Roller Blinds
Roller Blinds – Classic Simplicity & Versatility
Roller blinds are among the most popular and versatile window coverings available today and for very good reason. Their sleek, minimalist design blends seamlessly with a wide range of interior styles, from modern and contemporary to classic and traditional. They are incredibly easy to operate, allowing you to effortlessly adjust the amount of light and privacy in any room. At Holman and Son Limited, we specialise in made to measure roller blinds tailored precisely to your window dimensions and personal style preferences. Our extensive selection of fabrics includes everything from softly light-filtering materials that gently diffuse natural daylight, to heavy-duty blackout fabrics designed to block out sunlight completely for ultimate privacy and restful sleep. Whether you need practical solutions for a bright kitchen, a peaceful bedroom, or a stylish living space, our roller blinds provide the perfect balance of form and function to enhance your home.
How Roller Blinds Work
A single piece of fabric is mounted on a slim tube concealed within a cassette or simple brackets. You operate them via:
- Chain control – precise up/down adjustment
- Spring-loaded – smooth “pull down, release” action
- Motorised – touch-of-a-button or smart-home integration
When rolled up, the fabric neatly disappears into its cassette; when rolled down, it provides a clean, flat covering.
