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 MoreRoller Blinds - Configuration of panels/drops over large openings?
Comments (4)I have confess I got a little lost in your question, but I can offer my advice. I try to have the least number of blinds as possible, of course the blinds need to fit into the manufacturers size tolerences and some common sense comes into play too. If you need multiple blinds across a very large window and want to avoid multiple chains to operate the blinds, motorization is always an option (hard wired or battery operated). For stacking slider doors, I usually have a smaller blind over the main door opening and a larger blind over the balance (as I find the smaller door opening is used more frequently, and access is better this way). I prefer having the blinds meet over the windows mullions (rather then over the glass) to offer the most privacy possible as the blinds will have a gap between them. I hope this helps you....See MoreWould you DIY hang venetians & roller blinds?
Comments (32)Hi Sarah DIY can be a great option to stay within your budget and find an agreeable solution to your current dilemma. Window furnishings are generally one of the last jobs required after going through the process of building your house, which means the budget is always tight at this point after all the other 'extra expenses' Therefore you are now potentially starting to look at compromising on the quality that you originally wanted to finish your off your house. Window furnishing can have a fairly visual impact, as well as influencing how the room 'feels', on both the inside and outside of you rooms and home. In the first instance we need to define the difference between a DIY 'Ready Made / Ready to Hang Product' which is what you would purchase from somewhere such as Spotlight vs DIY "Custom Made" products. The difference in quality is significant, however the price points don't have to be. At iseekblinds, we offer genuine custom made blinds, made in Australia. If you visit our website, you can get an instant price online - It would be interesting to see the difference between what you have been quoted and what we can offer. We can turn Roller Blinds around within 3 weeks or sooner if requested and deliver nationally. Everything you need to know regarding measure and installation is on our website and we teach and guide you through the process to ensure you get it right. Please see some of our reviews to hear how our other customers have been surprised at just how easy the installation process has been and are over the moon in regards to the product quality they received. Get Your DIY On! I say. And please don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of any further assistance Cheers, Sally...See MoreTips for cleaning Venetian and Roller blinds
