Roller Blinds
A roller blind is a length of fabric on a roller mechanism that can be adjusted to different heights. It is an economical way to control privacy and glare.
Due to many advances over the last few years, the humble Roller (Holland) Blind is experiencing a renaissance.
Firstly, there have been many advances in fabrics, from light filtering, blockout and through to a wide range of screen fabric. The light filtering fabrics allow light to filter through, while protecting from the sun and offering privacy. The blockout fabrics offer room darkening and a great for bedrooms. The screen fabric allow you to enjoy the outside view, while being offered great protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
Secondly, there is a vast array of component options, from the simple spring loaded blind with a scallop, chain driven blinds with colour coded brackets and base bars, Spring Assist link systems, double blinds (incorporating Sunscreen for days and blockout Rollers for night), Cassettes, Cassette and Side Channel, Wire Guide and motorised options
These advances, as well as the fact that many roller fabrics can be matched to Verticals, Romans and Panel Glides, makes it easy to see why Rollers are so appealing, both functionally and decoratively. Rollers have never looked more appealing, so, with such a wide range, with so many options and configurations available, Apollo has a Roller Blind system to suit almost any budget and requirement .

- Double Blinds: Apollo’s Double Blind System allows you to couple two different fabrics within the one window system. This offers you the ability to couple both a Suncreen and blockout in the one window, affording you view, light control and total night time privacy within the one system
- Link System: Ideal for large windows where coverage is beyond the size limitations of fabrics. The Apollo Link system allows to linking and operating of up to 3 blinds with one control system. The Link system is also ideal for sliding doors where 3 blinds are required. Linking 2 blinds eliminates the need for a chain drive mechanism in middle of window. The Link system reduces the gap between fabrics from 28mm down to 20mm. The Apollo Dummy Link System allows two blinds to be linked using a common centre bracket, thus reducing the gap between fabric of both blinds, while allowing independent controls.

The cassette system is available in 4 colours, Snow White, White Birch, Silver Grey and Black.. The Cassette system allows two control mechanism, one left and one right. That means you could have either 2 individual blinds, two pair of link blinds or three blinds with a link pair and one individual blind

- Wire Guide: With the Apollo Wire Guide System your roller is stabilised because the bottom rail is attached to stainless steel wire as the blind rolls up and down. This means that your roller blind is not as affected by breeze from open windows and remains stable in any position.
