Roller Blinds: Sheer, Light-Filtering and Blackout Fabrics, Chain and Spring Controls, Sizes and Fitting
Roller blinds are the simplest and most popular blind: a fabric that rolls up on a tube and sits neatly at the top of the window. They suit bedrooms, kitchens, offices and living rooms, and they come in sheer, light-filtering and blackout fabrics. The control, the fabric and the fit decide how well they work. This guide covers fabrics, controls, sizes, fitting and indicative prices. For other types, see window blinds.
Roller blind fabrics
Sheer fabrics filter light, light-filtering fabrics give privacy and soft light and blackout fabrics block it. Choose by room.
| Fabric | Light | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sheer | Soft, bright | Living rooms |
| Light-filtering | Privacy with light | Kitchens, offices |
| Blackout | Very dark | Bedrooms, TV rooms |
| Solar-reflective | Cuts heat | West-facing windows |
Controls
Chain controls are common and sturdy, spring controls are chain-free and motorized controls add remote operation. See motorized blinds. Keep chains out of reach of children.
Sizes and fit
Inside fits look neat in a deep recess, and outside fits cover more. See window blinds for measuring steps.
Fixing
Fix brackets level into solid wall, and check the blind rolls straight. Use a spacer if a handle blocks the roll.
Roller blinds with curtains
A roller blind behind a curtain gives the best light control. See blinds and curtains.

Care
Dust with a soft cloth or vacuum brush, wipe with a damp cloth and let dry before rolling up. Never roll up a damp blind, since moisture can mark the fabric and cause mould, and do not force a stuck blind, because the spring or the clutch may be at fault.
