Our factory Roman Blinds are made up of mostly soft window covering fabrics.

Roman blinds are manufactured with a deluxe headrail, comprising the necessary drums and cords. This system operates on a PVC white or silver ball chain. The fabric is attached to the front of the headrail with Velcro for easy removal when blind has to be cleaned. Also, consider Venetian blinds for easy cleaning and roller blinds as an alternative.

The mounting brackets of the Roman blinds are nickel-plated steel. The bottom of the blind is finished off with a round powder-coated aluminium lath. These blinds are not hemmed along the edges.

This should not fray when handled with care and not chafe against any rough edges. The blockout fabrics will let through light, especially along the sides against the wall or where the two blinds join in the middle. The thinner fabrics serve as sun- and light-filtering blinds. The blockout fabrics have a coating on the material.

Our handmade roman blinds are made with the conventional wooden headrail with Velcro attachments and cords to be mounted with a cleat. 

These blinds are made up of curtain fabrics with or without a blockout or sateen lining. These blinds are hemmed on the sides. Pricing will depend on fabric choice.

Roman Sunblock (BLOCKOUT)

Our vast collection of roller blind fabrics is at your disposal for a huge choice in look and feel. Please note that the flexibility of the fabric is the most important factor in deciding whether it is suitable for a Roman blind, or not. All roller fabrics are therefore NOT ideal (and not recommended) for a Roman blind.

For our Roman blind, we use the super deluxe (bella roma) headrail which is a powder-coated aluminium headrail with all the necessary drums and cords for smooth and effortless operation. We use stiffening rods (called figure 8) at the back of the fabric which ensures neat folds when the blind is pulled up. The system operates on a PVC white or silver coated or stainless steel ball chain.

The fabric is attached to the front of the headrail with velcro for easy removal when the blind has to be cleaned.

Nickel-plated steel brackets are used for installation.

The bottom of the blind is finished off with a round aluminium lath (bottom rail) which is wrapped in the same fabric from which the blind is manufactured and closed-off with colour-coordinated plastic endcaps on both ends.

Our Roman blinds are not hemmed along the edges and should not fray if handled with care and if they do not chafe against any rough edges.

These blinds will let through light especially along the sides and against the wall (due to the figure 8 components) or where two blinds join in the middle.

Please remember that a Roman blind made from the blind fabric does not have the same characteristics as those of a Roman blind made from curtaining fabric.
