Frequently Asked Questions

We have our maximum measurements loaded into the Quote Tool and if your blind falls outside of this we recommend that you split the blind in two that are side by side. Please keep in mind that large blinds can get heavy and wear on the componentry the bigger they are.

In some instances will can manufacture the blinds at larger sizes but we don’t recommend it. It will also mean that the componentry will last a lot longer as it doesn’t have such a weight on it.

Here’s a breakdown below:

Aluminium 25mm: 500mm (width) x 500mm (drop) up to 3000mm (width) x 3000mm (drop)
Roller blinds: From 500mm (width) to 3100mm (width) and from 500mm (drop) to 3000mm (drop)
Timber Venetians: 500mm (width) x 500mm (drop) up to 2700mm (width) x 2500mm (drop)
Faux Venetians: 500mm (width) x 500mm (drop) up to 2500mm (width) x 2000mm (drop)

See our video below detailing the differences between our Faux Wood (PVC) and Poplar Wood.

Reverse Roll: This our most common roll and is described as ‘The Waterfall Effect’ – this roll is perfect for any style of window and the blind rolls away from the glass leaving a gap between the fabric and the window so it won’t knock on any protruding handles or latches. It also looks the most seamless.

Regular Roll: This where the fabric rolls back towards the glass or if mounted on the outside of the window frame it creates a tighter fit with less of a gap between the fabric. This roll will show through the componentry & tube when looking straight on at the Blind.

Not necessarily, Blockout blinds are great for making spaces dark and for privacy but we also have 2 other types of fabric that might suit better.
