The Bosa Reflect Cool Blue blackout roller blind is a relaxing hue of blue that calms the mind and helps focus. This fabric is of a full opacity, which means no sunlight is able to get through the fabric. This casts your room into total darkness, making it ideal for bedrooms. Another notable feature is the reverse of the Reflect fabric range. This white coloured fabric on the back reflects sunlight and UV rays, preventing them from entering your room. The white back fabric also ensures a uniformed look from outside, despite what colour is shown within your home. Fire retardant, PVC free and easy to maintain, these blinds are the perfect addition to your window.
Fine Tuning
As standard, our window blinds are awesome, and for many of our customers, this is just what they’re looking for. However, as a manufacturer and experts in made-to-measure blinds, we can offer you the chance to go further, fine-tuning your blind and customising it to meet your exact requirements.
Our fine-tuning options are all optional, and your blind will function perfectly without them, but if chain options, coloured bottom bars and chain lengths calculated to suit your installation height rock your world, read on! Below is an explanation for each option available on this blind, but remember, we’re only a quick call away if you have any questions.
Blind Name
If you’re ordering multiple blinds of a similar size and colour naming your blinds can be a handy way of identifying which one is which when coming to fit them. Enter a blind name or label and we’ll include this on the sticker of the packaging to help you identify it.
Install Height
The installation height is the measurement from the floor up to where the brackets of the blind will be fitted.
If you’re fitting your blind higher than an “average” installation, you will need to tell us the installation height. Otherwise, the chain length will be too short to reach, and a new chain in a new size will be chargeable. We use the installation height measurement to decide how long the control chain, cord, crank handle or wand needs to be so that it is within reach for the user but also complies with child safety regulations. Use this field to let us know the installation height and we will deduct 1500mm from this to govern the drop length of the control. Please use the same measurement unit with which you are ordering the blind.
Direction of Roll
As standard, our blinds are Standard Rolled. The fabric falls from the back of the blind, meaning the fabric will be close to the window. Reverse Roll makes the fabric fall from the front of the blind, which can be handy if you're trying to avoid window handles etc as well as being purely aesthetical. If you have a preference you can let us know!

Bottom Bar
As standard, our roller blinds come with a plastic bottom bar that has fabric covering the front half. The back is exposed white plastic. This fine-tuning option allows you to change this to an aluminium teardrop-shaped bottom bar in either white, silver or black or an aluminium round-shaped bottom bar in either white or silver. Aluminium bottom bars are not fabric covered.
Default
White Aluminium Round
Silver Aluminium Round
White Aluminium Teardrop
Silver Aluminium Teardrop
Black Aluminium Teardrop
Side Guide Wire System
This option allows you to select a side guiding system that sees a 2mm silver wire fitted to the top of the recess or ceiling down to the window sill or floor, that runs through the bottom bar of the blind. This prevents the blind from moving anywhere except up or down. This is ideal for areas prone to breezes or if the blind is fitted at a slight angle. Wire system is available in either Black, Silver or White. Tear Drop Bottom Bar MUST be selected for this system.
Our roller blinds are made to the highest standards based on over 30 years of manufacturing experience. As a result, you can rest assured knowing you are purchasing a roller blind that not only looks great, but also it is built to last.
For recess fit blinds we deduct 2mm from the width to account for the brackets.
All our width measurements are based on the bracket-to-bracket size you give us when the order is placed, all roller blinds have a fabric width that is 40mm smaller than the given width measurement, to allow for the mechanism, pin end and brackets in the overall finished width.
As standard, the roller blind will comprise of a white plastic bottom bar that is half-wrapped, meaning the fabric will cover the front of the bottom bar but not the back. The bar is 30mm high and 14.4mm wide. You can change the bottom bar to a teardrop-shaped aluminium bar or a round bar in the fine-tuning section.
The chain mechanism is white plastic and works on a 1:1 ratio, meaning one revolution of the chain is one revolution of the mechanism. The default standard chain is nickel-plated and each ball has a diameter of 4.5mm with a link length of 1.75mm. You are able to change your choice of chain in the fine-tuning section.
The brackets are white metal and, if selected, the bracket covers are white plastic. Screws and plaster wall-plugs are not supplied with the blinds due to the variety of locations these blind are fitted, and so we recommend using wall plugs and screws suited to the surface you’re fitting the blind to.
The fabric is locked into the metal barrel, ensuring it can’t be removed or easily shifted. The barrel is made from aluminium and increases in size depending on the square meterage of fabric. As the blind gets bigger, so does the barrel. This is to prevent bowing in the barrel as the fabric weight increases, ensuring a perfectly straight barrel regardless of the size.
