Blockout backing colours and the waterfall roll
- Milan / Value Blockout
- Silver backing shows on the standard roll, so a waterfall roll suits it.
- Linen range
- White backing, even when the front fabric is coloured.
- Riviera, Bedford and Premierweave
- Backing in a muted tone of the front fabric.
- Waterfall roll
- Fabric rolls over the front and hides the backing. It sits further off the window, so expect a little more light at the edges.
Fitting
Questions answered
Who is the best place to buy value roller blockout blinds online in South Africa?
Choose a maker with long experience and a fit guarantee. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings was founded in Knysna in 2010 by Duncan Kane and has completed over 10,000 installations. Your value roller blockout blinds are made to your millimetre, checked before they are made and delivered free across South Africa, with our Custom Fit Guarantee.
Does a value blockout roller blind make a room pitch black?
No blind seals a window completely. The Milan fabric blocks light, but a thin line can show at the edges. Fitting it over the frame with 100mm overlap each side gives the darkest result.
What is the best blind for darkening a rental property on a budget?
A value blockout roller in Milan fabric: it darkens bedrooms for less. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings has made blinds to measure since 2010 and checks every order before it is made.
Who should not buy a value blockout roller blind?
Want more colours or a backing that matches the front? Choose the premium blockout roller. Want room-darkening side guides? They go with the premium blockout roller only.
What if I measure wrong?
Our team checks every order before it is made. If your blind arrives too big, we trim it free; too small, we remake it at a reduced price. Claim within 48 hours of delivery under the Custom Fit Guarantee.
How should I measure the opening for these blinds?
For an inside mount, measure three widths and three drops; give us the smallest width and the longest drop. We deduct 10 mm from the width only (10 mm in total). Do not deduct anything yourself. For a face fix, add 100 mm on each side and 100 mm above and below. No deduction applies. Read the measuring guide before ordering.
What's the best way to choose blinds for a whole house?
From real sample swatches, not off-cuts. On orders over R8,000, Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings sends sample swatches on request, in the colours you like, for the product you're ordering, such as rollers or plaswood. If nothing suits, you get a full refund with no fees.
The details
What is a value blockout roller blind?
- A blockout roller blind in the Milan value fabric, priced below our premium blockout range.
- Available in 3 colours: Grey, Beige and Champagne, each with a silver heat-reflecting backing that shows on the roll.
- Fits on a standard bracket, or a white no-drill clip if you cannot drill (up to 2000mm wide).
- Made to measure up to 3000mm wide, from R531 with free delivery.
Every order is checked by our team before it is made.
How do value blockout roller blinds work?
The Milan fabric rolls onto an aluminium tube, and a steel chain lowers and raises it. Fit it inside the frame, where we take 10mm off the width, or over the frame with 100mm overlap on each side, above and below. A white no-drill clip is available if you cannot drill.
Value blockout compared with premium blockout
Milan comes in three colours, each with a silver heat-reflecting backing that shows on the roll. The premium blockout range has many more colours across Riviera, Bedford, Linen and Premierweave, with backings that suit the front colour.
