a big gap between the blind and window frame.
Is it best to fit blinds inside or outside the window frame?
If there’s enough depth within the window recess to fit the blind (see ourmeasuring guide) then an inside fit is a clean and tidy solution; just be aware on very small windows this means the blind will obstruct some of the view. An outside fit (when combined with back rolling operation) is better for not letting in light or cold air as it creates a better seal over the entire window and frame.
