Dusty Pink Double Roller Blind

This double roller blind is made using Palermo Dusty Pink and Bosa Dusty Pink fabrics. Palermo is a dimout fabric ensuring privacy and protection from UV sun rays whilst allowing a natural level of light to enter the room, this is closely matched to the Bosa blackout fabric, a solar reflective blackout fabric. A double roller blind gives you the ability to enjoy both dimout and blackout fabric in your window, exactly when you need it.

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. For a recess fit Double Roller Blind we will make a 2mm deduction to the given width to account for the brackets. Do not account for this deduction yourself when measuring, we make these deductions automatically. 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. 

How to Install

You overcame the measurement minefield and now you must face the final challenge – installing your double roller blind. Honestly, it isn’t half as bad as you think it is, it's just a case of getting the brackets in place and then putting barrels up into the brackets! Simple! Firstly, you need to remember how you measured for your blind. This affects where you attach the brackets.

Step 1

There are two ways of attaching your blind’s brackets: either attach them to ceiling (or top of the recess) or to the wall or window frame (depending on how you measured your blind in the first place).

Fitting the blind to the wall or window frame is called face fix. To fit the brackets, you should use a thin wood drill bit (if attaching it to the window frame), or if it is going on to the wall, use a masonry drill bit with wall plugs (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 with the blind hanging below, which is known as top fix.
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.

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. Allow the blind to drop into its locked position. The bracket needs to sit between the two collars, on the part coloured blue in the illustration. Once locked in place, the blind will need to be pushed up first if it is to be removed and then pushed towards the pin end for the spring to compress, allowing you to pull the mechanism end out.

Step 3

Finally, attach each of the child safety devices. The cord retainer should be at the maximum distance possible from the control mechanism, keeping the chain taut. 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.

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.

Technical Specifications

As with all our blinds, our double roller blinds are built to last and withstand the rigours of daily use. This means we use metal componentry where necessary, including for the barrels and brackets and chain.

We also offer the ability to go even wider with our double roller blinds. The maximum width is 3.4m and at this size the maximum drop is 1.85m. The reason for these limits is down to the square metreage of fabric and the effect this has on the components of the blind. Also, we’re limited by couriers as to the maximum size of items that we can send out to you, but a maximum width of 3.4m is plenty for most windows! On the other hand, with our minimum width being 650mm, our maximum drop can be up to 4.2m, meaning we’re able to happily shade those tall, thin windows that are often a struggle to cover. For a recess fit Double Roller Blind we will make a 2mm deduction to the given width to account for the brackets.

Our double roller blinds consist of two barrels with fabric attached, and they are fitted to one pair of brackets. The white metal brackets are 2mm thick and measure 120mm x 120mm and can be fitted with bracket covers (if selected at the time of ordering). The brackets can be both top fixed or face fixed. Occasionally, in times of stock shortages, we may temporarily swap to an alternative top fix-only bracket, and if this is a concern please get in touch to discuss whether or not your blind would be sent with this type of bracket.

The top front blackout fabric blind chain is right-hand controlled, with the lower back dimout/screen fabric blind being left-hand control. Each blind can be operated independently, and you’re able to raise one, lower the other, raise both or lower both. The chains are made from nickel and are a continuous loop.

Each blind comes with a white plastic bottom bar with the fabric wrapped around the front, forward-facing half, but not the back. If this is a specific requirement, please get in touch once your order has been placed.

Quick Turnaround

Child Safety

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 our roller blinds, which are an upgrade to remove the chain mechanism and replace it with a cordless means of operating the blind.

Our crank operated roller blind option replaces the chain with a detachable crank handle which 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 around child safety and our blinds, please do not hesitate to get in touch, we're always happy to help.

A blind from DotcomBlinds is made to the highest standards, designed to provide you with years of service and shade.

Obviously, there are a few exclusions:
✖ Damage caused by poor installation/not following fitting instructions (don’t worry, installation is easy, read this.)
✖ Misuse or Failing to maintain the blind
✖ General wear and tear and fading (these blinds are exposed to very intense UV rays)
✖ Alteration to the blind
✖ Exposure to the elements or fitted in an unsuitable location (these are indoor blinds!)

✔ Manufacturing defects

✔ 2 year warranty on battery and mains electric motors used in electric roller blinds

So, in summary, avoid grossly mistreating your blind, show it a little TLC every so often and don’t use it in ways it wasn’t intended. If you do all those things and something goes wrong with the blind, you’re golden – we’ve got you covered and we’ll and repair or replace it free of charge.
