When extended roman blinds are a flat piece of cloth, or sometimes wood, which covers the window. When retracted they create a series of folds at the top of the window to stay out of view. In the back of the blinds are rods which keep the folds level.

Roman blinds are available in a variety of heights and widths, with some suppliers offering a made-to-measure service. They are also easily adjustable so you can achieve the ‘perfect fit’.

Roman Blinds are available in many different types depending on the application

Regular Roman Blinds

These are often referred to as ‘dim out romans’ as they made from fabrics which have a dim out effect.

Blackout Roman Blinds

These are simply regular Romans but using a blackout lining. Blackout roman blinds are often used in bedrooms and bathrooms, or other places that require darkness during daylight hours.

Wood weave Roman Blinds

Wood weave roman blinds function in exactly the same way as regular roman blinds, although they are made from real wood. Materials such as bamboo are often used as it is a lightweight and exceptionally durable material.

Faux Suede Roman Blinds

Faux Suede fabrics offer a modern contemporary feel to any room, the range often consists of coffee-like colours and soft tones.
