Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can. Roller blinds are a popular choice for bathrooms, especially waterproof designs. Waterproof roller blinds are designed to withstand humidity and moisture and are treated to resist the growth of mould and mildew. So, they’re ideally suited to bathrooms. They’re made of either hardwearing PVC or vinyl and are available in a wide range of stylish colours and patterns.
PVC blackout roller blinds are highly effective at blocking light. PVC is a thick, opaque material that doesn’t allow light to pass through. When hung correctly, they will block out most of the light. There will be some light leakage around the sides of the blind, but they will significantly darken the room and ensure privacy.
The best blinds for your bathroom will depend on humidity levels and how likely they are to get wet. For bathrooms prone to high moisture or where the blinds will have direct contact with water, vinyl and PVC waterproof roller blinds, or faux-wood blinds are ideal due to their water resistance. In less humid or well-ventilated bathrooms, aluminium Venetian blinds or moisture-resistant polyester roller blinds can be suitable options. Consider factors like ventilation, window distance from water sources, and desired aesthetic to determine the best blinds for your specific needs.

Yes. The fabric of waterproof roller blinds is made from non-porous materials like PVC and vinyl, which do not absorb water and significantly resist the growth of mould and mildew, which thrive in damp. They are a much more hygienic choice for high-humidity areas. All of our high-quality waterproof blinds are additionally treated for maximum resistance to mould and mildew.
Blinds made from materials that are 100% impervious to water, that won't absorb moisture, warp, or grow mould are the best choice for wet areas such as shower enclosures. Waterproof PVC and Vinyl Roller Blinds with their single, smooth sheet of fabric allow water to simply run off or be wiped off, and they come with a blackout lining for complete privacy.
Alternatively, Faux Wood Venetian Blinds offer the stylish look of natural wood, but as they’re made from high-quality PVC, they’re 100% resistant to humidity and ideal for precise light and privacy control. For a sleek, modern look, Aluminium Venetian blinds are inherently water and rust-resistant and highly durable in wet conditions.
For larger windows, PVC Vertical Blinds are a good choice. Their waterproof vertical slats are easy to wipe, and encourage water run-off, whilst giving you flexible light control.
