Roman blinds are the most versatile style we have. Every fabric in our collection can be made into a Roman blind in one variation or another. It is elegant, functional, as well as robust.
Blind Variations
Roman blinds have the most variations of all styles, here are just some common variations we make.
- Roman Blind Standard (Code R).
- Roman blind with front valance (Code RV)-A front valance is made as part of the blind, this is an excellent blind for practical
purposes as you just do one installation, not 2 pieces. Please note that the valance have no returns, and it is suitable for reveal fit only. - Roman Blind with privacy (Code RP)-This is where privacy is important like a bedroom. A block out fabric is attached to the back of the blind. Please note that this style becomes a block out, and you do loose the sheer characteristic of the fabric in-front. If you would like both a sheer blind and a block out at the same time, please refer to our double systems.
- Rod and Stitch (Code RS)-In this style, there is a very distinct fold line across the blind, as the fabric is folded to create a pocket
in the back for the hooks. It is mainly for visual purposes and is very popular in many European countries.
- Roman with Framed edge-A wide fabric edge is created around the blind, creating a picture framed effect. This is quite
demanding technically as all our corners are mitred to achieve the perfect look.
- Roman blind with front valance and privacy (Code RPV)
- Roman blinds with complete valance-This is where a separate valance is fitted to a Roman. It is more formal and may have a return or a front valance only.
- With the limitations of the fabric, any combinations of the above is possible.
- R-Roman
- V-Valance
- P-Privacy
- S-Rod and Stitch.
Profile Of The Standard Roman Blind.
For any opening, please take 3 measurements of the width (Wmm), and use the smallest number. Do the same for the drop (Dmm) and use the shortest. If it is a reveal fit, we recommend that a 10mm deduction is made on the width, and a 15-25mm deduction is made on the drop.
Wmm-This is the width of the blind.
Dmm- This is the drop. Depending on the fabric you choose and the size of the blind, we recommend that you make a 15-25mm deduction. 
Xmm-This is the distance between the blind and the bottom surface. We recommend 15-25mm.
Ymm and Pmm will change depending on the style of the blind.
Ymm-The thickness of the blind head wood. There are timber structures inside the blind, they make it very easy to install. It is approximately 30mm depending on the thickness of your chosen fabric. For reveal fit, you can screw straight onto the top. For face fit, brackets will be supplied.
Pmm-This is the thickness or projection of the blind. It is approximately 30-35mm depending on the thickness of your chosen fabric.

Stack Height
This is the height or drop of the blind after it is pull up. This will vary depending on the overall size of the blind and the fabric. You can request a certain stack height and we will do our best to achieve this. The general stack height is between 300mm-420mm
