Current estimated manufacturing times:

5 working days for New Zealand manufactured 5 DAY ROLLER, 5 DAY FAUX WOOD VENETIAN and 5 DAY HONEYCOMB blinds

7-8 working days for New Zealand manufactured ROLLER & FAUXWOOD venetians

15 working days for New Zealand manufactured VERTICAL & ALUMINIUM venetians

Please note: working days exclude weekends, public holidays and factory closure periods such as Christmas 2024/25 factory closures are 19 December until 6 January. The good news is that by ordering over the holiday period we will be processing orders and you will secure your place in the production schedule upon the factory’s return.

IMPORTED

** see below – 35-50 working days for imported HONEYCOMB, FAUX WOOD, ALUMINIUM and PHOENIXWOOD blinds

** see below – 50-60 working days for imported SHUTTERS

** IMPORTED Chinese New Year.  The factory closes 25 January and re-opens on the 2 February (factory cut-off times are around 10-14 days prior to this, depending on the product type).  This unfortunately means that orders placed after the 13th of January will take longer to get here than usual as it takes the factory a while to catch up on manufacturing after the 1-week annual closure.  Generally, there is 3-4 weeks added to manufacturing times when they return to work.  Shipping is also disrupted as this holiday affects the entire country and everyone scrambles to get containers out in a hurry when everything is back up and running.  We expect shipping to take 1-3 weeks longer than usual in the 6 weeks following CNY.

What Are Dual Roller Blinds?

Installing two blinds for one window offers flexibility in light and privacy control while being incredibly versatile in its design. Instead of being limited to two lighting options (having the blinds up or down), you can adjust dual roller blinds to suit your needs. They also provide advantages such as greater energy efficiency and high durability. We explore how dual roller blinds work and further benefits below.

 

How Do Dual Roller Blinds Work?

As their name suggests, dual roller blinds feature two roller blinds installed in a single bracket, placed one in front of the other with separate controls allowing you to operate each individually. Dual roller blinds usually feature two types of fabric: blackout fabric to block out as much light as possible and a sheer or translucent sunscreen material that allows some light to enter. You can use both, switch between them, or adjust them according to your preferences. The sheerer blind provides ample privacy and softened lighting during the day, while the blackout blind provides complete darkness and helps the body produce more melatonin for a good night’s rest.

 

The Benefits of Dual Roller Blinds

Highly adaptable to your lifestyle, this stylish window covering allows you to customise the fabric you want for each layer of your dual roller blinds.

 

Light and Privacy Control

Dual roller blinds allow you to change the amount of light and privacy you get during the day. You can adjust your blinds to minimise sunlight exposure in the morning and get a full night’s rest. Switching to your sheer sunscreen roller blinds will provide a filtered and more pleasant light environment instead of being exposed to harsh, intense rays during the day.

 

The closely woven structure of a sunscreen blind will work well in the daytime for sufficient privacy while letting in sunlight and allowing you to view the outside. Sunscreen blinds also block up to 97% of harmful UV rays, protecting your home and furniture from excessive sun damage and fading.

 

Multifunctional and Energy Efficient

Change the look of your room as and when you need to with our individually controlled dual roller blinds.

 

Not only are they great for heat and privacy control, but they also provide added insulation for your home due to the extra layer of trapped air. This helps your home stay cool during summer and warm during winter, improving your energy efficiency and providing additional comfort year-round.

 

Durable

Our high-quality construction and superior fabric make dual roller blinds a durable and hassle-free option for many homes. Easy to use and clean, they require little maintenance while offering a highly functional and stylish solution. Install dual roller blinds in your home or business and enjoy their benefits for many years.
