The Home Of Interiors Side by Side Roller Blinds – Balanced Light Gaps
Side by side roller blinds offer a great solution for blinds covering large expanses of glazing, including blinds across bi-fold and sliding doors. The manufacturer who we have partnered with to make our bespoke made to measure roller blinds has developed a bracket for side by side blinds that delivers a balanced light gap throughout the full run of your blinds. The unique bracket system ensures an even light gap in between your blinds; in addition you can centre the light gap to suit your requirements. The bracket also delivers a smaller light gap of 20mm in between your blinds (when used in conjunction with the medium blind headrail system. If your blind dimensions warrants a larger blind system the light gap will increase to 30mm).
Side by side blinds can be operated independently by a chain or motor, or can be interconnected so multiple blinds can be operated simultaneously with one chain or motor. Please see the interconnected tab for further information.

All of our motorised roller blinds are supplied with Somfy motors who are industry experts in the category.
When ordering a motorised roller blind we need to know:
How is your blind being powered?
How is your blind being controlled?
How if your blind being powered?
Battery control – integrates seamlessly into the window covering of your choice. The battery will only need charging twice a year.
230V power supply
*Home control systems may require 12V or 24V
How is your blind being controlled:
Somfy Zigbee 3.0 – new technology
Somfy Radio Technology (RTS)
*Home Control System wired technology – WT
*Home Control System dry contract technology – DCT
*Your AV company will be able to advise how your blinds will be powered and which control system you require to integrate your blinds with your home control system.
Somfy RTS vs Somfy Zigbee:
Somfy Zigbee 3.0 is the new technology from Somfy that offers more flexibility, versatility and integration than Somfy RTS.
RTS communicates omnidirectional whereas Zigbee offers bi-directional communication which offers some advantages:
The bi-directoinal feedback enables live product status / position of your blinds.
RTS that offers open / closed or open to the pre-set ‘MY’ position, whereas Zigbee offers 99 intermediate opening / closing positions for increased flexibility.
RTS has a fixed range up to 20m, whereas you can keep adding to the Zigbee mesh network for infinite reach.
Zigbee offers faster charging (and on screen information on your battery level) and utilises standard USB-c charges.
Zigbee enables us to offer enhanced after sales support by logging in remotely (with your permission) to the Somfy Professional platform so we can help identify and rectify any issues remotely.
Both Somfy RTS and Somfy Zigbee 3.0 are compatible with the Somfy TaHoma Switch which is a Smart Home Control to centralise and connect home equipment. If integrating your Zigbee powered blind with the Somfy TaHoma Switch you do not need a remote control or wall switch for the set up. This can be done from the TaHoma App. If you have specified a Somfy RTS powered blind a remote control or wall switch will be required for set up.
Wall switches and remote controls are available for both Zigbee and RTS controlled blinds:
This wall switch makes a stylish statement, while offering all the benefits of a single channel remote. This battery-operated solution is easy to install and doesn’t require an electrician.
New timeless look, with interchangeable frames to match any room.
Surface-mount avoids cutting into drywall.
Completely wireless.
Quick and simple installation.
Includes open, close and stop functions, and programmable ‘my’ button.
Located on a wall provides an ideal way to operate motorised products when entering or exiting a room.
This multi channel wall switch can control multiple RTS products individually and as a group. In addition to the 4 individual channels, you can create temporary groups by selecting a combination of the 4 channels. The relevant led’s are pressed to select a temporary group, then the direction or stop button is pressed to operate the blinds. The command signals are sent consecutively to each channel, with the corresponding channel LED blinking during operation.
The three control buttons provide raise, lower and stop control functionality. A favourite position can also be programmed and recalled at the touch of a button (‘my’ button).
Remote Controls
Situo 1 RTS HAND-HELD REMOTES
Situo hand-held remotes offer convenient and simple operation of every type of motorised application. Single channel remotes can operate one individual product or be used to operate a group of motorised products simultaneously.
Examples:
Use the single channel to operate a motorised blind above your sink.
Use the single channel to operate a group of motorised blinds in your dining room. The blinds will raise and lower at the same time.
SITUO 5 RTS MULTI-CHANNEL HAND-HELD REMOTES
Five channel remotes offer more functionality because they offer an additional 5 channels of control. Each channel can still operate one individual product, such as a single motorised blind, or a group of motorised products, such as all the motorised blinds on the first floor. With a total of five channels, you can set the preferences that suit your lifestyle requirements.
Examples:
Use channel one for one motorised blind in your kitchen.
Use channel two for two motorised roman blinds in your living room.
Use channel three for the motorised curtain tracks in your dining room.
Use channel four for the motorised roller blinds in the bedroom.
Use the fifth channel as a master to activate all of your motorised products.
TELIS 1 CHRONIS RTS & TELIS 6 CHRONIS RTS

Or if your have a flexible schedule, use the two different schedules on days that work best for you.
Utilise the manual mode at any time to simply open or close your blinds, regardless of set schedules, without losing them.
Power Options
The most popular power options are Li ion battery or 230v mains power. We do offer alternative power options and these are most commonly used if you are integrating your blinds with a home control system where you are supplying your windows with a 12v or 24v power supply. An overview of these options is provided below.
Solar
For our battery operated blinds, we also offer the option of adding a solar panel. Although this will not totally eliminate the need to recharge your battery, it will trickle charge the battery to increase the amount of time in between battery charges. Please note, the effectiveness of the solar panel will be dictated by the amount of direct sunlight received. South facing aspects will provide the greatest efficiency.
Other power options – 12v and 24v

