Our range of made to measure roller blinds has been one of most popular products for some time. We think this is because we offer a great range of styles and fabrics coupled with an easy to use online blind configurator, ensuring you get exactly the roller blind you were looking for

A Blind for Many Rooms

Our range of fabrics used to make these blinds include some with special properties such as flame retardant, wipe clean, dim-out, blackout, moisture resistant and Teflon coated. Blinds with these special fabric properties can be selected using our filter navigation. Wipe Clean blinds are great for kitchen, bathroom or children's play areas. We also have a range of Blackout blinds, some of our most popular ranges which do exactly what the name suggests, they keep your room dark (and cool). Our blackout blinds are perfect for children's bedrooms, keeping them dark and cool in the summer.

Raise and lowering controls

 Choose either of these 2 controls for opening and closing the blind

1) The Spring Mechanism

  • A pre-sprung device: to close the roller blind, hold the bottom edge and lower to the required height and to open the blind, pull the bottom edge to activate the pre-coiled spring mechanism.
  • You can choose from a selection of decorative pull cords when ordering your blind.

 

2) The Sidewinder Mechanism (recommended)

  • A cog and looped chain device at the side of the blind, which opens and closes the blind when pulled. You may order your blind with a sidewinder fitted on the left or right.
  • The sidewinder mechanism is recommended as the best choice for ease of use
