When it comes to choosing the right blind for a room, you have a lot to think about: the color of the blind, what sort of fabric you have in your blind and even what sort of blind you use. So there’s a lot of choices for you to make when it comes to buying blinds.
What can complicate matters, even more, is that new types of blinds keep cropping up in the world of interior design, so when you choose your blinds you may miss out on the perfect ones for you, just because you had no idea they ever existed.
So, to make the process of buying blinds a bit easier for you, today we’ll be covering one of the new types of blinds that’s taken the world by storm, double roller blinds. We’ll cover off what they are, how they work and how you can get them in your home. So without further ado, let’s talk double roller blinds.
What Are Double Roller Blinds?
Put simply, double roller blinds are based off of the standard roller blinds that we’re all familiar with, but rather than just being a single roller blind, the double roller blinds have an extra bracket system that allows it to hold in two separate roller blinds.
One of these blinds is a dimout blind which will filter light, but still, allow some through and a blackout blind which will completely black out all incoming light. This provides the blind much more utility, allowing you greater control over how much light enters a room through the window.
Because of this, these blinds work excellently for bedrooms and studio apartments. With the dimout layer closed during the day to let in light but retain your privacy and then during the night you can use the blackout layer to block out light pollution from the outdoors.
How Do Double Roller Blinds Work
These blinds again operate just like normal roller blinds, but where traditional roller blinds just have a chain for operation on one side of the blind, these blinds have a chain either side of the blind to separately control each layer of blinds.
As the bracket for these blinds is quite large, this allows you to have your blinds in any configuration you like, with both blinds being able to be completely up or down at the same time, just like a normal roller blind.
Just be aware that while some normal roller blinds have other options for how they’re operated such as by a wand or crank, these types of operation options are not available on double roller blinds.
Where Can You Find Double Roller Blinds
Now onto the pressing question “How can I get myself a set of these amazing blinds?”. Really it’s not that hard to get them. The best place to look for them is online from an online retailer such as DotcomBlinds, but with a bit of browsing, you’ll find a retailer that can produce these blinds at a fair price for you.
Once you’ve found yourself a retailer who can help make and supply you a double roller blind, all you need to do is measure your window for your blinds, which is a quick and easy task, simply just measure the width and drop of the recess of the window and give them those measurements. When you’ve done that just sit back, relax and wait for your new blinds to be delivered to you.
