With Excel's double roller blinds, two blinds can be housed neatly in one cassette and you no longer have to choose between light diffusion or light blockout.
Why not have both?— this is a clever, stylish solution that gives you ultimate flexibility in one seamless system. These blinds are all about smart functionality wrapped in sleek design and the hidden hardware adds to the clean, minimalist look that’s trending hard right now.
Whether you're designing a calm, minimalist bedroom retreat or a layered, textural living or dining space, double roller blinds are fast becoming a go-to feature for stylish interiors to maximise light options combining both form and function in home design.
Standard double roller blinds come with two separate chain mechanisms on your chosen side for operation, however both remote control and hardwired options are available for the ultimate ease of use.
The cassette system keeps everything streamlined and compact, with both blinds operating independently. This means you can fine-tune light and privacy levels throughout the day without the visual bulk of multiple brackets or added soft furnishings around the window frame.
Typically, double rollers are requested and made with a sheer or light filtering fabric coupled with a blockout fabric. One of the bonuses of this from a home design point of view is that you no longer have to choose between texture and pattern as these can be combined in the cassette for a style switch up with two different looks.
Choose your sheer fabric or voile roller blind for gentle shade with subtle light diffusion while you still enjoy the natural light of day, and couple it with a matching or contrasting blockout for ideal for privacy and sleep-friendly darkness at night.

Play with colour, texture, and mood. Neutrals are still a go-to for modern minimalists looking for earthy tactility, for that softer touch choose a fabric pairing that allows for a layered tonal look — think a creamy sheer or natural linen, woven look screen paired with a soft latte-toned blockout.
For those loving the bold pattern comeback moments from striking tropical florals, to traditional cottage vibes and back in time to bright retro patterns we carry a range of designs for everyone, in warm clay tones, deep moody blues and forest greens — all rich, on trend shades that pair beautifully with our full sheer range.
Or, go high contrast for a striking architectural feel: a crisp white day blind with a plain or velvet finish inky black night layer.

Beyond aesthetics, double roller blinds bring serious energy-saving benefits to the table. During summer, the blockout layer acts as a thermal shield, reducing heat gain and helping to keep your home cool. In winter, it helps to retain warmth, cutting down on the need for constant heating. Pair this with strategic use of the light-filtering layer, and you can harness natural daylight while keeping harsh glare and UV rays out.
This smart light control can help reduce reliance on air conditioning and artificial lighting, which not only trims your energy bills but also reduces your home's environmental footprint.

Sustainability is no longer a bonus — it’s a must-have. Luckily, most of our fabrics available for double roller blind systems are now made from recycled materials, these eco-conscious fabrics offer a wide range of textures, opacities, and colourways, so you can align your style choices with your environmental values. From organic-looking weaves to sleek, modern finishes, there's no compromise on aesthetics when you go green.
