Roman Blind Twill

Our Roman blinds are made to measure. Enter the required width and height and we will take care of the rest. There is no need to make any deductions, as we will calculate these for you.

Please note: Before you start measuring, check for any obstructions such as door or window handles that protrude, radiator pipes, or inward opening doors and windows. For inward-opening windows and doors, also take the stack height of the Roman blind into account.

View our measuring instructions.

1. Option A: Measuring for installation inside the recess
   

   Measure the width of the recess in three places: at the top, in the middle and at the bottom. Enter the smallest width measurement. We will deduct 1 cm to ensure the Roman blind fits neatly inside the recess. You do not need to make any deductions yourself.

   Measure the height of the recess in three places: on the left, in the centre and on the right. Enter the shortest height measurement. We will deduct 0.5 cm to ensure the Roman blind moves freely. You do not need to make any deductions yourself.

2. Option B: Measuring for installation outside the recess
   

   Measure the required width and height of your Roman blind. Decide how much you would like the blind to overlap the recess on each side, as well as at the top and bottom.

The colour of the lining determines how the back of your curtain will look. This is especially noticeable from outside, for example from the street or from the garden.

Choose a colour that complements your window frames and the exterior of your home, or the look you would like to create from the outside. This way, your window decoration will look neat and well finished from both inside and outside your home.

Not sure which combination works best? Order free colour samples of both the curtain fabric and the lining. By placing the samples next to and behind one another at home, you can immediately see how the colours and materials work together.

You can choose to install your roman blind inside or outside the recess:

Inside the recess

When you install the roman blind inside the recess, it is fitted between the walls of the window recess. For this option, we automatically deduct 1 cm from the width and 0.5 cm from the height, so the roman blind fits neatly inside the recess.

Outside the recess

When you install the roman blind outside the recess, it is fitted to the wall or window frame. The roman blind will cover the window recess, with an overlap on both sides. No deductions are applied for this option.

By choosing a motor side, you decide on which side you would like to operate and charge your Smartblinds. If you choose the left side, the motor and charging port will be on the left-hand side of the product. For the large system size, the pull control will also be on this side. Would you like everything to be on the right-hand side? Then choose right.

Battens ensure that the Roman blind folds neatly and evenly. You can choose whether the battens are placed at the back or front of the Roman blind.

Battens at the back

The battens are positioned at the back, making them less visible from the front. This creates a clean and streamlined look, allowing the fabric to take centre stage.

Battens at the front

With battens at the front, the horizontal lines are visible on the front of the Roman blind. This creates a more decorative look and emphasises the folds of the Roman blind.

The images show the product with the battens on the front.

With clamp mounts, you can easily fit your window covering to a uPVC window frame without having to drill or use screws. The clamp mounts are clamped onto the frame and provide a secure fixing.

This is an ideal solution if you do not want to, or are not allowed to, drill into the frame, for example with uPVC window frames or in a rented property. This allows you to install your window covering neatly without causing any lasting damage to the frame.

At Smartblinds, you have the choice between 2 different motors. Read about the differences below, so you know which motor to choose.

Motionblinds Bluetooth motor

Operation possible via:

• Pull cord (only for large system size)

• Remote control (can be added as an optional accessory)

• MotionBlinds Bluetooth app

  With the Motionblinds Bluetooth app, you can control Smartblinds indoors. In addition, you can set timers in the app when your blinds automatically move, regardless of whether you are at home or not.

• To connect to a home automation system (e.g. Homey, IFTTT or Home Assistant), we recommend you choose the Motionblinds Bluetooth Motor and connect it to your home automation system via a Motionblinds Wi-Fi bridge.

Eve Motionblinds Matter motor

Operation possible via:

• Pull cord (only for large system size)

• Remote control (can be added as an optional accessory)

• Linking to your smart home

  The Eve Motionblinds Matter motor allows you to link your Smartblinds directly to your favourite smart home platform. This allows you to control your Smartblinds anywhere, anytime, set timers and add your Smartblinds to automations and scenes with other smart home devices. To connect to your smart home platform, you do need a smart hub that supports the Matter protocol.

Would you like to control your Smartblinds with a remote control? Simply add one to your order!

With one remote control, you can operate 5 to 15 different scenes. You can link multiple products to the same channel, allowing them to be controlled simultaneously.

5-Channel Remote Control

Choose this option if you want to set up to 5 scenes to control with the remote.

15-Channel Remote Control

Choose this option if you want to set many scenes to control with the remote.

Here you can fill in a reference for your assembled blind. That way you will soon know exactly which product is for which window in your house!

When you are looking for window coverings, it is important to determine beforehand what transparency you want in certain rooms. In bedrooms, for example, more blackout is usual than in the living room. Smartblinds fabrics can be divided into three different transparencies:

Blackout

Opacity: none - Light from outside is completely blocked and has no possibility to illuminate rooms.

Light filtering

Opacity: limited - Light from outside is obstructed, but not completely blocked.

Sheer

Opacity: full - Light from outside finds its way in, but the fabric offers the desired privacy.

Your blinds should, of course, match your interior. The colour and look of fabrics and materials can sometimes differ from reality from a screen or due to differences in light transmission. We therefore always recommend requesting free fabric samples in advance, so you can assess the fabric (colour) in real life!

A lining affects both the look and functionality of your Roman blind or curtain. It can help make the fabric appear fuller, improve insulation and allow you to better tailor the amount of light entering your room.

No lining

A good choice if you mainly want to preserve the appearance of the fabric and do not need extra insulation or blackout properties.

Light-filtering lining

Ideal if you would like extra insulation while still allowing natural light into your home. This lining also gives the Roman blind or curtain a more beautiful, fuller finish.

Blackout lining

The best choice for rooms where you want more privacy, insulation and blackout effect. Perfect, for example, for the bedroom or a room where bright light is unwanted.

Not sure which lining will suit best? Simply order free colour samples of both the Roman blind or curtain fabric and the lining. By placing the samples behind one another at home, you can immediately see how the combination will look in your interior.

A single pleat is a clean, modern curtain style where the fabric is gathered into a single fold at regular intervals. This creates a neat, understated look with the fabric evenly distributed across the curtain.

• Clean, modern look
• Creates less fullness
• Suitable for lightweight to medium-weight fabrics
• Hangs neatly with a clean finish

A double pleat uses two folds at each curtain hook, giving the curtain more fullness and a richer, more luxurious look than a single pleat.

• Fuller, more luxurious look
• Creates a beautiful, even drape
• Suitable for almost all curtain fabrics
• A popular choice for living rooms and bedrooms

Wave curtains use a specially designed track and gliders to create smooth, even waves in the fabric. The waves run evenly across the full width of the curtain, creating a clean and contemporary look.

• Modern and elegant look
• Smooth, even waves
• Ideal for large windows
• Looks stylish both open and closed

Please note: Wave curtains require a special wave track to create their distinctive, even folds.

For the roller system of your blind, Smartblinds offers you a choice of two different types:

Brackets

Cassette
