The power of Roller Blind fabrics

The benefits of Roller Blinds go beyond their inherent function. With an extensive range of fabrics and coatings, you can select the benefits that are most desirable to you, your home or your business. 

Duragaurd

With Duragaurd® Fabric Protector, we help to protect against life little mishaps. We can’t prevent the events that lead to stains, but we can prevent them from sticking.

Duragaurd® Fabric Protector effectively repels most stain causing agents with it’s proven, water-based, preventative formula. With the protective coating, your blinds will resist water stains from rain, moisture and condensation; almost a given in any older New Zealand home. Even better yet, they will resist oily stains from spills and fingerprints, perfect for kitchens and kids bedrooms just to start.

Sanitize

Chances are, either you or someone you know suffers from Asthma. Did you know that 1 in 7 children are affected? Common Asthma triggers include house dust mites and mould. With Sanitize® Antimicrobial Protection on your blinds, you can help reduce these triggers. Sanitize® Antimicrobial Protection is a fabric coating that is free of harmful substances and is recommended for allergy sufferers. Protecting against the development of bacteria and mildew, it effectively eliminates the associated odours ensuring freshness and well-being in the home.

There is nothing worse than a musty and mouldy blind. With the weather and old homes we have here in New Zealand we can understand why it happens, but the fact is, it doesn’t have to. For freshness and wellbeing in your home, we offer a range of fabrics treated with Sanitize®. For most of us, especially those with allergies and young children, Sanitize® is essential.

Fade Resistance

Here in New Zealand, it’s safe to say we are all aware of the dangers of the sun. One sunburn too many quickly reminds you of the damage caused by our UV. Just like our skin, all surfaces are affected by UV, including our blinds. But unlike sunburns, when it comes to other surfaces, they tend to fade. Between carpets, bbq covers, curtains and car paint we aware of the effect.

You can hang our blinds with confidence knowing that Luxaflex fabrics undergo stringent testing to ensure they resist fading and maintain their original appearance for many years to come. How do we do this? We test all our fabrics for colour or light fastness on a scale of 1 to 8, 8 being the most fade resistant exposure to light. As for our fabrics, we are only happy with a 6 or above. Compared to many other fabrics in Australasia that don’t even pass these tests, we know who we would go with.

Fire Retardant

Compulsory in any commercial environment, fire retardant fabrics shouldn’t be overlooked in our home scenarios either. Protecting against the ‘what-if’, Luxaflex fire retardant fabrics have been designed specifically to inhibit the spread of flames and smoke in the event of a fire.

Independently tested in accordance with the Australian standard, Luxaflex fire retardant fabrics provide you with a solution that is safe for you, your family or workplace in the New Zealand environment.

Verosol® SilverScreen 205

Maintain an excellent outlook on life with our Semi-transparent Verosol® SilverScreen 205 metal backed fabric. Exclusive to Luxaflex® Roller Blinds, dramatically reduce heat and glare at the window, independent of colour choice.

Constructed from a hard wearing metalised PVC Coated Fibreglass, Verosol® SilverScreen 205 has a nanolayer of aluminium applied on the outside facing side of the fabrics. This ultra-thin layer covers only the fibres and leaves the weave and textile properties intact, unlike other methods of application.