Wider width option
We can make this roller blind to a width of 3450mm and a maximum drop of 4250mm. This is above the sizes offered by many other retailers and this is because we automatically upgrade the barrel and mechanism to a more heavy-duty type to accommodate the extra weight from the fabric – at no hidden cost to you.
There is a chance your extra wide roller blind will have a join in the fabric running horizontally near the top of the blind. For wide blackout blinds particularly, this join is welded to ensure no light can get through.
How to Measure
Now, you can’t mess this one up. It’s what we call ‘easy’ here at DotcomBlinds. But just in case you need some help, follow this quick guide.
First thing's first, identify whether your blind is going inside or outside of a recess.
Inside the recess
A recess fit blind means you supply us with the width and drop of your recess – from top to bottom and wall to wall. We make deductions to account for the brackets to ensure your blind fits within the recess perfectly.
To measure a roller blind to fit inside the recess of your standard window, simply measure the full width and the height of the recess. Then input those measurements into the product page with your order selecting the ‘recess’ option. We’ll do the rest, leaving you the well-deserved excuse to put your feet up, you worked hard for it after all!
Don’t be tempted to deduct any measurements, we do this for you. Make sure you use a metal tape measure; a cloth one can stretch and give you more millimetres per centimetre than a pound-shop ruler. Also, take your measurements in three places and give us the smallest (if there is a smallest). You will find that some recesses shift and settle over time.
Outside the recess
A blind going outside of a recess is usually called an exact fit blind. An exact fit blind means we won’t make any deductions to the width or drop measurements. Exact fit is the bracket to bracket measurement and is commonly found installed outside of a recess. The size you give us is the size your blind is made to.
If you want your blind to hang outside the recess, measure the height and width but be sure to add some overlap to reduce light leakage. This overlap should be about 70mm at the top and bottom and 50mm each side, ensuring you suffer no dazzling strips of sunlight once your blind is happily installed. Please select the ‘exact’ size option when ordering.
Measuring Installation Height for Chain Length
On applicable products you'll be presented with the option to fine-tune your blind after you enter your measurements into the product page. One of these options allows you to tell us the installation height of the blind, which means we can ensure the operating chain for the blind can be easily reached. This is particularly helpful for blinds that are being fitted at height. To get the installation height, measure from the floor up to where you are going to fit the brackets. This is not the same as the drop measurement of the blind.
Please note, if you don't include the installation height with your order and you find the chain needs to be longer, you will need to purchase a new chain loop, which can be found here.
How to Install
You overcame the measurement minefield and now you must face the final challenge – installing your roller blind. Honestly, it isn’t half as bad as you think it is, and with this very easy guide, you’ll be done in no time. Grab a cuppa and have a quick read through our instructions to familiarise yourself before you get started. The tools you’ll need are: drill with 5mm drill bit, tape measure, suitable fixing plugs, screws and a screwdriver.
Step 1
Before you begin match the brackets up to the blind. You’ll notice one end has a circle and the other has a cross shaped opening. The control end goes into the cross shaped bracket and the pin-end goes into the circle. Doing this will ensure you don’t fit the blind back to front. Place your first bracket in the position you wish to fit the blind to. Ensure your blind won’t get in the way of any handles or vents and adjust the positioning of the bracket to accommodate this.
Measure the distance from the window to the bracket and mark the spot you need to drill, and repeat this on the other side, ensuring the brackets are level (a spirit level can help gauge this). Drill the hole, starting with a smaller pilot hole and then going to the wider 5mm drill bit. You should use a thin wood drill bit if attaching it to the window frame and consider using the smaller screws supplied. If you are fitting the blind to the wall, use a masonry drill bit with the wall plugs supplied (make sure the drill bit and the wall plugs are the same size).
The alternative way of installing your blind is to attach these brackets to the ceiling or top of the recess with the blind hanging below, which is known as top fix. Again, drill a pilot hole first before using the wider drill bit and relevant wall plugs.
Important Note: Ensure there is enough space at the pin-end bracket (the end opposite the mechanism) to allow for free movement of the barrel. The pin-end of the blind is sprung to allow for easy removal of the blind and should not be fully compressed as this can cause the barrel to rub on the bracket and make operation stiff. This can result in the blind being hard to operate and for the chain to break.
Step 2
Once the brackets are up you can add the bracket covers if you ordered them. These optional extras will simply slide onto the brackets, giving your blind a professional and clean finishing touch if outside of the recess. The bracket covers are designed to have a nice tight fit, if you ever need to remove them insert a flat screwdriver into the cutout at the bottom inside of the cover and twist, this will release the cover. Note: If you wish to use bracket covers on a blind going into the recess, be sure to account for the size of the cover before screwing in the brackets as it might be a tight fit.
Now it is time to fit the blind. First, attach the end opposite the controls (known as the pin-end), push gently against the pin-end to suppress the pin, lift the control end up and attach to the control end bracket.
