Roman Blinds

Tinsmiths Roman Blinds can be made in most cotton or linen fabrics, are blackout interlined to give a firm structure and then lined conventionally. The blinds are strung and fixed to a simple wooden batton which is then mounted inside a window recess or above and across the window aperture.

Rod pockets are machined into the lining so that there is no stitching on the front of the blind. The maximum workable width for this system is 175cm, beyond this a more sophisticated raising and lowering system is required, please enquire.

To measure for Roman Blinds record the finished width and length and if fitting inside a window recess (FIG 1.), measure the width at several points (walls aren’t always straight), give the narrowest less 1cm for clearance.

If fitting outside the window recess (FIG 2.) add a margin all around (usually 10cm to the width and 15cm to the drop).
