Everything about roller blinds
Roller blinds are the workhorse of modern Indian windows: a single piece of fabric that rolls up onto a tube behind the headrail, so they stack almost out of sight and suit everything from a bedroom window to a full-height office glass wall. Because there are no slats, cords or moving parts to catch dust, they are also the easiest blind to keep clean and the most economical way to get made-to-measure light control.
At BlindsBazaar every roller blind is cut in-house at our Mangolpuri workshop to your exact measurements, from 300+ fabrics across three opacity levels — light-filtering, dim-out and 100% blackout — with chain, spring or motorised operation. Pricing is straightforward: you pay per square foot of fabric, so a 4×5 ft window costs the same whether you order one blind or fifteen.
Types of roller blinds
- Blackout roller blinds
- Triple-weave fabrics that block 99–100% of light — the standard choice for bedrooms, media rooms and west-facing glass that turns a room into an oven by 4 pm.
- Sunscreen / translucent rollers
- Open-weave PVC-coated polyester that cuts glare and up to 86% of solar heat while keeping the view out. Popular for living rooms and executive offices.
- Light-filtering roller blinds
- Softens daylight without a view block — the everyday pick for hallways, kitchens and shared spaces.
- Dual (day-night) roller blinds
- One cassette, two fabrics — a sheer and a blackout band — switched from a single chain when you want view or privacy without changing blinds.

Roller Blinds FAQs
What is the price of roller blinds in Delhi?
Made-to-measure roller blinds at BlindsBazaar start from ₹85 per sq ft for light-filtering fabrics and go up to around ₹190 per sq ft for imported blackout and sunscreen fabrics. A typical 4×5 ft bedroom window therefore works out to roughly ₹1,700–₹4,800 including the mechanism — the exact rate is shown on every product page before you order.
Are roller blinds good for Indian summers?
Yes. Blackout and sunscreen roller fabrics reject most of the solar load before the heat enters the room — independent tests show up to 80–90% heat rejection on the fabric side — which measurably drops air-conditioning load on west and south facing windows.
How are custom blinds measured?
Measure each window yourself with a steel tape — width at three points (use the smallest) and height at left, centre and right (use the longest) — or book our free AR self-measure tool / a site visit across Delhi NCR. Every blind is then cut to the exact size you send us.
Can roller blinds be motorised later?
Yes. Every roller we make uses a standard 38 mm tube, so a chain-driven blind bought today can take a tubular motor next year without re-buying the fabric — just swap the mechanism.
