Linesque BO Blockout Roller Blind 

Vine

When choosing a roller blind in the Australian context, there are a few factors to consider.

Roller blinds come in various materials such as blockout, sunscreen, and light-filtering.

When choosing material, consider your requirements and preferences.

Measure your window accurately to ensure the roller blind fits appropriately. Consider whether you want a Recess Fit ("inside mount"/ within the window frame) or a Face Fit ("outside mount " /covering the entire window frame). Also, consider any obstructions like handles or window cranks, tiles, skirting boards, etc., that may affect the fit.

Roller blinds come in various colours and textures. Choose a style that complements your decor and enhances the room's aesthetic. Consider the colour scheme and how the back fabric of the blinds will look from the outside for the best appeal, furniture, and overall ambience when selecting.

Decide on the type of operation you prefer. Roller blinds can be operated manually with a chain, or motorised for convenience. Motorised blinds allow for remote control or integration with smart home systems.

Determine your budget range and explore options within that range. Roller blinds can vary in price depending on the material, size, and additional features. Consider the long-term durability and quality of the blinds when making your decision.

Single Roller Blinds A single roller blind has one tube and is ideal when you only need your blind to perform a single function—such as blockout for complete privacy. They also pair beautifully with sheer curtains, giving you both functionality and a soft, stylish finish.

Double Roller Blinds A double roller blind features two tubes on a slimline double roller bracket, giving you the flexibility to combine fabrics for different purposes. For example, pair a blockout blind for complete privacy with a sunscreen or light-filtering blind for daytime comfort. This versatile design maximises functionality while keeping your window furnishings minimal and streamlined—and it’s a smart way to save on costs too.

Blockout curtains typically block out more heat than blinds when curtains are installed into pelmets or dropped ceilings, and curtain drapes are installed past the window opening on all four sides. This prevents heat from entering the room and cool air from escaping out the window because curtains can cover a larger surface area, not just the window opening.

No problem, you can do it yourself.

Remove your brackets If you have a pelmet, take it down before you start.

At the top of your blind, on the pin end side, rotate the clear plastic cog anti-clockwise. This will retract the pin away from the bracket, just enough for you to remove that side of the blind completely. Then take the opposite side of the blind out of the bracket.

Now you can use your cordless drill with the Phillips head drill bit to remove the screws, using the drill's reverse function. Then take down your brackets.

All you’ll need is some masking tape to fix this—just follow the steps below:

A. Unroll your blind all the way down, until you see the bare aluminium tube.

B. Cut a 5 cm strip of masking tape and stick it onto the aluminium tube, on the side you need the blind to go to. Roll your blind back up to check if it tracks straight.

C. Add a couple more layers of masking tape for thickness, until the blind rolls up straight. If this doesn't fix the problem, please contact us.
