Chain Options

With this blind you can choose the colour of the chain you would like. The metallic options give the blind an expensive look, however other options may be available.

CLOSE

Control Options

You can decide whether you would like to have the control mechanism on the left or the right side of the blind. If it is easier for you to reach one side of the blind rather than the other, then this makes adjusting the blind more convenient.

Control Options

You can decide whether you would like to have the control mechanism on the left or the right side of the blind. If it is easier for you to reach one side of the blind rather than the other, then this makes adjusting the blind more convenient. On some roman blinds you can also choose between cordlock or sidewinder control type.

Cordlock has a nylon cord that you draw to raise and then you can lock it into place when it is in the required position. This cord can then be released to lower. A child safety cleat is supplied to neatly wind spare cord out of the way when it is revealed.

Sidewinder is a continuous chain mechanism with a low gearing, so it is more suitable for raising and lowering heavy or wide blinds. It is generally regarded as a better, premium headrail type. We would recommend this choice if your blind is over 120cm wide or if the blind is going to be regularly raised and lowered.

Fabric Roll

This option determines the way in which the fabric rolls. Standard roll means that the fabric sits behind the roller tube. Alternatively, reverse roll sits in front of the roller tube. This option is better when your window has handles that might prevent the roller blind from closing.

CLOSE

Fixing Options

Face fixing brackets are secured behind the blind headrail. Top fix brackets on the other hand are secured above the blind headrail.

CLOSE

Headrail Options

The Standard headrail allows cords to run down the back of the blind all coming across to one side and threaded through a cord lock system.

The Deluxe sidewinder has cords running behind the blind like the standard, however they wind up into cartridges inside the track. Plus the deluxe has a higher ratio gear so it is easier to open and close the blind, especially important for wider blinds.

CLOSE

Headrail Options

With our day and night blinds you can choose from our classic headrail or the EVO headrail system.

CLOSE

Lift Side

You can choose whether the blind will lift open from the left or right side. Your choice will depend on whether you want easy of access to the blind cord, or if you want to make it less accessible to a child.

Lining Options

Standard - This lightweight polyester and cotton blend is predominantly used to line lightweight cotton and polycotton. It gives structure and provides some protection from sun damage and provides a degree of privacy to sheer fabrics.

Premium - This medium weight polycotton-sateen lining has a soft-sheen twill finish and is more crease-resistant. It gives good structure without adding too much weight; and provides better protection from sun damage.

Blackout Thermal - This is a thicker, heavier, tightly woven lining. The reverse is coated with a thin layer of foam that fills the fabric weave, preventing light penetration. Blackout Thermal lining's primary function is to block light, but it also offers effective thermal/insulating properties to help to keep rooms either warm or cool. It is usually cream or white and is ideal for bedrooms.

Stack Options

Here you can choose whether the blind slats will open to the left, to the right, split stack or centre stack. When the the blind is open the blind will stack as follows depending on option selected:

Usually you would choose an option to match your window or door frame. For instance if you install this blind in front of a sliding door you would ensure it opens the same way as the door.

CLOSE

Stain Wood Ends

With a made to measure wood venetian blind - the slats will be trimmed to your custom measurements. This will expose the base wood colour on both sides of the blind. When your blind is fitted within a window recess, the outer edges of the slats are not visible and therefore this does not affect the finished look.

Should you be fitting this blind outside of the window recess - you may wish to pick the ‘Stain Wood Ends’ option for a small additional cost. This will ensure that the exposed ends of the slats are stained the same colour as the rest of the slats.

CLOSE

Tape Colour

With tape colour there are a number of colour options to choose from. You could match your tape colour to the slat colour so they compliment each other, or alternatively go for a nice contrast.

CLOSE

Control Type

You can choose the side of the head-rail that your blinds tilt and raise controls are situated. These are fully configurable, with the option to have tilt and raise on the same or opposite sides.

CLOSE

Tilt Side

You can choose whether the blind tilting wand will be positioned on the left or right side. Your choice will depend on whether you want easy of access to the tilt wand, or if you want to make it less accessible to a child.

Pelmet Upgrade

The traditional roller blind is given a chic finish by the roller blind pelmet. The mechanism is improved, the pelmet is manufactured from the same fabric as the roller blind; and most importantly the mechanism is concealed (thanks to the addition of the Pelmet option). This is an upgrade that we heartily endorse and a wise purchase you'll be happy you made.

Both "recess" and "actual size" blinds can be made with a pelmet. The pelmet is only covered in fabric on the front, thus "actual size" blinds (outside of the recess) will have white plastic covers at the ends. The recess blind requires an allowance for the return sides of the pelmet (this will be taken care of during the manufacturing process).

CLOSE

Pelmet Upgrade

The Roman Blind Pelmet gives the standard roman blind a fashionable finish. An alternative to our current deluxe headrail is a side-winding headrail with a pelmet that conceals the mechanism. The roman blind's fabric is also used to make the pelmet. We strongly recommend the Roman Blinds Pelmet as an upgrade and as a wise addition that you will not regret making.

Both "recess" and "actual size" blinds can be made with a pelmet. The pelmet is only covered in fabric on the front, thus "actual size" blinds (outside of the recess) will have white plastic covers at the ends. The recess blind requires an allowance for the return sides of the pelmet (this will be taken care of during the manufacturing process).
