Energy benefits
Window treatments that are tight fitting to the window and made from closely woven fabrics, provide one of the most effective ways to prevent heat transmittance through windows. Luxaflex® Roman Blinds can be fitted in the window reveal and have no gaps between panels that would otherwise allow warm air to escape. Select a blockout or room darkening fabric, with a white or light colour facing the window for optimum energy performance. Extraflocke fabrics come in a range of colours, some specifically selected for the commercial environment and have a neutral flocked backing for superior heat rejection.
Environmental and employee benefits
Fabrics can be selected to give building occupants the optimum combination of light and heat control, privacy and view to the outside. The ease of operation of Roman Blinds puts all users in complete control of their environment. Luxaflex®, operates under an Environmental Management System that actively works towards waste and emission reduction and maximising the use of recycling.

Features
‘No-sew’ design
The method of manufacture ensures that panels are always parallel and there are no pin holes of light visible in blockout fabrics. Aluminium battens are colour co-ordinated with the rear face of the fabric.
Fade-protected design
The folding panel arrangement of roman blinds ensures that the front face of the fabric is protected from harmful UV rays, even when the blind is raised. Each extrusion hangs slightly lower than the previous one to minimise the stack depth when the shade is raised. Stack depth is 280mm.
Timber headrail
The operating mechanism of roman blinds is attached to a timber headrail. The colour is co-ordinated with the fabric, for a less obtrusive appearance.
Cord or chain operation or chain control mechanism
Luxaflex® Roman Blinds are manually operated using cords. Cords are finished with colour co-ordinated tassels. The blind is held in the raised position with a positive action cordlock. Chain supplied in 750mm, 1250mm, 1500mm or 1750mm lengths.
Timber pelmet
Optional 70mm cedar pelmet is available with a further option of mitred returns.
Automation
