Roman Blinds are a practical and elegant option for your window.
Economical but stylish, their clean lines allow for abundant light when drawn up, and privacy when lowered.
A roman blind can be made in the fabric of your choice, with most curtain material being suitable.
Send us your chosen fabric, or ask us to order it for you.
Fabrics not suitable are:
- Napped fabric like velvet or corduroy
- Stretch fabric
- Heavy upholstery fabric
Calculating the meterage:
- A length of window plus 50 cm
- (for blinds narrower than your chosen fabric width)
- B length of window plus 50 cm x 2
- (for blinds wider than your chosen fabric width)
We will confirm the meterage and price before you buy your fabric.
Measuring
A metal tape measure is recommended for accuracy. Only 2 measurements are required:
LENGTH - measure between where you want the top and bottom to be. The top of the blind is attached to a 2x2 cm wood batten.
WIDTH - The blind may be wide enough to cover the whole frame or narrower leaving the frame exposed.
If the window is recessed, you can position the blind inside the recess, near the glass, or outside the recess as illustrated.
If outside the recess, make the blind width about 3 or 4 cm wider than the window on each side.
Take care that there are no objects to obstruct the smooth operation of the blind. Window levers and wall tiles can sometimes cause an obstruction to blinds inside a recess
Bay windows: There should be a gap of at least 6cm
between
blinds, in the
corners of the bay.
Lining Ablackout liningcan be used to
exclude most of the light. Blackout lining is off-white. Blinds can be interlined to give
them a soft cosier look. This is great for silk etc. Linen voile if thick enough, can be used
un-lined. Alternatively, we will line the blind in a white or
cream, thin transparent voile. Styling
