Translucent Roller Blinds

Translucent Roller Blinds are a unique and stylish light filtering blind

The Translucent range of roller blind fabrics is a modern and sophisticated window treatment. Translucent blinds softly filter light and still provide a level of privacy. Unlike a sunscreen which is not private at night when the lights are on, a translucent roller will have a level of privacy where you may see shadows but not detail.

We strongly encourage all customers to order samples of the different blind types and colours they are interested in prior to placing the order. These will be delivered to you within three working days and you can then make your choice and come back to the website to place your order.

Measuring Advice

Use a metal tape measure for accuracy, measure width by height in millimeters (mm) as this is what our system uses to generate your instant quote. We have measuring guides that explain how to measure. Please provide an accurate tight measurement, we take the necessary deductions here at the factory.

Size Not Avaliable

Check that you are entering your sizes in millimetres (mm) e.g. 1 metre is 1000mm. Alternatively the size you are attempting to enter may be outside of spec (too small or too big).

Manufacture Time

The manufacture time for blinds is 7-10 working days, with the exception of Roman blinds which have a manufacture time of 10-14 working days. Vision and Visage blinds require fabric that is imported from the UK so we allow an extra week on top of the standard 7-10 working days. Please allow for the delivery period depending on your location. (PLEASE NOTE ALUMINIUM VENETIANS ARE CURRENTLY 3 WEEKS AS WE ARE WAITING OUR NEW MACHINE TO ARRIVE)

ROLL TYPE

This refers to the options of front roll or back roll.

Front roll: rolling blind fabric over the front of the tube.

Back roll: rolling fabric over the back of the tube.

Traditionally it is standard to roll over the back. However, some factors lead to front rolling being the best option. For example the fabric has a white block-out backing. Or the blinds are being fitted in a bay window or over a door with large handles.

Chain Colour:

CHAIN COLOUR

The chain colour refers to the colour of the chain which operates the blind.

We recommend co-ordinating colours work best. For example having the chain, drive unit, bottom rail all the same colour and a colour that compliments the blind fabrics or surrounding features in your home.

Bottom Rail Style:

The bottom rail style refers to the style and colour of the bottom rail which sits along the bottom edge of the roller blind.

We suggest linking all blind component colours together such as the bottom rail, chain, and brackets, drive unit.

Bottom rails are available in various different shapes. They are available round an oval. View colours here
