ROMAN BLINDS IN LEEDS & WAKEFIELD
Roman Blinds are made from fabric and open using a chain or cord mechanism. The fabric stacks up evenly when being opened, and when fully open appear smooth, clear and without dents. They add style, sophistication and elegance to the room, making it seem welcoming and comfortable. Roman blinds are made using a fabric which is designed to pleat when the blinds are raised, which is how it stacks evenly. The blinds use mounting slats that are connected to cords, which are pulled together when the blind is lifted, forcing the blind to fold into the signature pleats. There are a range of different fabrics that can be used for Roman blinds. From silk and cotton to linen and synthetic fabrics, there are a wide range of different fabrics available for use to be designed as Roman blinds.
