Frequently asked questions about the Roller blinds category
What are roller blinds and which windows do they fit?
Roller blinds are a fabric panel on a tube that rolls up to control light and privacy; they fit UPVC, wooden and aluminium windows as well as large panoramic openings. Our category includes widths from about 60 to 240 cm and fabrics from light-filtering to blackout.
How to install roller blinds — step-by-step instruction and video tips?
Mount the brackets level and on marked points, insert the fabric tube into the brackets, attach the control chain and set the travel stops as needed. Look up the model-specific installation video (e.g. RULOO MANCHESTER or METALIC) from the manufacturer — typical installation time is 20–40 minutes.
Which blackout roller blinds are available and where to use them?
We offer blackout fabrics that provide full room darkening and heat protection, ideal for bedrooms, nurseries and rooms needing complete darkness. When choosing, check fabric opacity and whether a blackout backing is listed in the product details.
How do day-night roller blinds differ from regular roller blinds?
Day‑night roller blinds have alternating sheer and opaque stripes allowing you to adjust light and privacy without fully rolling the blind up or down. They are ideal for living rooms and bedrooms where flexible light control is needed.
Can roller blinds be installed without drilling on UPVC windows?
Yes — there are no‑drill kits with clamp or adhesive brackets designed for UPVC windows. These fittings suit most frame profiles, but check frame width and model compatibility in the product description before buying.
What sizes of roller blinds are available and how to measure a window correctly?
We carry standard sizes roughly from 60×150 cm to 240×240 cm, with product titles showing exact dimensions (e.g. 60x190, 90x240). Measure width inside the frame and height from the top mounting point to the sill or floor; for outside mount allow an extra 2–3 cm.
What materials are used for roller blinds and how to choose between screen, natural and metallic fabrics?
We offer screen fabrics (reduce glare while keeping the outside view), natural blends (linen/mixes for decorative use) and metallic-coated fabrics (dust resistant and heat reflective). Choose screen for balconies/kitchens, blackout for bedrooms and natural fabrics for living areas.
Are roller blinds suitable for UPVC windows with a wide sill?
Yes — many models are designed for UPVC windows with limited recess depth, using compact tubes and no‑drill fittings. Always check frame depth and the fitting type in the product description before purchase.
How to choose roller blinds for a bedroom — what to consider?
Pick blackout or dense day‑night fabrics, ensure full edge coverage and quality control mechanism, and choose models with tight side fittings to prevent light leakage. Check product specs for full blackout performance and correct width to cover the window fully.
