Roller Blinds are a great option for homes. They are compact, easy to clean, affordable and easy to install. Roller blinds come in a variety of materials and choosing the right combination can ensure your blinds not only look great, but are functional too. 

There are three main types of material you can select with roller blinds - Blockout, Thermal and Sunscreen. Each option different benefits when it comes to control light, insulation and privacy.

Blockout Roller Blinds offer a contemporary look while keeping room private and in the dark! No light can be seen through the blockout fabric which is coloured both sides making either front or back roll great options. 

Thermal Roller Blinds offer the same privacy and light controlling benefits as Blockout Roller Blinds while also providing improved heat retention and a softer fabric. No light can be seen through the fabric which has a soft thermal backing making front roll most suitable.  

Sunscreen Roller Blinds are a great option for living spaces. Blocking out 95% of harmful UV rays, Sunscreen Roller blinds help protect furnishings from fading while still allowing you to see outside. 

Once you have selected the material then it is time to select the colour. The best way to do this is to order samples of your preferences and see for yourself if it is the perfect addition to your colour scheme.
