Double roller blinds (also called dual roller blinds) combine a sunscreen or light filter roller blind with a blockout roller for a full range of light control. The light filter or sunscreen blind lets in light without the glare and protects your furniture and flooring from UV damage, while the blockout blind can be used for full privacy and dark at night. Dual roller blinds provide the ultimate flexibility any time of day and are perfect for bedrooms and living areas alike. There’s even the option of motorisation for easy and safe operation.

Features & benefits
Protect your furnishings
In rooms that get a lot of harsh sunlight, a sunscreen roller blind will be the better choice than the light filtering blind. The sunscreen blind includes extra protection from up to 95% of UV rays that can fade and damage furniture and furnishings.
Inside or outside mount
Fitting your blinds inside the window frame offers the cleanest look, but your window recess needs to be deep enough. Fitting the blind outside and just above the frame is practical and flexible, suiting just about any window.
Front or back roll
This refers to the direction the blind comes off the roll – either from the front or the back. A back roll creates a tighter ‘seal’ against the window. A front roll could be more aesthetically pleasing as it hides the componentry better but leaves a gap for sunlight to creep through; best for an inside mount.
