On the opposite end of our drives, you will find the Idler End, which is inserted into the blind tube. Our Idler ends have a special mechanism which you can rotate clockwise to remove the blind or rotate anti-clockwise to attach the blind to the bracket. This works by exposing and retracting the metal bar in the idler drive that slots into the end bracket, giving a secure fit and easy assembly every time.
Whether you prefer a forward direction roller blind or a backward direction roller blind, Tulip Blinds can manufacturer your blind to either specification that meets your needs. This applies to both our Chain Driven and Motorised Rapid Roller Blinds.
We offer a wide range of fabrics to choose from. We stock blind fabrics that are Transparent, Translucent, Fire Retardant, Blackout, or Screen. Our fabrics are available across 4 different price bands.
Price Band 1 — Our Transparent and Translucent Ranges.
Price Band 2 — Our Opaque, Fire Retardant and Blackout Ranges.
Fabric Options
At Tulip Blinds, we provide a range of Roller Blind Fabrics that best suit your needs. As with all roller blinds, light seepage can occur between the blind and the window frame, depending on the window and fittings used.
Below is a guide to help you choose the right fabric for your blind:
If you have any queries on any of our fabrics, please feel free to contact us.
We offer a choice of Aluminium Bottom Bar Rails that will beautifully compliment your colour scheme.
Choices include “Matte Black”, “Anodised”, “Anthracite” & “White”
You can also opt for our No-Sew Bottom Bar option, that allows the blind fabric to be encapsulated and wrapped around the bar.
End Caps are provided for each end of the bottom bar, and you can optionally choose from a select range of colours.
If you prefer not to use a Chain Driven, our motorised Rapid Roller Blinds will offer an elegant touch to the home. Available in a 12V Motor with Battery and 230V Electric Motor, our motorised blinds can calibrated to match your window size.
We use Brel Motors for their reliability and quality and offer a choice of motors that best suit your needs.
Should you need assistance on choosing motorised options before ordering, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We also provide a wide range of Brel Accessories for your motorised blind such as chargers, batteries, switches, remotes, hubs, light emitters, solar panels, cables and more. Our Accessories come paired or are compatible with your motorised blind.
