This double roller blind is made using Catania Tangerine and Bosa Tangerine fabrics. Catania 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.

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 them 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; 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!

Looking to customise your chain type or colour? We've got you:

Bottom Bar
As standard, this roller blinds come with a colour-matched aluminium teardrop bottom bar, as detailed in the product description. This fine-tuning option allows you to change this to an aluminium teardrop-shaped bottom bar in white, silver or black or an aluminium round-shaped bottom bar in white or silver. Alternatively, you can select a fully wrapped fabric bottom bar where the fabric is shown front and back. Aluminium bottom bars are not fabric-covered.
Default Teardrop
White Aluminium Round
Silver Aluminium Round
Fully Fabric Wrapped
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.

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.
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. |
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. For recess and exact fit double roller blinds, the fabric will be 4cm less than the given width since we need to then add on the brackets, mechanisms and pin ends to make the blind up to the full given width. You do not need to account for this in your measurements.
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 or 144mm x 144mm for wider blinds. The reason for the two sizes of brackets is due to the barrel diameter increasing for larger blinds, to support the weight of the fabric. As such, we need larger brackets to hold the larger barrels. Bracket covers are available for the smaller brackets but not the larger brackets. The brackets can be both top-fixed or face fixed.
The top front blackout fabric blind chain is right-hand controlled, with the lower back dimout/screen fabric blind being left-hand controlled. 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.

With our Right-Size Guarantee we will take that one blind back, remake it to the correct size for you and send it back, saving you from having to buy a totally new blind! The Right Size Guarantee covers all made-to-measure blinds and curtains except our Cassette Blinds.

With our fast free fabric sample delivery, you’ll be one step closer to shading your home with some of our fabulous blinds in no time at all!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.
3 Year Warranty
A blind from DotcomBlinds is made to the highest standards, designed to provide you with years of service and shade.
In fact, we’re so confident and proud of our blinds, we offer a 3 year warranty on all our blinds. This is one of the longest warranties available and a clear sign of the quality of our blinds.
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
✔ Fabric/slat colour fading within a year
✔ Mechanical malfunction
✔ 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.
This blind features a “Wipe Clean” fabric, which is super easy to clean and perfect for busy households; simply wipe over with a dry cloth to remove dust and any debris or use a damp cloth to remove stains. Ideal for homes with kids or areas close to food preparation (including use around the kitchen sink).
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 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.
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 dimout fabric, which will provide shade to a room without completely blocking out exterior light; helping to create a bright but shaded space. Dimout fabrics are ideal for living spaces in your home, filtering exterior light to provide shade and reduce glare while keeping the space bright during the day.
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.
