With the Apollo wire guide system your Roller is stabilised because the bottom rail is attached to stainless steel wire as the blind rolls up and down. This means that your Roller Blind is not as affected by breeze from open windows and remains stable in any position.

Custom Roller Blinds for Australian Homes
Roller blinds are one of the most practical window furnishings for Australian homes because they suit almost every room, from bedrooms and living areas to kitchens, offices and large glass doors. Their clean design makes them easy to pair with modern interiors, while the right fabric can help manage privacy, natural light, glare and sun exposure.
Apollo roller blinds are custom made to suit your windows, not pulled from a standard shelf size. That matters because a better fit means a cleaner finish, smoother operation and fewer gaps around the window. During your free measure and quote, your local Apollo consultant can help you choose the right fabric, colour, roll direction, control type and installation position.
You can choose from blockout roller blinds for stronger privacy and room darkening, light filter roller blinds for softer daylight, or sunscreen roller blinds to help reduce glare and UV exposure while keeping daytime views. For more flexibility, double roller blinds can combine two fabrics on the same window, while motorised roller blinds make operation easier for wide windows, high windows and everyday convenience.
Roller Blinds Product Range
Choose the right roller blind fabric based on privacy, light control, glare, heat and room use.
Best for bedrooms, media rooms, nurseries and street-facing windows.
Blockout roller blinds are designed to reduce light and improve privacy, making them a strong choice for bedrooms and rooms where you want more control over brightness. They are also useful for media rooms, nurseries and windows facing the street or neighbouring homes.
A blockout fabric gives the room a more private, enclosed feel, especially at night. For the best result, your consultant can recommend the right fit, roll direction and installation type to help reduce light gaps around the window.
Best for soft daylight, daytime privacy and a warmer interior feel.
Light filter roller blinds soften natural light without fully darkening the room. They are often used in living rooms, dining areas and kitchens where you want daylight to enter the space, but you still want a level of privacy and glare control.
They are a good middle option when blockout feels too heavy and sunscreen fabric feels too open. Light filter fabrics can also help create a softer, more comfortable look across large window areas.
Best for glare control, daytime views and sun-facing rooms.
Sunscreen roller blinds are designed to reduce glare and UV exposure while helping preserve outward views during the day. They are useful for living areas, home offices, large windows and rooms exposed to strong sunlight.
They are especially practical where screen glare, heat or fading from sunlight is a concern. Keep in mind that sunscreen fabrics provide daytime visibility control, but they do not provide the same level of night-time privacy as blockout fabrics.

Which Roller Blind Fabric Should You Choose?
The right fabric depends on the room, the direction of the sun and how much privacy you need.
| Your priority | Best option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom privacy and darkness | Blockout Roller Blinds | Helps reduce light and improve privacy |
| Living room daylight | Light Filter Roller Blinds | Softens daylight without fully darkening the room |
| Glare and UV control | Sunscreen Roller Blinds | Helps reduce glare while keeping daytime views |
| Large windows or sliding doors | Linked Roller Blinds | Allows multiple blinds to work neatly across wide openings |
| Flexible day and night control | Double Roller Blinds | Combines two fabric types on one window |
| Easier operation | Motorised Roller Blinds | Useful for wide, high or hard-to-reach windows |
Where Roller Blinds Work Best
Roller blinds suit most rooms because they are compact, clean and easy to use.
Features
Double Roller Blinds Option
Double roller blinds combine two fabric types on one window for better day and night control.
Double roller blinds are a practical option when one fabric does not do everything you need. A common combination is a sunscreen blind for daytime glare control and outward views, paired with a blockout blind for privacy and room darkening at night.
They are useful in bedrooms, living rooms, apartments and street-facing windows where privacy and daylight both matter. Double roller blinds also work well in rooms that change function throughout the day, such as a living room that gets afternoon sun or a bedroom that also needs daytime light.
Your Apollo consultant can advise whether a double roller blind system is suitable for your window depth, frame type and room requirements.
Linked System for Wide Windows
Linked systems help wide window areas look cleaner and operate more smoothly.
For large windows, sliding doors and open-plan living spaces, one single roller blind may not always be practical. Linked roller blinds allow multiple blinds to work together across a wider opening, helping create a more consistent finish.
They are useful when you want to cover a large span but still keep operation simple. Instead of several separate chains or controls, linked systems can reduce visual clutter and make the blinds easier to manage.
This option is especially useful for patio doors, balcony doors, large lounge room windows and wide dining room openings.
Motorisation Options
Motorisation makes roller blinds easier to use, especially on large or hard-to-reach windows.
Motorised roller blinds are useful for modern homes, large windows, high windows and rooms where convenience matters. Instead of operating the blind manually, you can raise or lower it using a remote, wall switch or compatible automation option.
Motorisation is also worth considering when you have multiple blinds in the same room. It can make daily use easier and help create a cleaner look by reducing the need for chains.
During your consultation, Apollo can help you choose the right motorisation option based on your window size, room layout and preferred control method.

Installation Types
Reveal Fit Installation
Reveal Fit installation (also known as recess fit) mounts the roller blind neatly inside the window recess for a streamlined, built-in finish. This option works best when the frame is deep, square, and unobstructed. Reveal Fit enhances the architecture of the window, improves insulation by reducing air gaps, and keeps walls clear for décor or furniture.
Face Fit Installation
Face Fit installation places the roller blind on the wall or architrave, covering the entire window frame. This style is ideal when the recess is too shallow, uneven, or not suitable for an inside mount. It delivers better light control, helps hide imperfections around the window, and can visually make the window appear larger.
