Made to Measure Roller Blinds

Why should I choose 100% Linen for my Roller Blinds?

Linen is considered to be the strongest of all natural fibres due to its strength and durability.

It's a natural fibre with a lower environmental impact than cotton.

Linen is a naturally sustainable choice - flax is a hardy plant that thrives in poor soil and on rainwater alone, and because it doesn't need pesticides, the environmental impact of linen is much lower than that of lots of other fabrics. Every part of the plant has value, eliminating any waste. Flax is biodegradable and is now commonly recycled.

Linen is sturdy by nature and holds the ability to repel dirt and stains, making it an excellent choice for soft furnishings.

It's luxurious.

Very easy to sew with.

Most of our printed fabrics are based on a 100% Linen cloth or a smoother Linen Union (linen and organic cotton mix), both of which feel and look beautiful. The flax is grown in Belgium, woven into cloth in Lancashire, and then printed in England.

Woven 100% Linens

Please see the beautiful collection of timeless Scandinavian Woven stripes. Here the pattern is integrated into the fabric through weaving rather than printing, some of which are double-sided, namely the Baltic and Lapland Stripes. These are

The 100% linen yarns are dyed and then intricately woven together to produce this very fresh Scandinavian Woven Collection.

The Ikat part of the stripe (a characteristic of ikat fabrics is an apparent irregular "blurriness" to the design) is created here by screen printing the colour onto the warp (north to south) threads, and then the weft (west to east) is woven across them producing the irregular and famous Ikat shapes. These linens are hand loomed with incredible expertise and love.

Pros for choosing Roller Blinds:

GREAT FOR INSIDE A RECESS – Roller Blinds are a great option if you want to install a blind inside a recess because they are really easy to fit, lightweight, practical, easily adjustable with beaded chains (or ivory cord), and visually very stylish.

PELMETS - if you have your blind inside a recess, you can choose to have a smart, perfectly pattern matched pelmet that covers the roll at the top revealing the reverse lining; this is approximately 11 cm deep. It has revolutionised the use of Roller Blinds, making them much more attractive and usable in all rooms of a house!

MAXIMUM LIGHT – if you want to allow in as much natural light as possible, Roller Blinds may be the better option over Roman Blinds. With Roller Blinds, the fabric rolls up at the top of your window and will take up about 9 cm of space.

CENTRAL PULL – with a Roller Blind you can have a centre pull which can be handy on a window behind the kitchen sink. This comes with an ivory coloured cord and wooden acorn.

LOWER MAINTENANCE – once you have pulled up a Roman Blind you sometimes have to handle the folds as they can get caught in the cords, you don’t have this problem with Roller Blinds. It is just one piece of fabric that is adjusted with either a continuous beaded chain to either the left or right hand side of the blind, or as previously mentioned, a centre pull.

TREATMENT OPTIONS - We offer three different finishings on our Roller Blinds: Laminate, Blackout, and Processed. The laminated backing is a lining bonded onto the face of the fabric (no lamination takes place to the face fabric). Blackout is an off-white lining, which again is bonded to the fabric but is ideal for privacy. And Processed is just the fabric on its own with that has a clear stiffening spray applied to it for rigidness.

STYLISH IN DESIGN - You have a lot of creative freedom when it comes to the finished look of your Roller Blind. In addition to a pelmet, you can also add a 5 cm contrasting bottom border. Any of our other fabrics can be used for this, for example Gypsy Garland in Dove, with a bottom border in Stockholm Stripe - Dove, Winter. You could also opt for a Plain Linen Union in Saffron border instead, to go with the Gypsy, depending on the other colours in your room. The choice is yours to coordinate as you see fit!

Also, if you can’t reach the top of the window at all easily, a Roller Blind with a pelmet to hide the roll might be the right choice as you will have no need to reach the top ever. The maximum size for roller and roman blinds is 240cm x 240cm.
