ROLLER BLINDS
Commercial Standard
Ella Lifestyle Roller Blinds are the most fashionable window covering on the market. They are made by perfectly aligning your choice of fabric to an aluminium tube – we use a minimum of a 43mm tube and a 49mm heavy duty tube for larger widths which is a higher standard to reduce bowing.
On larger widths we also include a spring assist mechanism that enables the blind to be lighter and increases the capacity of the chain control by three times. All Roller Blinds come with a heavy duty aluminium base rail with a silencer, this acts as a weight and enhances the control of the blind. Larger tube sizes, quality hardware and heavy duty base rails what makes a quality roller – don’t except anything less.
Roller Blinds can be manufactured to be back-rolled or front rolled. Back rolled is where the fabric rolls over towards the back side of the tube. This enables the blind to sit closer to the window, this is most common when face fixing to the architrave. Front-rolling the blind is where the fabric rolls over the front of the tube. This is useful when you need to clear things like window winders or you have dual blinds that need to sit apart. This option also allows the top of the roll to display only the front of the fabric instead of having the back of the fabric showing.
Using the highest quality winder and a chrome chain or plastic chain you can raise or lower in one smooth motion. They are simple, effective and economical.
Fabrics
Blockout is a room darkening fabric which has a coating on the back. The fabric is commonly used in bedrooms, bathrooms or any room that requires privacy. They are not only private, but also block out most light, help keep heat in within the room during winter and keep heat out in summer. They come in a number of styles and colours. There are a number of new textured fabrics, which are becoming increasingly popular and are available to you in our range.
When you are choosing the colour of your blockout fabric you should in addition consider the colour you want to see from the facade of your property. Most blockout fabrics have a white or off white backing regardless of the front colour. In our range of fabrics we offer a few unique fabrics that have a similar colour backing to that of the front. The benefit of choosing a fabric with a comparable backing is that you can blend it to the outside of your property colour if you don’t want white which tends to stand out. There are cheap versions of this fabric type and have a tendency to move sideways overtime which damages the fabric. Our versions are softer and will hold straighter making sure your blinds last longer. The second benefit is if you are choosing a dark colour fabric when you back roll the Roller Blind you will not see the white roll at the top.
Light filtering or translucent fabric is commonly used in living areas and bathrooms. While still providing a degree of privacy. Light is gently filtered into the room making for a perfect setting as there isn’t a coating on the back as per the blockout. The fabrics are light in weight, reduce the sun’s glare and come in a number of plain or textured patterns.
Screen or solar are weaved fabrics that allow sunlight to stream through during the day while maintaining day time privacy. Screen fabrics provide excellent UV and heat protection. A spec sheet is available to provide information on colours and their properties. If your view to the outside is important, choose a darker colour for better transparency. If heat protection is your concern then choose a lighter colour to ensure maximum reflection. Remember during the day you can see out but not in. During the night it will not act as a privacy screen, with the lights on you can see straight through.
