Roller blinds offer a great balance of practicality and style
When it comes to blinds for your kitchen, you’ll want ones that are easy to clean and moisture resistant. You don’t want food, grease or mould building up on your blinds.

We offer PVC roller blinds that are moisture resistant, ensuring mould won’t hold start growing on them and helping to reduce damage from the damp and humidity in your kitchen. Another solution we offer is washable fabrics with protective coatings. Ultrafresh, for example, have fabrics with a coating that stops moisture penetrating the fabric. You don’t have to choose between practicality or aesthetic either, as Ultrafresh have these protected fabrics in both plain and patterned designs.
Roller blinds are also easier to fit and style to any window than other kinds of blind. We offer a range of colours and designs. Our experts can show you samples of the various styles we offer during your free home appointment.

Things to bear in mind when choosing your window dressing
While we provide moisture and fungal resistant options for all kinds of blind, roller blinds and venetian blinds are the easiest to clean and best for preventing moisture build-up. Moisture can get trapped in the pockets created by roman blinds, for example.
Fabric materials will always be more vulnerable to moisture and flames than our wood or metal options. That’s something to keep in mind if you have a particularly moisture-prone kitchen.
You don’t need to worry about our wood blinds warping as they are made of the highest-quality material to withstand the harsh environment of the kitchen. We would say metal blinds are the more resistant option for the long term.
