Description

Blackout Duo Roller Blinds

Premium 100% blackout fabric, made to measure and shipped across New Zealand.

Overview

The Blackout Duo Roller Blind is a made-to-measure roller blind in Duo Block — a premium 100% blackout fabric. Pull it down and the room goes properly dark, with full privacy and no light coming through the fabric.

“Duo” is the name of the fabric, not a type of blind. It comes two ways: Duo Block for blackout, and Duo Screen for sunscreen (light-filtering). The two share matched colours, so they are made to sit together.

Want light by day and full darkness at night from the same window? Pair this blackout blind with a sunscreen blind to make a combo — two blinds in one opening. More on that below.

Key features

  • 100% blackout. The Duo Block fabric blocks all light through the fabric for sleep, shift work, nurseries and home theatres.
  • Real privacy, day and night. Nobody sees in, and you do not get the glow-through you get from cheaper linings.
  • Helps with heat and warmth. The backing reflects summer heat and holds warmth in winter, so rooms stay more comfortable year round.
  • Safe for bedrooms and nurseries. PVC-free, lead-free and Greenguard Gold certified for low chemical emissions — the same standard used in schools and healthcare.
  • Built for big windows. The fabric runs up to 3 metres wide, so it suits large and wide openings.
  • Made to measure. Cut to your exact window size and finished with your choice of mechanism, chain and bottom rail.
  • Combo-ready. Add a colour-matched Duo Screen sunscreen blind for day-and-night control (see below).

Specifications

  • Fabric: Duo Block 3.0 — 100% blackout (complies with AS 2663.3:1999).
  • Composition: 100% polyester with a colour-coordinated foamed acrylic backing.
  • Health & safety: PVC-free, lead-free, Greenguard and Greenguard Gold certified (low VOCs).
  • Fire: Tested to AS 1530 Part III; meets Class 2 – 9(a) building requirements.
  • Light fastness: 6 on the Blue Scale (ISO 105-B02:2014).
  • Maximum fabric width: 3000mm.
  • Care: Dust with a soft cloth. Never use solvents, industrial cleaners or abrasive products.
  • Note: Slight colour variation can occur between fabric batches — within normal industry tolerance.

Make it a combo — day & night control

A combo is a tidy bracket system that holds two blinds in one opening — a sunscreen and a blackout. Pair this Duo Block blackout with a colour-matched Duo Screen sunscreen and you can control light right through the day.

  • By day, lower the sunscreen to cut glare and keep your view, while still letting light in.
  • At night, drop the blackout for full darkness and privacy.

Both rollers sit on one combo bracket with the controls on the same side, so it stays neat. You choose the combo option when you order — it is an add-on to this blind, not a separate product. Because the Duo Block and Duo Screen colours are matched (see the chart below), the pair looks deliberate.

See the matching colours on the Duo sunscreen roller blind page.

Measuring & Installing Guides

Have a question about Roller Blinds?

No. “Duo” is the fabric range — Duo Block (blackout) and Duo Screen (sunscreen). A combo is when you put two blinds in one opening, usually a sunscreen and a blackout. You can order Duo fabric as a single blind, or as part of a combo.

Duo Block is the blackout fabric — it blocks 100% of light through the fabric. Duo Screen is the sunscreen fabric — it filters light, cuts glare and keeps some of your view. They are colour-matched, so they look right together in a combo.

Yes — order a combo. You add a sunscreen blind alongside the blackout blind in the same opening. Sunscreen by day, blackout by night.

The fabric is 100% blackout, so no light passes through it. A little light can still come in around the edges, depending on the fit — a face-fit with a generous overlap is darkest. For edge-to-edge darkness, the LightGuard 360 adds aluminium side channels that seal the fabric against the frame.

Yes. Duo Block is PVC-free, lead-free and Greenguard Gold certified for low chemical emissions — the same standard used in schools and healthcare settings.

The fabric comes up to 3 metres wide, so it handles large and wide windows. Blinds between 6 and 8 square metres are harder to operate, and blinds over 8 square metres sit outside warranty — see the manufacturing notes below.

Order everything for one room at the same time. Colours can vary slightly between fabric batches, so separate orders may not match perfectly.