Bottom Bar Options for Roller Blinds: Finding the Perfect Finish
Fabric Covered Bottom Bar
Round Bottom Bar
Gemini Bottom Bar
We offer a variety of bottom bar options to complement your roller blinds and enhance their functionality. Watch our YouTube video above for an overview of the options available.
Fabric Pocket with Weight:
This is a popular option. It features a pocket at the bottom of the blind that holds a weighted bar. This provides stability and helps the blind hang straight. Light filtering fabrics will have a stitched pocket and blackout fabrics will have a bonded pocket (to eliminate light ingress through the stitching). Benefits: Simple and effective at keeping the blind taut.
Fabric Covered Bottom Bar:
This option adds a decorative touch with an oval-shaped bar fully covered in the same fabric as the blind. Benefits: Creates a cohesive look, ideal for those who want the bottom bar to blend seamlessly with the blind, whilst creating a very subtle design feature at the bottom of the blind. This is our standard option.
Gemini Bottom Bar:
This metal bottom bar option is available in a choice of five colour options (white, black, silver, anthracite grey and chrome) and you can specify whether you would like the angled or smooth side visible. Benefits: Provides versatility, allowing you to create a more distinct design feature at the bottom of your blind by either selecting a complementary or contrasting colour bottom bar.
Round Bottom Bar:
This classic option utilises a round metal bar for a stylish look. Benefits: Offers a clean and timeless design, perfect for traditional or contemporary settings. Available in white and silver.
Choosing the right bottom bar depends on your desired aesthetics and functionality. For a simple and functional option, the fabric pocket or fabric covered bottom bars are a great choice. If you prefer a more decorative look, consider the coloured Gemini bar or the round bar for a classic style.
The image below shows the fabric covered bottom bar which is the standard option.
Capital Fascia Bottom Bars
If you have ordered a Capital Fascia to conceal your blind, you can order a co-ordinating bottom bar available in 4 finishes; white, black, anthracite grey and brushed silver.
For chain operated blinds, the blind will be supplied with either chain break joiners attached to the operating chain, or a P Clip chain retainer that will need to be fitted to the wall.
Chain Break Joiners
Two chain break joiners are connected to the operating chain 200mm apart. This ensures that at least one of them will be in the vertical position ensuring they perform as required. If excessive weight is applied within the loop a chain break joiner will break apart. If a joiner comes apart then it will need to be re-connected. To re-connect, check the joiner for damage. If undamaged, re-connect the chain by inserting the last ball on the end of the chain into the larger hole of the joiner and push it into place. A blind with a chain break joiner can be fitted with the chain finishing 60cm above the ground.
P-Clip Chain Retainer
Alternatively a P-Clip Chain Retainer can be supplied. The bottom of the chain must then be fitted at least 150cm from the floor. The P-Clip must then be secured on the wall.

Features and Benefits
RAL Colour Matching
All Blindspace blind box profiles can be primed and painted on site, alternatively we can offer a colour matching service to any RAL reference. Either the entire box or just the hinged cover plate can be colour matched. In most instances if the box is being fully recessed, it will only be the hinged cover plate that would need to be colour matched. Both options are available when you specify the product above. For the majority of colours a powder coating process is used, however for some special colours that are not available in powder coat, a durable wet spray paint will be applied. The Standard profiles are supplied in RAL 9003 30% gloss.
Buy Blindspace blind box profiles online using our product configurator – or call for assistance and advice.
Our prices are for a fully made to measure specification cut to your exact specification. All our prices include end caps as standard.
Blinds can be concealed inside the wall or inside the ceiling, with the blind gap towards the window or towards the room. The most common configuration in windows and doors, is to use a headbox only, however in rooms where blackout blinds may be required, Blindspace side boxes and bottom boxes are also frequently used.
As a general rule, blinds should be installed as close to the window as possible to minimize gaps on the sides of the blind. This increase privacy, reduce light coming in and warm air circulating to the room. With Blindspace side boxes, gaps can be eliminated and 100% blackout can be achieved.
It is important to allow for protruding door and window handles when configuring the blind gap close to the window.
Please note: Due to the size and weight of these products we can only offer subsidised and not free shipping. Shipping costs are detailed at checkout.

The idol end of the blind (not the control end with ball chain or motor) has a built-in ratchet system which offers a significant advantage in terms of both security and ease of use. By locking the plunger in place, this system prevents accidental disengagement, ensuring that your blind remains securely positioned throughout its lifespan, whilst also fixing the light gap at the end of the blind. This is particularly beneficial in areas with high wind or frequent movement, as it helps to prevent the blind from being blown open or dislodged.
To use the ratchet system, simply fit the plunger into the bracket. Once the plunger has been fully depressed, the ratchet system will engage as the plunger is released, providing a firm grip and preventing any unwanted movement. When you need to adjust the blind, simply rotate the clear plastic disk at the end of the blind in the either direction to release the ratchet and reposition the blind as needed.
The following video provides a close up demonstration of how this ratchet system operates.
