Roman Blinds |
Roman blinds are made from fabric and gather into pleats when opened. They are available in many different fabrics, so can make a great alternative to curtains. Fully-lined Roman blinds minimize direct sunlight in a room, while also protecting the fabric of the blinds from fading.

Blackout Blinds |
| Blackout blinds are coated on the outside of the fabric to block out as much light as possible. They are often found in hotels, because - as the name suggests - they make it easy to block out all natural light. Available from Web-Blinds

Personalised Blinds |
| Want to add your personal touch to a room? Consider personalised roller blinds with your photos printed on the fabric. You can upload your own digital photo (Tip: we recommend 4 megapixel or higher photos for best results). Alternatively, you can select one from Web-Blinds' photo library.
Web-Blinds' team of professionals can suggest the best area of the photo to crop for the blind design. Within 3-5 days you’ll get a proof showing the proposed design for your blinds. You should receive your photo blinds just ten days after you order is received. Available from Web-Blinds
