roman blinds

The phrase 'Roman blinds' has existed for over 2,000 years, and its design revolutionised the concept of blinds in the ancient and modern eras.

Roman blinds are pleated fabrics attached to windows to control light and heat transfer. Their pleated surface helps with folding and prevents creasing. Roman blinds can be up to 25 per cent cheaper than installing curtains.

Let's discuss the history, origin and lifespan of the Roman blinds and why they are so popular today. Onward!

Roman blinds came into existence for their practicality rather than their design. The Romans are famous for their design,

The common styles include a hobbled fold consisting of loops and fabric or a flat style made from one piece of fabric. You can even consider a relaxed roman blind, which offers a more casual look. This is because it is raised through cords running vertically on either side. You can even go for a zig zag blind ideal for a children’s r

It’s easy to get stuck between Roman and Roller Blinds because as a matter of fact, they are quite similar. At A1 Blinds we often get asked this very question! Roman or Roller Blinds?

Well, while both styles are similar in certain ways, they do come with their differences. So, there are still some factors you might want to consider when choosing Roman or roller blinds for your home.

Both are made of a single piece of fabric; however, the fabric sits differently on each when open. Both styles are operated by chains used to pull them up. This can be done by motorisation too.
