Frequently asked questions

Which blind is best for a bedroom?

A blockout roller blind gives dependable room darkening and full privacy. If you would rather filter the light, a zebra blind lets you choose between light and privacy with one movement.

What is the difference between a zebra blind and a roller blind?

A roller blind is one piece of fabric. A zebra blind has two layers of alternating sheer and solid bands: line the sheer bands up to let light in and see out, or close them for privacy.

Which blind suits a kitchen or bathroom?

Aluminium venetian blinds are wipe-clean and made for kitchens, bathrooms and offices. For the wood look near water, the Antique Wood range has water-resistant slats.

What is the difference between Wood, Antique Wood and Eco Wood?

All three are 50mm venetian slats. Wood is natural wood, in nine colours. Antique Wood has water-resistant slats in a wood-look finish, in eight colours. Eco Wood has wood-look slats in 25 colours.

Are the blinds made to measure?

Yes. Every blind is made to your window measurements, recess-fix or face-fix. Each blind's page has the measuring guide and shows the price for your size as you type it in.

Rollers, zebras and venetians

A roller blind is one flat piece of fabric that rolls up: blockout for a dark room, or a Solar Weave sunscreen that keeps the view.

A zebra blind has two layers of sheer and solid bands that slide past each other, so one blind lets light in or keeps it out.

A venetian blind has slats you tilt: slim aluminium ones that wipe clean, or 50mm wooden ones in real wood, Antique Wood or Eco Wood.

Every blind is made to your window

Every blind is made to your window measurements, fitted inside the window recess (recess-fix) or on the wall above it (face-fix). Each blind's page has the measuring guide and shows the price for your size as you type it in.
