Frequently Asked Questions

How does a roman blind differ mechanically from a roller blind?

A roman blind folds into soft horizontal pleats as it is raised, using cords or a chain through rear rings, rather than rolling onto a single tube, which gives a fabric-forward, more tailored look than a roller.

Are roman blinds harder to clean than roller blinds?

Generally yes, because the folded fabric and rear cording collect more dust in the pleats than a flat roller surface, so roman blinds typically need more frequent vacuuming with a soft brush attachment.

Can a roman blind be lined for blackout or thermal performance?

Yes, roman blinds are commonly lined with a blackout or interlining layer, which also helps the pleats hold their shape better than an unlined fabric.

Do roman blinds work well on very wide windows?

Wide windows are usually better served by splitting the roman blind into two or more panels operated together, since a single very wide panel becomes heavy and can pull unevenly on its cords over time.

Is a roman blind a good choice for a kitchen given grease and moisture?

A wipeable or treated fabric works better than a delicate natural weave in a kitchen setting, so ask Stråla for a moisture and stain-resistant fabric option if you are fitting roman blinds near a hob or sink.
