TRANSFORMING YOUR EXISTING MADE TO MEASURE ROLLER BLINDS

______________________________

If you’ve decided to redecorate, you might be wondering if you can recover your roller blinds rather than replacing the entire blind and its mechanisms.

Of course, by extending the life of your blinds through fabric replacement, you're reducing waste and conserving resources but it can also be a great way to update your home decor regularly. Especially when you have made the investment in a high quality made to measure blind system in  like our Louvolite cassette or Eclipse Senses options.

The lifecycle of roller blinds would typically involve replacing the entire unit once the fabric becomes worn, outdated, or faded which can contribute to increased waste in landfills. Re-covering offers a sustainable alternative by allowing you to keep the existing hardware and replace only the fabric, extending the life of your blinds and reducing waste.

Furthermore, choosing greener fabric alternatives such as fabrics that are certified organic, sustainably sourced, or made from recycled materials helps you minimise your environmental footprint.

We wouldn’t recommend attempting to recover your blinds yourself without fabric knowledge and cutting equipment to ensure a clean straight cut. Soft fabrics for example, are not suitable for roller blinds and edges cut with scissors will have a tendency to fray with just a short time of use.

Your local made to measure blind retailer may be able to take down your existing blind, assist you with choosing a new fabric that suits your style and is also compatible with roller blind systems. They will also ensure it's ordered with the right width and drop size for your blinds and can recover it for you with a fairly quick turnaround.
