How do Double Roller Blinds Work?

Double roller blinds feature dual brackets that allow you to stack two different fabrics on a single window. One layer provides privacy and light filtering, while the other offers blackout. You can choose which layer to lower, depending on your lighting and privacy needs, making double roller blinds a stylish and functional choice for any space.

Tools You'll Need

Two brackets will be included in the box with your roller blinds. Screws do not come with your roller blinds; this is because the type of screws required depends on the surface you are fitting the brackets to. You need 4mm screws, suitable for the surface. You'll also need a screw driver, drill, steel tape measure and pencil.
