Similarly, you may ask, can you replace the fabric on a roller blind?
The simple answer is no, your local blind company can just replace the fabric and re-use the hardware, so there is no need to replace the brackets. They will then order your chosen fabric which usually takes a couple of days. They will then remove the old fabric from your roller and replace it with your new fabric.
Similarly, can you cover a roller blind with fabric? Trim both sides of fabric so that they reach about 1″ beyond the blind's width. Spray glue on these pieces and turn them around the blind and press them down. It's a custom roller shade covered in pretty fabric that's still functional and practical.
Additionally, what material is used for roller blinds?
- Standard Fabric: These are the most common fabrics available. Huge range of colours and designs.
- Dimout Fabric: These fabrics can also be know as Energy Saving Fabrics.
- Blackout Fabrics: A blackout fabric will do a very good job in reducing the light entering the room.
- Waterproof Fabrics: Made from PVC.
