When you hear the term “double roller blinds” you can instantly imagine that it has two roller blinds in one setting or window. They are not set up side by side but one in front of the other. And each blind has a separate control unit of its own and can be operated separately. So, you can use each blind one at a time or both together.
The Installation of Double Roller Blinds
The installation options for double roller blinds are limited. Here you can see the installation options that are available for this system of shielding your house from the outside world to protect the privacy and intimacy of your home. These options are two in number and they are:
- Face fixed block out with the screen mounted on the reveal – In this type of installation, the block-out blind is on the face of the column wherein the whole window is covered. When this blind is rolled down, it effectively blocks out additional light. It is also effective in a variety of other ways. It aids in keeping all of the system’s components, mechanics, and brackets hidden. And if you have enough space in your window to mount the screen this system of installing a double roller blind is just the perfect thing for a perfect home.

The Working Of Double Roller Blinds
A double roller blind is very suggestive in its name. It has two blinds installed and certainly one window at a same time. It is not placed side by side but rather they are placed one in front of the other. And each of the blinds has its own control system, allowing them to be manipulated independently. This is an added benefit of having this system installed in your home.
When you need light but do not want the outside to peer into your home you pull down the lighter blind. And when you want to block out the wind, rain, cold and sun then you can pull down the thicker blind blocking everything out. So, double roller blinds are dual-purpose blinds.
The Type Of Fabric Used In This System
Every double roller blind has two options of fabric installed in them. The basic material of the blinds is the same for all blinds. Only the pattern, design and texture may vary. It has two blinds:
- One fabric of the blind is a total block out. This means the fabric in this blind is very thick and coarse and made from dark and thick textured fabric so that all light and the elements of nature are prevented from entering into your private space.
- The other blind is made from a translucent screen so that it allows the light and the elements of nature to enter into the room. This, you can choose from different and beautifully printed and coloured fabric which is beautiful looking by nature. You can even see the outside world with no one being able to see you. And you can also make your room more pretty looking.
