A roller blind is a single piece of fabric on a tube that rolls up out of the way. Factory Fit measures, supplies and installs roller blinds in blockout and light-filtering fabrics across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Logan, with chain or motorised control. They suit almost any window or sliding door, and they are the easiest blind to add to a screen measure.

What a roller blind does well

  • Light control that matches the room

    A blockout fabric makes a bedroom dark at 6am in January. A light-filtering fabric keeps a living room bright without the glare on the TV.

  • Clean lines on any window

    One flat panel of fabric, rolled tight against the window when open. No slats to dust, no folds to fuss with.

  • Simple to live with

    A chain or a motor, that is the whole interface. Easy to wipe, easy to replace a single blind years later without redoing the room.

Blockout, light-filtering or both

Blockout fabric stops light passing through, so it is the answer for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms, and it takes a good share of the heat with it. Light-filtering fabric softens the sun and keeps daytime privacy, but with the lights on at night you will show as a silhouette. If a room needs both, a dual roller puts a blockout and a light-filtering blind on one bracket so you can run either. We will tell you which rooms actually need the dual and which do not.

Available upgrades for roller blinds

Start with a chain-operated blind and add what the room needs. Each of these applies to roller blinds; not all of them apply to every fabric. Motorisation is an upgrade on this page, not a separate product.

  • Motorised roller blind with remote, battery, plug-in and smart-home control options

    Motorised operation

    Optional

    A motor in the tube and a remote instead of a chain. Battery for an existing home (no electrician), mains for a new build or renovation where the electrician is already on site, and app or voice control where the motor supports it; ask whether the motor we quote works with Google Home or Alexa before you rely on it.

  • Dual roller blind with sheer and blockout fabrics on one bracket

    Dual roller

    Optional

    Blockout and light-filtering on one bracket. Two blinds, one window, no compromise.

  • Roller blind with a cassette headbox lowered over a poolside patio

    Cassette or fascia

    Optional

    A headbox that hides the rolled fabric for a tidier top edge.

  • Toddler reaching for a roller blind chain held taut by a child-safe tensioner

    Child-safe chain tensioner

    Included

    Every chain is anchored so it cannot form a loop within reach. Not an extra, just how we fit them.

Colours and fabrics

Neutrals do most of the work in roller blinds: whites, stones, greys and charcoals that sit quietly next to black or white screen frames. We bring the swatch books to the measure so you can hold them in your own light.

Warranty summary

Roller blinds carry 2 years on fabric and 3 years on the tube, tracks and mechanisms. Full terms and how to claim are on the warranty page.

Roller blinds questions

Blockout or light-filtering, which do I need?

Blockout for any room where you sleep or watch a screen; light-filtering for rooms where you want daylight and daytime privacy. Light-filtering fabric shows silhouettes at night when the lights are on, so it is a poor choice on its own for a bedroom facing the street. If a room does both jobs, a dual roller gives you a blockout and a light-filtering blind on one bracket.

Can I add a motor to my roller blinds later?

In many cases, yes, if the blind was set up for it at the start. Tell us at the measure that a motor is possible later and we will quote a tube and bracket that accept one. Battery motors are the normal retrofit because no electrician is needed. Mains-powered motors are better planned during a build.

Are roller blinds safe around young children?

Yes, when they are fitted correctly. Corded internal window coverings in Australia must be installed to a mandatory safety standard, and every chain we fit is anchored with a tensioner or guide so it cannot form a loop within a child's reach. Motorised blinds remove the chain altogether, which is one reason parents choose them for nurseries.

Are roller blinds a good choice for a rental?

They are the most common blind in rentals for a reason. They are hard-wearing, easy to wipe, and if one is damaged we can replace that single blind without touching the rest of the room. Neutral colours keep the property easy to let, and a consistent specification across your properties makes future replacements simple.

Can roller blinds cover a wide sliding door?

Up to a point. Roller blinds have a maximum width set by the tube and fabric, and very wide blinds get heavy and can bow. For sliding, stacker and bi-fold doors we usually suggest a panel glide, which stacks fabric panels to the side and is easier to walk through. We will measure the opening and recommend whichever works.

Do roller blinds reduce heat as well as light?

Blockout fabrics reduce heat transfer noticeably because they stop sunlight reaching the room, and any blind fitted close to the glass helps more than one hung well in front of it. They are not a substitute for insulation or tinting, but in a west-facing living room the difference on a summer afternoon is real. We can point you to the fabrics that perform best for heat once the range is confirmed.

Can I have the chain on a particular side?

Yes. Chain side is chosen at the measure and we will suggest the side that keeps the chain away from door handles, furniture and the path you walk. If the room has a pair of windows, matching chain sides on the outer edges usually looks tidiest.

Do you have a showroom, or do you bring samples?

There is no showroom. We bring the swatch books to the measure so you can hold the fabrics against your wall in your own light, which is more useful than a display in a shop. If you want to shortlist first, the colours page shows the families of fabric we carry.
