Choosing the Right Roller Size for Your Day Blinds

Why Roller Size Matters

Choosing the right roller size for your day blinds helps the blind fit and operate correctly. The roller is the tube that supports the blind fabric, so wider blinds need a roller size that can handle the required width. Using the correct roller size also helps avoid confusion when ordering custom day blinds.

Start With the Minimum Blind Size

The minimum size for day blinds is 500mm. This means your blind should not be smaller than 500mm when using this guide. Before choosing a roller, measure the full blind width carefully and check it against the size chart.

Roller Size Guide by Width

For day blinds up to 1300mm wide, a 48mm roller may be suitable. For blinds up to 1700mm wide, choose a 58mm roller. For blinds up to 2400mm wide, a 68mm roller is the appropriate option. These sizes are commonly used for smaller to medium-width windows.

Larger Day Blind Roller Options

For wider day blinds, larger rollers are required. An 88mm roller can support blinds up to 4000mm wide, while a 98mm roller can support blinds up to 5000mm wide. These larger roller options are useful for wide windows, large openings, or sliding door areas where extra width is needed.

Check the Maximum Height

Width is not the only measurement to check. If you are using a 98mm roller, the maximum blind height is 3200mm. This is important for tall windows or large glass doors, as a blind may fit the width requirement but still exceed the recommended height limit.

Final Measurement Advice

To choose the right roller size, measure your day blind width first, then select the smallest roller size that supports that width. If your blind is very wide, very tall, or close to the maximum size limit, it is best to confirm your measurements before ordering. This helps ensure your day blinds are made to the right size and suitable roller specification.
