    Motor Type

    Which Motor Brand Should I Choose?

    Following feedback and requests from our customers we now offer a choice of motor brands on all our roller, day and night and double roller blinds. But which one should you go for?

    Louvolite One Touch System:

    Our go to motor for electric blinds, it features a robust blind motor with an integrated battery that quite simply works whilst offering great value for money.

    The key features of this motor include:

    • Torque of 1.1nM – More than enough to lift even our largest of roller blinds.
    • Battery capacity – This will need charging between 6-9 months on average.
    • Sound in Decibels of 30dB – Similar to whispering nearby
    • Guarantee – 5 Years

    Somfy Rollup 28 RTS:

    Somfy are the market leaders in motor technology, and we’ve used their proprietary RTS technology for years. It's also an excellent system which is why we continue to offer it. This is ideal if you already have Somfy products and want the new blinds to join an existing array of blinds.

    The key features of this motor include:

    • Compatible with the Somfy Tahoma hub which can then be used for other home automation products.
    • Torque of 0.7nM – Still enough to lift even our largest of roller blinds.
    • Battery capacity – This will need charging between 6-9 months on average.
    • Sound in Decibels of 54dB – Similar to the sound of a refrigerator running.
    • Guarantee – 5 Years

    Light Filtering

    Light Filtering

    Our light filtering blind type is made from what is often termed as ‘dim out’ or 'daylight' fabric.

    It gives complete privacy while still allowing some light to filter through, lending your room a fresh, bright feel.

    A great choice for many rooms, this fabric is often used in living rooms, studies, kitchens and hallways or sometimes in bedrooms alongside curtains to provide a blackout effect.

    Printed Blackout Fabric

    Blackout

    Alternatively you can choose to have your blind made from our fully opaque blackout fabric.

    This style still gives complete privacy but doesn’t let any light filter through the fabric, making it ideal for bedrooms.

    Please note that due to the nature of a roller blind system, some light will leak through at the edges of your blackout blind where the fabric doesn’t cover the window.

    Printed Waterproof PVC Fabric

    Waterproof PVC

    If you’re placing your blind in a higher moisture area such as a bathroom or a kitchen then our waterproof PVC fabric is the best option.

    This blackout fabric again offers complete privacy and doesn’t let any light filter through the fabric.

    With its moisture resistant, wipe clean properties we highly recommend this fabric for use in bathrooms and kitchens.

    Selecting Recess/Fabric/Blind Size

    Please read the guide below and let us know which type of measurement you are providing:

    Recess Size

    Recess Size

    If you want to fit your blind within the window recess as shown above, please provide us with Recess Size measurements.

    To do this you will need to measure inside the window recess from wall to wall for the width and from ceiling to window sill for the drop.

    You should take the measurements three times to make sure you get the most accurate sizes - at the top, at the middle and at the bottom for the width and at the top, the middle and the right for the drop.

    The three sizes to give us are the smallest of the three measurements for both the width and the drop.

    Make sure you do not make any reductions from these sizes yourself. We'll make your blinds slightly smaller on the width than the sizes you give us to make sure that it fits into the space with enough room for it to be installed easily and so the brackets don't scrape the walls, while still covering as much of the window as possible. The adjustment size will differ depending on the type of blind you choose and whether you are adding a cassette to cover the roll - our team will be happy to confirm the reduction amount for you if you advise which blind you are ordering.

    Remember that the width of the fabric will always be slightly less than the total width of the blind to allow for the size of the mechanism and brackets - the difference is usually approximately 3.5cm.

    Fabric Size or Blind Size

    If you want to fit your blind outside of the window recess we recommend overlapping the window by at least 10cm on the width and 10cm on the drop.

    You can then specify whether you want us to use these measurements as the Fabric Size or the Blind Size.

    Fabric Size or Blind Size

    Fabric Size

    If you choose Fabric Size we will use your measurements as the size of the fabric part of the blind only. This means that the size of the brackets/mechanism/cassette will be in addition to the sizes you provide us - this is usually 3.5cm but our team will be happy to confirm the amount for you before ordering.

    Blind Size

    If you choose Blind Size we will use your measurements as the size of the total blind including the brackets and mechanism (and cassette if ordered). This means that the fabric part of the blind will be slightly smaller than the sizes you provide. The amount of difference varies depending on the type of blind ordered - it is usually 3.5cm but our team will be happy to confirm the amount for you before ordering.

