    TypeTop

    Dimout
    Light passes through the material but you can’t be seen through it. For when you want privacy but maximum light. Suitable for all rooms where they are unlikely to need cleaning.
    In order of translucency
    Coated Cotton
    PVC

    Note:
    A dark print will decrease the amount of light passing through the material.

    Blackout
    No light passes through the material. Suitable for all rooms, especially bedrooms and other rooms where light needs to be kept out. Good for children's bedrooms as they are robust and can be wiped.
    Blackout Fabric, PVC blackout

    Waterproof
    Suitable for regular, heavy splashing e.g. next to a shower or a damp or steamy environment such as kitchen.
    PVC, PVC Blackout

    About the blinds
    Top
    Your blind is made-to-measure. It has either a side-winding mechanism for complete control or a sprung mechanism with a central cord and toggle. The bottom edge of the blind is rolled around the bottom bar for a neat finish. For side-winding blinds we can offer white or chrome bead chain.

    The Side Winding (shown) and Sprung Mechanisms Top
    We use only the best quality components. They are suitable for damp/steamy environments such as bathrooms. The top bar is aluminium. The side winding fixing brackets are unobtrusive, white, powder-coated aluminium (as shown below) or white plastic. There are two screws per bracket. The mechanism and brackets extend approximately 19mm from each side of the material.

    The InksTop
    We use waterproof solvent inks which are bonded to the materials. This makes them very tough and highly scratch resistant and are superior to inks that are put on as a separate layer. Even in direct sun, the inks are unlikely to fade. Note that the shades of colour may vary from those you see on your computer screen and printer. If colour is critical, please let us know. Please also look at our colour match page.

    InstallationTop
    The blinds are universal which means they can be fitted to the ceiling, window/wall or the side walls of the window recess. Installation is very easy, there are only two screws per bracket and the blinds come with full instructions.
