Custom Roller Blinds Dundas – Free Installation

Yes, with the right mount. An inside mounted roller sits in the reveal and a sash that swings into the room will hit it, so those windows get an outside mount above the casing with the blind rolled up clear of the swing. For washing the glass, the blind raises fully and the tube is about six centimetres deep, which leaves room to reach past. We check swing direction on every opening at the measure.

Vinyl and solar screen fabrics do not care. They are synthetic, they do not absorb moisture, and they will not spot. Woven light filtering fabrics with a natural fibre content can hold damp longer in a room with poor airflow, and over years that is where you see marking near the bottom hem. In a room that runs damp, raise the blind on dry days and pick a synthetic weave rather than a linen look.

Go lighter than you think. A pale screen at three to five percent openness, or a light filtering weave in cream or off-white, keeps the room from feeling closed in while still stopping the sightline from the street. Dark fabric in a shaded room reads as a black rectangle during the day. Save the charcoal and the blackout for bedrooms where you want the room dark anyway.

It can, if the blind mounts outside the opening. An inside mount takes the depth the shutter panels need to fold back, and then neither one works properly. Mounting above the casing leaves the shutters free to operate and lets you use them for winter draft and the blind for daytime glare. Keep the blind narrow enough that the hem bar does not sit over the shutter hinges.
