Considerations

Light Bleed and Light Gaps

Depending on the fixing type and roll direction, roller blinds may have light bleed, especially with front roll configurations, leading to significant light gaps. No roller blind will block light 100%.

Linked Blind Light Gaps

For linked roller blinds, there can be gaps between individual blinds, affecting privacy and light control.

Chain Maintenance

Over time or with incorrect use, chains used for roller blinds may break and need to be replaced.

Dual Rollers Projection

Dual roller blinds can be bulky, occupying more space and potentially affecting the aesthetic appeal of the window area.

Weight Challenges of Linked Blinds

The weight of linked blinds can pose challenges for smooth operation, and care must be taken to ensure proper functionality.

Secure Fixing Points

Proper installation with secure fixing points is crucial for the stable and reliable operation of roller blinds, as there are only attached to the wall, and ceiling at two points.

Long Chain on High Windows

For high windows, a long chain running down the wall may not be aesthetically pleasing.

Limitations around Bay Windows and corner windows

Roller blinds may not be the most optimal choice for bay windows, as they might struggle to provide a uniform and cohesive aesthetic.

Roller blinds may face difficulties in achieving a seamless fit around corner windows and are not the idea in this instance. Shutters or Curtains are recommended for corner windows.
