Ordering Tips – Home Range Roman Blind
STYLE
- Barrel/acorn:
If barrel/acorn colour is not specified, chrome will be supplied.
- Cleat:
If cleat colour is not specified, chrome will be supplied.
- Cord lock:
Used for cord operated roman blinds to lock the blind into the desired position, rather than relying on the cleat. Not recommended and not covered by BQ warranty for sheer fabric blinds. Also not recommended on blinds installed in window recess, corners, under pelmets or butting bays, due to angle required to unlock mechanism to release the cord.
- Chain (for blinds with a headrail system):
If chain colour is not specified, white plastic chain will be supplied. Chain length is approximately 2/3 of the blind drop,
unless otherwise specified. Plastic chains are supplied in 25cm increments.
- Chain tensioner:
A clear chain tensioner will be supplied. For recessed blinds we can also provide white, birch white, or black round shaped tensioners, on request.

OPTIONAL FEATURES & SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
- Batten alignment:
If multiple blinds in same room and battens are to line up, please specify requirements.
- Double fold at base:
To create interest the base of the blind is finished with an additional fold that sits a standard 80mm above the blinds finished base. The blind is made with a longer drop and additional fabric is required.
- Double fold at top:
A fabric fold (in main fabric) can be added to the blind headboard to hide componentry seen through sheer, translucent or screen fabric and create a pelmet look. We make the blind with a drop longer than required and then fold the fabric at the top. Additional fabric is required. Suitable for structured blind styles with battens only and not available with motorised blinds.
- Double lathe at base:
Added to create interest. Provides a similar base style to a BB3 style Bonded roller blind.
- Front flap at top:
A fabric flap can be added to the blind headboard to hide componentry seen through sheer, translucent or screen fabrics. The flap sits directly behind the blind main fabric. It is made with the main fabric and is lined with a thin wood to ensure complete blockout. It is the same width as the blind and has a standard finished drop of 80mm or 100mm to hide larger motors, or request an alternate size. A front flap can also be requested to hide blind componentry visible through windows from outside. The flap will instead sit on the window glass side of the headboard.
- Lining strips:
Placed over horizontal stitch lines in blockout lining to stop light filtering through stitch holes. Assist with complete light blockout. Colour matched to lining. White and ivory strips available.
- Side flaps:
Fabric flaps attached to blind headboard both sides of blind, to conceal side view of lifting componentry. Used for face fixed blinds. Standard length is 150mm or 170mm for motorised blinds or request alignment with stack
