Depending on the sunlight and the desired degree of shading or sight protection, you can choose from a wide range of roller blind fabrics. From absolutely dense textiles to fine almost transparent fabrics, a wide range is available. The blockout (sunblock) ranges are Brella, Holland, Triglas, Banlight, as well as Urban Shade and Seedcloth with flock backing. The Palette range is dense but a semi-blockout (semi-sunblock).
These blinds are affixed to a mill finish aluminium roller tube into which fits a side control mechanism. We make use of two roller tube thicknesses for the lighter to heavier fabrics.
The
bottom of the blind is finished off with a round powder-coated aluminium lath.
We do not add on lace. We can attach scallops when requested but do not put
cord, binding or lace along the bottom edges.
Our roller blind fabrics are not hemmed along the side edges as this encumbers
the desired rolling action as they roll up too thickly on the sides compared to
the middle of the blind.
The blind, especially narrow long blinds, must be guided up by hand to prevent the fabric from rolling up skew. If you do not guide the blind as it goes up, the fabric will touch the brackets and the edges of the fabric will fray. Please advise the client before accepting the order. Blinds with long drops may bow (bulge) in the middle. This is natural. The blockout blinds cannot block out light completely as a certain degree of light will filter through between wall and side of blind. A room would however be adequately darkened and sun will be blocked out.
Our roller blind fabric with a natural flock backing is very popular as this resembles curtaining fabric and serves as a sun block. This fabric should not be washed or dry cleaned. Spot clean fabric with suitable detergent – a small sponge with a light detergent is ideal. Before cleaning the fabric, first test it on an inconspicuous part. The Seedcloth fabric is made using natural cotton fibres which vary in colour. An exact colour match to the samples cannot be guaranteed. The SheerWeave 2000 & 5000 screening fabrics cut out glare entirely especially on TV and computer screens/monitors while still filtering through light as the fabrics comprise a 5% (Sheerweave 2000) - 10% (Sheerweave 5000) openness factor.
