Get the Light Just Right With Amart's Roller Blinds

Harsh afternoon sun, nosy neighbours and a room that heats up by lunchtime are common problems with bare windows. The right window coverings fix all three, giving you control over how much light and privacy you let in.

Amart’s roller blinds are made to solve exactly that. Simple to use and easy to live with, our window blinds roll up and down to set the mood in any room, from a bright, airy living space to a dark, restful bedroom.

What are roller blinds?

Roller blinds are a single panel of fabric wound around a tube fitted at the top of your window. Pull the chain or give them a gentle tug, and the fabric rolls down to cover the glass, then back up to let the light return.

They are one of the most practical window furnishings you can choose. Unlike heavier window treatments, these indoor blinds sit flat against the frame with a clean, uncluttered finish that suits any room in the home.

Why choose blockout roller blinds?

Blockout roller blinds use a tightly woven blockout fabric that stops outside light from passing through. That makes them the go-to choice for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms where darkness and privacy matter most.

Our blinds each bring something worth having to your windows:

• Better sleep – The blockout fabric blocks streetlights and early sun, so you can rest undisturbed day or night.
• Year-round comfort – Built-in insulation helps keep warmth in through winter and heat out through summer.
• Lower power bills – That same insulating layer supports energy efficiency, easing the load on your heating and cooling.
• Fade protection – Full UV protection shields your furniture, floors and rugs from sun damage.

Get light and privacy with duo roller blinds

Duo roller blinds give you two blinds in one. A blockout layer and a translucent sheer layer share a single bracket, so you switch between soft light and full privacy in seconds.

You might know this style as double roller blinds or dual roller blinds. During the day, line up the sheer layer to enjoy natural light while keeping prying eyes out. Come evening, roll the blockout layer down for darkness and privacy.

Our duo range gives you this flexible light control in one neat, space-saving design.

Are roller blinds child safe?

Roller blinds can be a child-safe choice when a few simple steps are followed. Keep any cords or chains out of little hands, and fasten loose cords high on the wall with the safety device provided.

For total peace of mind, motorisation removes cords from the picture altogether. Motorised roller blinds run on a quiet motor you control by remote control, so there is nothing dangling within reach of curious kids.

How do you measure for roller blinds?

Measuring for roller blinds is quick and needs only a metal tape measure. Decide whether you want a recess fit that sits inside the window frame or a face fit that mounts on the wall above it, then measure and match to the closest ready-made size.

Follow these four steps for a fit that looks right every time:

1. Choose your mount, either a recess fit inside the window frame or a face fit that covers the opening.
2. Measure the width in three places across the window and note the smallest figure.
3. Measure the drop from the top of the mount down to the sill.
4. Round to the nearest ready-made size in our range for a neat finish.

Which roller blinds suit your room?

The right blind comes down to how much light and daytime privacy each room needs. Bedrooms and media rooms suit a darker, blockout style, while living and dining areas often call for something softer.

A sheer roller blind or light-filtering roller blinds work well here, letting light through while keeping the room private during the day. Light-filtering fabrics also layer beautifully under curtains for a finished, textured look in any space.

Time to dress those windows

Roller blinds are a great start, but your windows can do even more. Layer in sheer curtains or blockout curtains for extra texture and warmth, or compare venetian blinds and sunscreen roller blinds if you want a different look and feel.
