Choose roller blinds with a pelmet for added aesthetic appeal and light blockage. Pelmet options provide a finished look to your window treatments while minimising light gaps and enhancing insulation.
Opt for roller blinds without a pelmet for a minimalist appearance and maximum visibility of the fabric. Ideal for modern spaces or where space constraints are a consideration.
Great for large openings such as Sliding Doors, Bifold Doors, and side by side windows with small gaps or when windows exceed maximum recommended widths.
Choose from a standard, one-control system or independently operated roller blinds.
Roller blinds have specific size limitations, and going too wide, too narrow, or too long can affect functionality and aesthetics. Roller blinds with a width less than 600mm, more than 2400mm, and/or 2200mm in height are not warranted against bowing, bagging, sagging, veeing, tracking, fraying. These are considered normal characteristics of the product and are the acceptable standards industry-wide. They are not a manufacturing defect either. Consult with our experts to determine the optimal size for your windows and avoid potential issues.
Specifically designed to block incoming light escaping off the top and sides of the window opening.
Fully enclosed system consists of a headbox, a set of side channels and a bottom channel.
The inherant characteristics of roller blinds that can be found in any roller blind in the market
At V Custom Blinds we always strive to provide the highest quality window treatment solutions, so we are communicating these industry-wide operating and fabric characteristics.
All roller blinds have top & side light gaps because the fabric is not as wide as the tube it rolls up onto to accommodate the mounting brackets and either the chain drive or the spring tensioning dial or the motor. If total privacy or room darkness is desired, these gaps must be considered. For the ultimate room-darkening solution, choose our Fully Enclosed Cassette system with integrated side, top and bottom channels.
Occurs when the fabric does not roll up straight onto the roller tube and may cause fabric fraying as a result of continual contact with the clutch / chain drive. Often due to window frame or house not being level.
Often a natural occurrence associated with certain fabrics but may also be caused by continual contact with the operating clutch. (see Telescoping or Tracking).
Fabric edges occasionally may curl. This occurs due to the weight of the fabric and should be considered a normal characteristic. Fabric panel will often appear taut at the top, near the tube and at the bottom, towards the bottom bar. Curling is more noticeable in the middle of the blind. This may be avoided by splitting the blind into two separate blinds (see Linked Roller Blinds aka Coupled Shades above).
Shows up as V pattern in the middle of the blind fabric. Occurs when the blind is in a raised position for a long period of time. For wider shades with heavier fabrics, the metal tube may sag over time. As a result, deflection may be more pronounced.
Vertical or diagonal ripples in the fabric may be a result of minor imperfections of fabric weaving or that the blind is not rolled properly. May be avoided by splitting the blind into two separate blinds.
Fabric may twist vertically when the blind is long and narrow. This is considered normal and is not a manufacturing defect.
How do I clean roller blinds?
Simply use a good quality feather duster or a soft vacuum brush attachment to gently remove dust and debris. For spot cleaning, gently wipe with a baby wipe or a soft cloth dampened with water. For deeper cleaning, lightly sponge with a mild detergent and warm water, then blot dry.
Do light filtering fabrics and translucent fabrics offer full privacy at night?
What roller blinds are best for office spaces?
By far the most common type of roller blinds for office spaces is sunscreen or solar screen which helps to reduce glare, minimise eye strain and create a comfortable working environment. However for the ultimate flexibility and light control we recommend motorised dual roller blinds as the best solution for office spaces. Consider motorised roller blinds for added convenience and sophistication. Motorised blinds allow for easy control and adjustment of blinds, particularly in large office spaces with multiple windows.
