Can Roman blinds be motorised for smart home use?

Yes, we specialise in motorised Roman blinds that integrate with smart home systems like Alexa and Google Home. This is an ideal solution for large or hard-to-reach windows in Hertfordshire homes, providing effortless light control and enhanced child safety by removing manual chains.

Why should I choose bespoke Roman blinds over ready-made options?

Bespoke Roman blinds offer a precise fit that eliminates light gaps common in standard off-the-shelf sizes. At Unidrape in Welwyn Garden City, our handmade Roman blinds use premium linings for better insulation and a more luxurious 'stack' when raised, ensuring longevity that ready-made alternatives can't match.

What does "Waterfall Heading" mean?

When roman blinds are open, the fabric folds stack at the top of the window. A "Flat" or "Stacked" heading has all the folds lined up at the same height, one in front of the other. A "Waterfall" heading has a graduated stack, meaning that each fold sits below the previous one. This dresses a window more dramatically, and prevents the blind from forming a wedge at the bottom.

Do you have a large selection of fabrics for Roman Blinds?

We certainly do! Roman blinds are made from the same types of fabric as curtains, so we can install a mix of both in a room if the windows and layout suit this better. Our selection and knowledge of these fabrics is extensive, so it's probably worth visiting our Welwyn Garden City showroom to view them and get expert advice.
