Roman Blinds

Benefits and Considerations of Roman Blinds

Advantages

Coordination with Roller Blinds

Roman blinds can be coordinated with roller blinds, creating a cohesive look throughout a space with consistent fabric choices.

Bay Window Compatibility

Roman blinds can be effectively used in bay windows, providing an elegant and functional window furnishing solution.

Blockout Performance

Roman blinds offer better block-out capabilities than roller blinds, as the fabric covers the brackets, unlike a roller blind.

Neat Aesthetics

Roman blinds look neater than roller blinds as brackets are not visible, contributing to a clean and minimalist aesthetic. The headbox also acts as a pelmet for the Roman blind.

Considerations

Light Bleed

Roman blinds may experience light bleed on the sides due to the headbox, which can be a consideration for those seeking a complete blackout.

Pin Holes

Due to the stitching of Roman blinds, it is common that pin holes may be present.

Chain Operation versus Cord Operation

The chain ratio for Roman blinds can be slower than a cord, but the slower rise contributes to the correct folding of the material for a neater appearance.

Reveal Fit

Roman blinds are not suitable to be sold or installed in the reveal due to accessibility issues with the chain, resulting in a loss of around 250mm of window space and natural light.

Consideration for Bay Window Installation

The recommended installation will be 250mm above the architrave/window – keep this in mind when doing your rough measure for pricing.
