All our Roman blinds are fully lined and supplied with a top-quality white-coated aluminium headrail and child-safe components to meet BS EN13120. Blinds wider than approximately 132cm ( depending on the fabric width) will be made with more than one width of fabric. When this is required, the blind will be made with a wider central panel and a smaller pattern matched panel at each side.
Roman Blinds can be made with a range of linings - se the linings page for details. Please note that with blackout lining some light will still be visible around the edges of the blind and along the stitch lines where the tape is attached. If fitted outside the recess, we recommend that blackout blinds extend at least 10cm beyond the window recess on all sides.
Cassette Headrail
Our standard roman headrail is a top-quality discreet cassette system with a white plastic chain. Nickel or gold coloured metal chains are available for a small additional charge. The chain is a continuous loop which must be used with the supplied ‘P-clip’ to secure the loose end to the wall to meet child safety requirements. If the installation height is known the chain will be finished
150cm above the floor. If installation height is not known the chain will be finished to 2/3rds of the drop of the blind, subject to a maximum chain length of 100cm.
Breakaway Headrail
This is an alternative headrail designed specifically to meet child safety requirements. The chain mechanism releases from the headrail if a force of more than 6kg is applied. This can be easily re-inserted once removed. A white plastic chain is supplied as standard; nickel or gold coloured metal chains are available for a small additional charge. Benefits include:
- The breakaway headrail removes the requirement for a ‘P-clip’ to secure the loose end of the chain to the wall (to meet the child safety regulations the breakaway option can’t be used with a chain retention device / P-clip so if you wish to use one of these please specify our standard cassette headrail).
- It allows for a longer chain length than the standard cassette headrail - chain length will be 60cm from the floor if an installation height is provided, otherwise a maximum of 100cm or two thirds the drop of the blind.
