The crucial aspect of choosing where to fit them is that there must be a recess for the brackets to press against as you can see from the image on the right.

While amateur DIYers would benefit from being able to fit these into any window recess, even those more experienced with a drill would be brought out in a sweat at the thought of drilling into tiles in bathrooms and kitchens. This is where our no drill blinds are the ultimate solution. Any fabric option for a standard roller blind can be ordered with this system too. Soft PVC fabric which are ideal for these often-damp environments are now simple to fit. To put it simply, it kills two birds with one stone.

Recess Fitting No Drill Roller Blind

What are no drill blinds?

Recognising the rise of DIY homeowners in the UK, no drill blinds are one of the most exciting and practical options on the market. With no need to drill or screw into the wall, these innovative window dressings use a unique, tension method to secure them within the window recess. Simply clip the stylish frame into position before adjusting the window blind and using it to manage light and privacy. A clean and simple finish when fitted, they are perfect for temporary accommodation, bustling family homes and those seeking minimalistic style too.

No drill blinds are ideal for any room in the house. Blackout fabrics effectively block out unwanted light, helping to dim any room and supporting restorative sleep. For bathrooms, our waterproof no drill roller blinds have a wipe-clean surface and child-safe design to suit the busiest families. Those looking for luxury will find exactly that with our velvet blinds or various textured blinds. Plus, with colours and patterns to suit all ages, they are one of the most practical options on the market.

Easy to install, it’s little wonder why these made-to-measure blinds are such a popular choice. The Louvolite Grip Fit™ uses a unique compound and clever bracket to push into your window recess. With no tools required, they can be fitted in seconds and motorised, if needed too. There’s no mess created or damage to window recesses or walls. Instead, you get an innovative and stylish addition to compliment every space.

Our electric no drill roller blinds are another contemporary option. The tension-based blind features a rechargeable battery with up to six months of seamless functionality. Charge them fully before installation and you can effortlessly control both light and privacy with the tap of a button - ideal for out-of-reach windows and modern spaces.

What Fabric Options Are Available for Roller Blinds?

Fabric options for no drill roller blinds are designed to meet various tastes and needs. Whether you seek the soft atmosphere offered by light-filtering fabrics or the advanced performance of solar-reflective materials, there's a suitable choice for every purpose. Thermal translucent and thermal blackout fabrics ensure maximum comfort and energy efficiency, maintaining a cosy and efficient environment year-round. This overview will introduce you to some of the available options.

Blackout no drill roller blinds - The ultimate in light management, blackout fabrics often use a coated reverse of the fabric to prevent a large percentage of light from passing into the room. Contrary to popular belief, they don’t just have to be dark in colour. Modern technology means that you could have a white blackout blind that works just as effectively as a black one. Blackout no drill blinds are perfect for bedrooms, nurseries and offices - any space where excessive light would cause disruption.

Thermal blackout no drill roller blinds - Light isn’t the only variable factor that needs managing in a home. Often, temperature causes problems - whether that be too much heat or uncomfortable chills. Thermal blackout fabrics block unwanted light coming into the room as well as minimising heat hitting the cold window and coming back into the room as cold air. This makes it easier to maintain comfortable conditions and can even minimise household energy bills.

Thermal translucent no drill roller blinds - Light management is rarely black or white. In offices, playrooms and even nurseries, fully blocking out the light may not also be the best option. Thermal translucent fabrics filter excessive light but still provide enough for daily activities - all while keeping the temperature at a balanced level too.

Sheer & voile no drill roller blinds - Think those 1980’s net curtains but re-imagined for the 21st century. Sheer and voile blinds allow in just the right amount of light without evading your right to privacy. During the day, you’ll be able to do anything from eating, working and relaxing without nosy passers-by looking in. At night, with the lights on, there will be a filtered view from the outside but, in every scenario, you’ll never need to compromise on style.

Patterned No Drill Roller Blinds - A versatile alternative to traditional roller blinds, our patterned no drill roller blinds add a touch of elegance combined with easy fitting to any room. They allow varying degrees of light to flood into any space, depending on the fabric’s thickness and pattern, while still providing the privacy required. The patterns range from subtle textures to bold designs, ensuring there’s an option to complement any dĂŠcor.

Waterproof no drill roller blinds – Made with soft PVC materials, our waterproof blinds are specifically designed for kitchens, bathrooms and moisture-rich rooms. The wipe-clean surface eliminates mould growth while being impressively easy to clean too. There’s no lack of textured fabrics or patterned designs available too, so embracing your unique personality has never been easier.

How To Clean No Drill Roller Blinds?

Keep it simple is our best advice when cleaning any blind. For no drill roller blinds it depends on the fabric type. Water resistant soft PVC fabrics can simply be wiped clean with kitchen towels or a damp cloth.

To prevent the build-up of dust on polyester or cotton fabrics firstly wind the blind all the way down then starting from the roll at the top gently wipe the fabric with a damp cloth. When finished leave it all the way down and open the window for an hour or so for it to dry.

Roller blind mechanisms are best maintained using a silicone spray to and the control chain wiped down with a damp cloth. If there is more persistent dirt on the chain, then adding some warm soapy water to the cloth will be fine.
