Expectation setting: Avon is a daylight roller blind fabric designed for shading and light control. It lets light through the fabric and is not a blackout blind.

Avon roller blind overview

Avon is designed to roll up and down easily to achieve the required level of shading. It is positioned as a practical option for temperature control at the window and supporting energy savings, while maintaining daylight.

The supplied content also highlights handling benefits during fabrication: when cutting this dyed fabric, blades can last longer compared with coated fabric, due to the lack of dust created. Once cut, a dyed fabric will not have white edges, supporting a clean finish on completed blinds.

The Avon roller blind series is described as flame retardant and available in several colours to match a wide range of interior schemes.

Where this fits in our range

Choose Avon when you need a flame retardant daylight roller blind for shading and light control, with a straightforward chain-operated mechanism. If your project requires room darkening, specify a blackout roller blind fabric instead.

Best suited for
  • Office and workplace shading
  • Education environments requiring controlled daylight
  • Healthcare spaces where easy-clean blinds are preferred
  • General commercial interiors needing made-to-measure roller blinds

For specification-critical projects, use the Specifications tab for any available datasheets, certificates and care guidance.

Who uses Avon flame retardant roller blinds

Avon is commonly specified where straightforward shading blinds are required for commercial interiors, including offices and wider contract environments. The antibacterial and wipe-clean positioning makes it relevant where hygiene and maintenance are priorities, such as medical facilities and schools.

Chain-operated daylight roller blind

Designed to be rolled up or down to vary shading levels. As a daylight fabric, it allows light through rather than fully blocking out.

Made to measure for site requirements

Manufactured to your measurements for a neat, consistent finish across single windows or larger multi-window installations.

Further information on the roller blind mechanism

Strength and simplicity make the R20 a common choice across a wide range of applications. The choice of barrel size means the blind can be matched to the window size for optimum performance. Vandal resistant features include Slipstream® Technology, a friction-reducing approach that aids smooth action, with an air cooled design and double spring function. It provides enhanced hold, a longer lifespan of the blind and advanced chain loading. It has a metal control chain, and the fabric is locked into the barrel and bottom bar. It is installed using sturdy, stylish metal brackets.

Shading efficiency terminology (as shown in imagery)

Transmittance is the amount of light and heat transmitted beyond the fabric. The lower the amount, the greater the efficiency.

Block/reflect is the amount of heat and light that is blocked or reflected. The higher the amount, the greater the efficiency.

Absorption is the amount of heat and light absorbed in the fabric. The higher the amount, the lower the efficiency.

Ultraviolet protection illustrates how protective the fabric is against ultraviolet rays. The higher the amount, the greater the effectiveness.

Shading Co-efficiency is tested using a single 6mm glass glazing system with and without a blind to obtain solar heat gain measurements. The heat gained with a blind at the window is divided by the solar heat gained without a blind at the window, giving the Shading Co-Efficient. The lower the result the better the performance of the blind at blocking solar heat.

How to Measure For Curtains, Blinds and Tracks.



Pen and Paper

For recording your
measurements.

Helper

Someone to assist if your

rigid full length measurement.

We recommend fitting your hardware first before measuring, this avoids any issues with not getting the perfect fit.

 

Measure your window using our main guide. Quick summary below. Remember wave, pinch, and designer headings require slightly different measurement

Measure in 3 places and take the shortest drop – Floors and ceilings can run out.

Double / Triple check your measurements

how to measure for curtains



Choosing your Curtain Track Width

The width of the curtain track should extend past your window this allows for the curtains to stack back away from your window and allow light in.

Measure your recess and then add on 15cm on either side. For acoustics , we recommend further to fully cover the window and the surrounding area. In our test we added an additional 30cm to the width and also made the curtain floor length.

Wave curtains, for every 100cm of track the curtains will stack circa *18cm

Eyelet curtains, they will stack back circa 10cm per *70cm of track width

Pencil Pleat will stack approx 25% of the track width. eg. 210cm track will stack 52.5%

* all dependent on thickness of fabric



Selecting your Curtain Drop

How to Measure for Blinds going Inside the Recess

How to measure for blinds inside thet recess

  • Measure the exact width of the recess in three places; at the top of the recess, in the centre of the recess and near the bottom - then take the  smallest size.
  • Measure the exact drop of the recess in three places on the left hand side of the recess, in the centre of the recess and on the right hand side of the recess - then take the smallest size.
  • We will take one cm off the finished width size you have given us, to allow for the blind to pull up and down easily.
  • Double check your measurements
  • Cord Safety - Mounting Height - We ask for the mounting height of your blinds to allow for the cord to be 150cm off the ground. If mounting at 210cm This is what you enter in the Fitting height box. We make a deduction to ensure the cord is 150cm from the floor. Thus the cord loop will be 60cm

How to Measure Outside of the Recess


  • Measure the recess in 3 places on the width and also 3 places on the drop. Take the widest measurement.
  • Measure the width of the actual recess plus an additional amount – Usually from 7cm-15cm whatever you think looks appropriate. This is for overlap.
  • Measure the exact drop of the recess. The blind would be fitted above the recess, so check the space above and add an amount on to the drop – usually from 7-15cm
  • These sizes you have taken will be the size of the finished blind.

  • Double check your measurements
  • Cord Safety - Mounting Height - We ask for the mounting height of your blinds to allow for the cord to be 150cm off the ground. If mounting at 210cm This is what you enter in the fitting height box. We make a deduction to ensure the cord is 150cm from the floor. Thus the cord loop will be 60cm



Cubicle Tracks you have to measure with right angles from wall to wall where you want the track to go

Draw your room on a piece of paper with a sky view

Now measure from the wall to wall for straight tracks,

L Shape Tracks Measure to a point on the floor and mark with a piece of tape. Then for the other sides measure from the other wall to that point.

Always check for obstructions and fitting issues you may need to work around
