If you’re looking for a cost-effective yet attractive way of adding blinds to your home, then double roller blinds are ideal. As the name suggests, they consist of not one, but two blinds. The first is made of translucent or sunscreen material, which allows you to see out, while ensuring protection from the sun. The second is made of opaque material, which blocks out all light. When it comes to designing your double roller blinds, the world is your oyster: there are as many options, in terms of colours and patterns, as there are interiors. Benefits of double roller blindsOne of the major benefits of double roller blinds (also known as dual roller blinds or double view blinds) is that they give you options. On sunny days, when you want to enjoy the warming effects of sunlight and see the outside world, the translucent or sunscreen blind allows you to do both. At the same time, it protects your home from the damaging effects of sunlight and maintains privacy. However, when you want total darkness or maximum insulation, all you have to do is unravel your block-out blind. Moreover, double roller blinds look great. You can design them anyway you like. For a sleek, stylish appearance, choose two blinds of the same colour. To bring some dynamic to your interior, go for two contrasting colours. And, if you’d like to add curtains for an attractive, softening effect, that’s fine, too! Double roller blinds are suitable for nearly any room, including kitchens, bathrooms and laundries, because they’re usually made of fire retardant, mould-resistant materials. Cleaning them is a cinch: all they need is a vacuum to remove dust, then a wipe-over with a cloth and some warm, soapy water. Should the blockout or the sunscreen fabric be placed closest to the window?In the majority of homes, it makes most sense to place the translucent fabric or sunscreen blind nearest the window. This layer usually gets the most use, given that most people like to let sunlight in during the day. Come night time – or whenever darkness and warmth are needed – simply lower the block-out blind over the translucent one. Which fabrics can be paired in a double roller blind?Choosing your double roller blind’s fabric is the fun part. In terms of colours and patterns, there are double roller blind fabrics to suit pretty much every interior design. You can choose two similar colours or, for attention-grabbing double roller blinds, go for contrasting shades. Either way, double roller blinds usually consist of a blockout blind, made of opaque material, and a sunscreen blind, made of translucent material. If you like, you can opt for a light filtering blind, which diffuses any natural light that enters your home, without compromising privacy. What do I do if I can’t fit a double roller blind into my window recess?If you’re unable to add double roller blinds to your window recess, then the solution is easy: all you have to do is install two separate blinds. The first – the translucent or sunscreen – should go on the inside, giving you and your home protection from sunlight and privacy, while letting in natural light. The second – the blockout blind – should go on the outside, where you can access it easily, when you need total darkness and insulation. Between the two, you’ll have complete control over light filtration, privacy and insulation.
