Beautifully engineered, the Sheer Blinds Roller Blind range is aimed at providing clients with high performance ,unique, innovative, and stylish shading solutions.
Advanced design and operating mechanisms mean our blinds can be used in a range of settings, including those involving extremely narrow, large or oversized windows.
These highly adaptable blinds are capable of handling very small or very large loads and can be utilised in internal and external applications.
Different combinations of mechanism and head rail profiles can be utilised to optimise function and aesthetic appeal.
Base Rails are available in either anodised or powder coated finishes and come in a range of styles and designs.
Designer and custom finishes, for example lathes and scallops, are available upon request.
Our extensive fabric range means our Roller Blind series can be co-ordinated to suit individual tastes and decorating schemes.
Specifications:
- our brake/ clutch systems provide simple and smooth operation while at the same time maintaining a subtle and minimalistic appearance.
- available in several load capacities, ranging from 2.5 to 8.1 kilograms, with the option of spring assistance should it be required.
Control Options: Individual or multiple blinds can be motorised and easily controlled by means of wall mounted switches, remote controls or integration into Intelligent Systems ( CBUS or BMS.).
Installation Options: a variety of bracket and mounting systems are available, including:
- Double Brackets
- Universal Joints
- Links
- External Wire Guides.
Roman Blinds
We also manufacture an extensive range of Classic, Contemporary and Custom Roman Blinds. These are available with:
- Cord Locks
- Chain Systems ( which eliminate the need for cords to lift and lower the blind.)
- Motorisation: Our System 60 enclosed Head Rail System has been designed to eliminate all visible working components and uses a bearing system to lift or the lower the blinds. No spools or spindles are necessary which means lifing tapes cannot become tangled as they are prone to do in other systems.

GECA rated
Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) and Environmental Choice New Zealand (ECNZ) are eco-labelling organizations that rate the environmental performance of products over their entire life cycle. Developed in accordance with international eco-labelling standards, GECA and ECNZ help consumers to understand the environmental impact of the products they specify by providing independent third-party assessments.
Ecospecifier rated
Ecospecifier conducts life cycle assessments to help architects, designers, builders and specifiers to choose environmentally preferable products and materials. The Ecospecifier Knowledge Base provides detail on the environmental performance of products and technologies under various rating schemes, including Green Star, BASIX, the Building Code of Australia, NABERS and ABGR.
Energy Star rated
Energy rating schemes evaluate the energy efficiency of common household appliances – refrigerators and freezers, clothes washers and dryers, dishwashers and airconditioners. Energy Star is an international standard that promotes low-energy-consumption products. Compliant products use automatic “sleep” modes or low-energy standby settings.
Reduces energy consumption
Making use of materials and products that reduce energy consumption can have a major influence on the environmental impact of a building project. Teaming passive design strategies (orientation, building shape, natural lighting and ventilation) with low-energy lighting, thermally efficient insulation and low-e glass can reduce a project’s reliance on heating and cooling systems, resulting in lower energy consumption. Likewise, use of energy-efficient appliances, alternative energy systems (solar, hydro) and building management systems can also reduce the project’s carbon footprint.
Reduces heating or cooling load
Heating and cooling load is the amount of energy consumed to maintain a desired temperature within a building. Project design – and the materials and products employed – plays a significant role in optimizing the performance of heating and cooling systems, to reduce the energy expended on internal climate control. Elements that affect heating and cooling load include heat transferred through glass windows and doors, infiltration of outside air, and the impact of people, lighting and electronic equipment.
Low embodied water
Embodied energy refers to the energy consumed in producing and distributing products and materials. This spans the extraction of resources, processing and manufacturing, and distribution of the final product. Products and materials with low embodied energy generally require simpler manufacturing processes – for example, natural resources such as timber require less processing than aluminium and other metals. Specifying products with low embodied energy can reduce pollution, depletion of resources and degradation of the environment.
Low embodied energy
Like embodied energy, embodied water is the water used to create and distribute a product or material (as distinct from water used during its operation). Reducing the amount of embodied water in a product’s manufacture and distribution can lessen its impact on the environment.
Emits low VOCs
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emissions from carbon-containing compounds that pollute the air. VOCs are released from many common building products including solvents, paints and lacquers, adhesives, fabrics, carpets, printed paper, board products and composite timber. Rating schemes often categorize VOC content as low, very low, ultra low and zero.
Packaging is reduced
The aim is to reduce the amount of packaging required to effectively house and transport products and materials, resulting in less waste material destined for landfill, lower manufacturing costs for producers, and reduced transportation costs. Some manufacturers implement returnable packaging systems or heavily in recyclable packaging. Paper, glass, metal and board packaging can be readily recycled.
Designed for disassembly
Design for disassembly is a manufacturing strategy that anticipates the future reuse of individual components or materials, enabling a product to be broken into its constituent parts for reuse or recycling. Design for disassembly can make recycling easier, resulting in less use of new resources, less energy consumption and less landfill. In economic terms, design for disassembly gives further value to products beyond their original life. Disassembling a structure rather than demolishing it can also reduce impact on the environment by reducing dust released during demolition, reducing land degradation and reducing transport costs of disposing of materials to landfill.
Locally made
Specifying locally produced materials and products offers both economic and environmental advantages. Use of locally made products and materials minimizes transportation and shipping costs, as well as reducing the amount of energy used in transportation and any pollution that may result. In regard to natural resources – timber or stone, for example – locally sourced products can be better suited to a particular region’s climate and conditions. Further, choosing locally made products supports regional economies and local producers.
