Horizontal roller blinds
Comments (16)Hi I'm getting pretty much what I think your after. It's from Markilux and one of the exterior conservatory blinds. I had a tough courtyard to cover for BASiX requirements. It has a cassette that the blind rolls into. And runs on tracks fixed with a post in my case. It's not installed yet so no photo but here is a link to the manufacturer. http://www.markilux.com.au/external-conservatory/w2/i1004595/ The downsides of this type of blind is I can't use it in the rain. I had to have it run flat and its large, but if you can have it angled for a run off, I think you can use it with rain. The other option I looked as was a soft Roman style blind that hangs on wire tracks. And it can be pulled over the space. I think there is motorised options too. Good luck!...See MoreWhat's in your home? Venetians, Roller Blinds or Curtains?
Comments (15)I love rollerblinds for their neat, sophisticated look. Venetians are a nightmare to clean... x) Plantation shutters are worth the investment. Low maintenance and good in wet areas where fabrics/wood may not be so good. I have a mix of plantation shutters and rollerblinds, with a few curtains. :)...See MoreShould I go with blinds, plantations or rollers?
Comments (24)Hi Annb1997 I was also confused and intrigued about the two sided binds - so looked them up and found they differ from double rollers. A company called 'Blinds on the Net' supply them. They are called Zebra Blinds and this extract from their website explains how the operate "The cleverly designed Zebra Blind utilses a horizontal striped fabric with alternating Translucent or Block Out and Sheer stripes. Two layers of this fabric move independantly to create overlaping combinations or Translucent and Sheer or Block Out and Sheer. A simple but effective idea that allows high levels of light and privacy control with the one product."...See Moresuggestions on roller blinds
