Duo Roller Blinds
- Two independent rollers on one bracket for day and night control
- Typical pairing: sunscreen or sheer for daytime view plus blockout for night privacy
- Manual chains, cordless options, or motorised smart control
- Measured and installed locally, shipped nationwide
Duo Roller blinds are the smart two-in-one solution. You get a daytime blind that keeps the view and softens glare, plus a night blind that delivers full privacy and darkness. Each roller operates on its own control so you can use one, the other, or both together. It is neat in the reveal, clean at the window, and ideal for street-facing rooms, lounges, bedrooms, and home offices.
How Duo Roller Blinds works
- Two rollers sit on one bracket set, each with its own tube and control chain.
- Day fabric is normally a sunscreen or sheer mesh to reduce glare while keeping the view.
- Night fabric is a blockout for privacy and room darkening.
- Use cases bedrooms, street-facing lounges, studies, rentals, media rooms.
- Options chain, cordless, or motorised with remotes or smart schedules.
Duo Roller Blinds vs Zebra Blinds
Duo Roller uses two separate rollers. Zebra blinds use one roller with alternating sheer and opaque bands. Both manage light well, but they solve slightly different needs.
| Feature | Duo Roller Blinds | Zebra Blinds |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Two independent rollers on one bracket | Single roller with sheer and opaque bands |
| Daytime view | Sunscreen fabric keeps outside view and cuts glare | Sheer band allows soft light and partial view |
| Night privacy | Blockout roller gives full privacy and darkening | Opaque band position gives strong privacy |
| Best for | Bedrooms, street-facing windows, media rooms | Living rooms, studies, contemporary aesthetics |
| Motorisation | Excellent. Preset times for day and night rollers | Excellent. Presets for day and night positions |
Tip: with interior lights on at night, any sheer fabric becomes more see-through from outside. Duo Roller solves this by giving you a true blockout layer for evenings.

FAQs in South Africa about Duo Roller Blinds
Do I need both rollers every day
No. Most homes use the sunscreen by day and only drop the blockout at night or for TV time.
Can I put both chains on one side
Yes. We can configure controls on the same side or split left and right depending on access and furniture.
Will it fit inside my window reveal
Often yes. Duo Roller brackets are compact, and a cassette keeps the look neat. We will confirm depth and clearances at measure.
Is motorisation worth it
For large spans, bay windows, or many windows in one room, motorisation saves time and keeps chains out of reach of children and pets. Schedules can lower for heat control and raise for winter sun.