Next Steps
Depending on the control type you selected from your blinds - the next steps will differ, but we've got you covered...
Standard Roller Blinds
attach the relevant child safety devices. The cord retainer should be at the maximum distance possible from the control mechanism, keeping the chain taut (but free enough to operate the blind smoothly). Put the retaining device on the wall, mark the hole with a pencil, drill the hole, insert a wall plug and screw the device to the wall. And there you go – your blind is safely up, so all that’s left is to give it a quick test.
Crank Operated Roller Blinds
Unpack the crank handle and attach the hook on the end of the handle to the eyelet on the blind’s mechanism. The crank handle is designed to fold out to create a handle to easily rotate the shaft, thus operating the blind smoothly and easily. If the blind is top fix, the pole clip should go within the recess to keep the crank handle out of the way, or on the wall close to the edge of the blind if it is a face fix blind. This is attached easily: simply mark on the wall with a pencil where you wish to hang the crank, drill the holes and insert a wall plug into each hole and screw the device to the wall!
Changing the Roll
If you wish to change the way the blind is rolled, which is sometimes a good idea if you are trying to avoid window handles or other protruding objects, then simply unravel the blind all the way to the metal barrel and then re-roll it in the direction you want. Note: Make sure your hands are clean, you wouldn’t want to mark you nice new shiny blind! It’s also a good idea to have your hands at equal lengths to ensure that when you re-roll the blind the roll is even, this will prevent any gather at one end and exposed barrel at the other.

Ensuring our products are child-safe is a priority for all of us at DotcomBlinds. As a result, our blinds are child-safe by design, with built-in safety mechanisms to help reduce the risk of an accident. These mechanisms specific to roller blinds are:
• All chains provided with our products are made at a maximum length of one metre
• Chain tensioners (or p-clips as they're also known) are supplied with every chain operated blind to hold the chain out of the way of children
We offer Child Safe Plus features with some of our roller blinds, which are known as crank-operated roller blinds which a cordless means of operating the blind.
Our crank-operated roller blind option replaces the chain with a detachable crank handle that hooks onto the mechanism and is turned, lowering or raising the blind as it goes. The crank handle can be unhooked and put out of reach of children and ultimately removes any chance of loops which are the biggest risk-potential when it comes to blinds.
We also offer an electric blind option which means the roller blind is controlled by remote control. Again, this removes any chains or cords and also makes operating a blind more convenient.
If you have any questions about child safety and our blinds, please do not hesitate to get in touch, we're always happy to help.

This blind uses a chain mechanism for its operation. By moving the chain, you can lift the blind fabric up, or lower it. Our chain mechanisms are child-safe and should always be installed with any additional safety accessories provided such as P clips.
This blind features a fire-retardant fabric, providing peace of mind and safety to your home. Our fire retardant fabric is a high-quality material that will not catch fire when presented with a flame; instead, the area that is in contact with the flame will burn but it will self-extinguish once the source of heat has been removed.
This blind is made in the UK in one of DotcomBlinds’ UK factories. By purchasing a blind made right here in the UK you are helping to support the British manufacturing industry. Blinds made in the UK will typically have shorter lead times due to the fact they won’t need to be shipped internationally.
This blind is available on our Same Day Priority Dispatch Service, which is ideal for when you need a blind in a hurry. By selecting the Same Day Priority Dispatch option at checkout, your blind will jump to the front of our production queue, being made and dispatched that same day when ordered before 11am on weekdays (orders after 11 am or on weekends/bank holidays will be prioritised for the next working day). Please be aware that while most SDPDs are delivered the next working day, we do not guarantee next-day delivery.
This blind features a plain fabric with a solid colour. Plain fabrics are incredibly versatile and can easily be matched to the existing decor in your home or add a fresh new colour to your windows. Be sure to order FREE fabric samples to get a feel for the look and feel of the fabric in person before making a purchase.
This blind features a blackout fabric, proving the light-blocking benefits you would expect from a blackout blind. This fabric will not allow exterior light to pass through it, helping to create a dark environment in your home, which is ideal for bedrooms and home cinemas. Please be aware a minimal amount of light may still leak into a room around the edges of the blind.
This blind features a thick thermal fabric, which will help provide additional insulation to your home’s windows, making your home more thermally efficient. In winter, these blinds will keep your home warmer by minimising heat loss through your windows, and in summer, they will keep your home cooler by minimising the amount of outside heat that enters your interiors.
This blind features a solar-reflective material. This means the blind has a special backing that bounces back the sun’s rays. Reducing heat and glare building up in a room beyond the abilities of a regular blind is ideal for rooms exposed to a lot of sunlight. Please note that the backs of these fabrics will appear different to the front of the blind due to the solar reflective properties.
