FAQ

A Holland Blind is a soft window furnishing that uses a concealed tube at the top to roll the fabric from the top. Traditionally a Holland Blind would come with a decorative or scalloped trim across the bottom and be operated by spring with a tassel. Nowadays this look is less common, and as such Holland Blinds have even taken on a new name to break away from this look: Roller Blinds. Commonly operated by chain-winder, there are now even more modern ways to operate your Roller/Holland Blinds such as via motorization or improved spring systems such as Zero Gravity. Available in a vast range of textures and opacity, Holland Blinds offer a modern shading solution that is suitable across a range of applications.

Yes, Roller Blinds are good. They are a great window furnishing for a number of reasons. Their small and compact profile makes them perfect for areas where there is limited space, such as above doors or behind bulkheads. The ability to choose fabrics with different textures and opacity levels enables homeowners to truly customise their interiors. Roller Blinds are also very low maintenance and require much less regular cleaning compared to other window furnishings too. With very few moving parts, they are not only simple to use, but are highly durable making them suitable across a range of applications such as rental homes, schools and aged care. Roller Blinds can also be motorised, making them highly suitable in today’s modern climate.

How much should roller blinds cost comes down to several factors. These include the texture and opacity in the fabric that is selected, the size of the window that the blind is covering, and if the blind is operated by chain, spring or motorised. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Finer details such as the diameter and quality of the aluminium tube that is used at the top of the roller blind will influence cost. As well as the brand of chain-winder, spring or motor, and other details like the type of bottom bar that is used. It may sound like a lot, but rest assured that roller blinds are in fact quite a cost effective solution to shading your windows.

The types of blinds that are in style in 2022 need to be both stylish and preferably compatible with modern technology. Window treatments such as Roller Blinds have become quite popular due to their ability to be easily motorised and used with smart home controllers (Google Home, Amazon Alexa), as well as being able to be operated via an app on your phone. Sheer Curtains have also become increasingly popular in open plan settings for their style and opulence. Plantation Shutters continue to be highly sought after due to their street appeal and versatility in light control.

Yes, roller blinds (holland blinds) are good option for blocking out light. On a typical reveal fit, there will be small gaps of light down the sides and top of the blind. There are options that will reduce and/or eliminate these gaps such as face mounting the roller blind or upgrading to a cassette channel roller blind.
