Browse Forums Window Furnishings 1 Apr 24, 2015 4:14 pm Hi guys, I am looking at putting blinds into my main bedroom. which sit inside the window frame. The length of the window frame is about 270cm and the height is about 200cm. I have tried a few places but they dont seem to offer anything as wide as 270cm. Any ideas? Regards, Robbie Re: Blind options for wide window 2Apr 24, 2015 4:21 pm Hi Robbie, Some of our blinds can be ordered in up to a 3000mm width! Have a look at our range http://www.homeblindsaustralia.com.au and let me know if there is a particular blind type you're interested in (i.e. roller, roman, venetian etc), as well as the fabric ranges you like and I can confirm for you if we can have them made to the measurements you need. Regards, Naomi Re: Blind options for wide window 3Apr 24, 2015 4:31 pm We were able to get a roller blind wider than that but they added something to the roller mechanism to make it easier to put up and down or it would of been very heavy. You just need to select a material that comes in the right width. We picked one with no pattern so it could be turned the other way. They said there was a risk of the edges slightly curving but it's perfect! Re: Blind options for wide window 5Apr 24, 2015 4:47 pm robbie_p Thanks! I have looked online and you are able to get them custom made and 270cm wide. Now to decide on Venetian or roller blinds. Mmmmm any preference? For a window that wide, it's a matter of deciding whether you would be happy to open/close the slats on a venetian, or if you would want to ever lift it up completely. The 'spring assist' mechanism which xxkatxx referred to is available for a roller blind (to ensure ease of use opening and closing the blind despite the size of the blind). However, a venetian blind of that width would be quite heavy, so it wouldn't be recommended that you lift the whole blind up/down often (other than for occasions to clean the window etc), you'd be better off only opening and closing the slats to control privacy/light. I hope that helps. Re: Blind options for wide window 6Apr 24, 2015 4:56 pm Yup agreed.. As our window faces onto our verandah (kids often outside there) and doesnt get huge amounts of sunlight, if we went for venetians we would only open/close the slats. The thing i find with roller blinds is that its "all or nothing" i.e fully open of fully closed. Re: Blind options for wide window 8Apr 24, 2015 5:07 pm robbie_p Yup agreed..

The thing i find with roller blinds is that its "all or nothing" i.e fully open of fully closed. True! Some people who want to go with rollers, but want something in between 'open' or 'closed' choose to get a double roller blind with a blockout fabric, and a sunscreen (sheer) fabric - http://www.homeblindsaustralia.com.au/roller-blinds/dual/sunscreen-blockout So that's another option you could consider. As xxkatxx said though, while many fabrics will come in a width of 3000mm, some don't. So just shoot me an email if you see a specific fabric you'd like to enquire about.
