Roller blinds (Holland blinds) are always popular as they can provide a clean, stylish & contemporary look. It is the classic simplicity of roller blinds that continues to make them a preferred choice.

They offer the convent choice of blockout, translucent (light filtering), sunscreen.  Modern roller blinds see a mixture of  with either dual roller blinds or roller blind combined with elegance of sheer curtains.  We increasingly see a range of textured fabric being purchased to provide a softer feel to the traditional roller blind.
