Expectation setting: This is a blackout roller blind fabric intended for high light exclusion. It is not a sheer. Colour perception can vary with lighting, surrounding finishes and the level of backlight.
Why specify Arrow blackout wipeable roller blind fabric
Arrow is designed for applications where durability and cleanability are as important as light control. The supplied specification states a 4-ply construction with PVC and fibreglass, finished with a PVC coating for easy cleaning.
The source content also states Arrow incorporates Biosafe® antibacterial control and is suitable for environments where wipe-down hygiene is required, including hospitals and care homes.
For compliance-led projects, the fire performance is listed as conforming to BS5867 (see the specification tab for documents and certificates where provided).
Best suited for
- Blackout roller blinds where high light exclusion is required
- Healthcare and care environments needing wipe-clean surfaces and antibacterial control
- Computer environments where shading is specified as blackout
- Moist conditions where moisture resistance is required (as stated in the supplied spec)
Where this fits in our range
Arrow sits within our wipeable blackout roller blind options for contract environments. Choose it where you need blackout shading with a cleanable PVC-coated surface and a listed antibacterial control. If blackout or wipe-clean performance is not required, consider standard blind fabrics for a different specification balance.
Certificates, stated standards and care guidance (where provided) are available in the specification tab.
Who uses Arrow FR wipeable blackout roller blind fabric
Arrow is commonly specified where blackout shading and wipe-down maintenance are required, including healthcare and care settings. The supplied content also references suitability for computer environments and moist conditions.
It is a practical choice for contract installations where reducing joins can support speed of fabrication and minimise wastage (width options listed in the specification).
Contract clarification
For projects requiring documented fire performance, confirm the stated standard in the specification tab and retain paperwork with site O&M files. If your application has additional infection control, cleaning, or chemical resistance requirements, validate suitability against your site policy before ordering.

All the products I have had from this firm have been great and arrived in good conditionAll the products I have had from this firm have been great and arrived in good condition and within a very short space of time. The only problem I have had was with regard to the length of the chain - a length is automatically deducted for child safety but if you are short and have to reach over a work surface it is a bit impractical so you need to make sure you know the full length of the chain you need and prevent any misunderstanding as to whether you need an extra 80 cm added or the chain is to be just 80 cm. The company was very willing to put matters right however for a small fee.0 people found this helpful

How to Measure For Curtains, Blinds and Tracks.
Pen and Paper
For recording your
measurements.
Helper
Someone to assist if your
windows are large .
Metal Tape Measure
As this will allow you to get a
rigid full length measurement.
Make sure your curtain tracks and poles are fitted in the position you want.
Choose the type of curtains that you would like and how you want to hang your curtains. See our heading styles guide
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
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

Same but make sure wider than normal ideally 30cm past either side and 30 above. Also to the floor. |
How to Measure for Blinds going Inside the 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