    Top Finish Options

    Luxury Roller System

    Luxury Cassette System

    As standard we offer a luxury roller system with our electric blinds, including a smart 7cm tall aluminium cassette that hides the brackets and the top of the roll of fabric. It also removes the gap you would usually see between the ceiling and the fabric roll giving a neater and more high end, contemporary finish.

    You can choose from three colours for this system - white, black or anthracite grey. For most fabrics the cassette will have a piece of the same fabric as the blind itself fitted into the cassette, however, if you are purchasing a sunscreen or sheer blind this fabric cannot be used as an insert and so the cassette will be supplied plain as shown above.

    If you would rather not have a fabric insert and prefer a plain finish cassette, please add this to the special instructions during checkout.

    The cassette can be either top fixed or face fixed depending where you are fitting your blind. Top fix is used when fitting your brackets at the top to the 'ceiling' area inside a recess; while face fixed is used when brackets are attached vertically on the wall for the cassette to clip into such as when you are fitting above a window outside of the recess.


    'Standard' Roller System with Brackets & Covers

    Standard Roller System

    Our standard roller system allows the fabric roll, brackets and blind mechanism to be seen. They can be either top fixed or face fixed, but not side fixed. This is the most common system used and is the one you've probably seen around the most.

    To give our system a premium finish we supply matching plastic bracket covers with our standard roller system at no additional cost. Just slip them over the metal bracket once its screwed into place for a neat, attractive finish.

    This system is only available in white.

    Bottom Finish Options

    Please read the guide below and select which bottom finish option you would like from the drop down menu:

    Plain Bottom Finish

    Plain Bottom Finish

    Our plain bottom finish features a sturdy folded and sewn bottom pocket with a weighted insert to ensure the blind hangs nicely.


    Aluminium Bottom Bars

    Alternatively you can choose to have the bottom of your blind finished with an aluminium bottom bar in a range of finishes.

    White Curved Bottom Bar

    White Curved Bottom Bar

    Black Curved Bottom Bar

    Black Curved Bottom Bar

    Anthracite Grey Curved Bottom Bar

    Anthracite Grey Curved Bottom Bar

    Silver Curved Bottom Bar

    Silver Curved Bottom Bar

    Please Note - In July 2023 our bottom bar options changed from a round aluminium bar to the rectangular Gemini bottom bar with a sleek curved front and stylish angled end caps.
    If you ordered previously and want to check if your new product's bottom bars will match those on your previous order, please contact our team who will be able to confirm.

    A beautiful shade of mid grey that can be added to any space for a smart and modern look, this cool clean colour was inspired by the feathers of the African Grey. Known for their great intelligence and friendly personality they make a desirable companion, but the species is now in decline thanks to the pet-trade and loss of their natural habitat. Their stunning appearance mixing shades of grey and white make it no surprise that this design house took inspiration and created this gorgeous shade.

    Order Blinds are thrilled to be teaming with Boon and Blake, a design house offering glamorous prints that put a contemporary twist on classic patterns. We digitally print your chosen design on to your choice of fabric, to perfectly fit your requirements, before it is made by hand to your exact measurements in our factory.

    Awful quality blinds & even worse customer service. I certainly will not be using this company again!

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that you experienced issues with your blind and are dissatisfied with the response from our team. We take all feedback very seriously and have reviewed the correspondence thoroughly. We would like to clarify that, as outlined in the terms and conditions accepted at the time of purchase, any amendments made to the product after delivery unfortunately void the warranty. In this case, it appears the product was altered before we were contacted about the issue, which prevented us from being able to troubleshoot or offer a solution directly. We’ve been supplying this blind for many years and have full confidence in its quality, design, and our trusted supplier. While no product is completely immune to occasional faults, we always welcome the opportunity to investigate and resolve any concerns. Regrettably, since the blind was dismantled by your installer prior to any communication with us, we were unable to assess the issue properly or provide assistance. We do appreciate your feedback and are always looking for ways to improve. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

    We struggled to find a shop/company to supply a specific sized spring loaded roller blind. Step up 'Order Blinds'. Easy to use selection criteria on their website. Competitive pricing. Well packaged and delivered as stated on the confirmation order email. Concise fitting instructions. The blind is spot on. 100% recommendation from us. Many thanks to the 'OrderBlinds' team.
