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.
Modern roller blinds can be customised with an endless variety of additions, including scalloped finishes, fabric inserts and bonded fabrics. One of the most functional ways of managing heat and light, your roller blinds can provide total sun blockout or allow filtered light into your rooms.

Blinds for Bay Windows
Roller blinds can be used in bay windows, however there are a few considerations when deciding if roller blinds are right for your bay windows. In most cases the roller blind will been to be over-rolled, this is to enable the fabric to meet in the corners, but there will be small gaps where the fabric does not meet so if you are a light sleeper then using roller blinds in bay windows might not be the best solution.
Anti ligature, Child Safe Roller blinds
Our soft rise roller blind has a slow-rise principle mechanism, once the blind is released from its ratchet-stop, it will glide slowly and smoothly up to its fully open position and come to rest without that familiar crash. Incorporating the Krestel break away magnetic system the prevents the mechanism being used as a ligature support point detaching depending on the weight applied.
