Key features of the Eliminate® Roller Blind

Zip Technology

The zip system is hot-air welded to the edge of the fabric, making it permanently retained within the side guide channels. This allows for a smooth and consistent operation of your blind system. This technology is designed with quality in mind. The cassette system has built-in side channels, powder coated to your exact specification needs.

Energy Saving

The variety of materials on offer with this product brings the added bonus of saving on energy usage, be it light and heat reduction in summer or retention in winter. In an independent scientific study conducted by Salford Energy House Labs, the Eliminate® Zip indoor roller blind was deemed the most energy efficient of all those tested, reducing heat loss by up to 33%.

Up to 18% of heat lost from a typical residential house is through its windows. So, adding suitable blinds can help lower your energy costs whilst reducing environmental impact.

Textile options

All products across the Eliminate® Zip collection are available in a variety of different fabrics to meet your specifications. This brings a range of added benefits to your product selection.

• Blackout blinds: Prevent or significantly reduce the amount of light entering a room by using a blackout textile.
• Flame retardant: Reduce the risk of combustion with modern treated flame-retardant textiles.
• PVC Screen: Great natural light and exceptional transparency, withstanding most weather variations without damage or losing their UV protection properties.
• Acoustic Material: Acoustic absorption can be ideal in buildings for services or those open to the public, reducing ambient noise levels.
• Fiberglass: An excellent insulator, reflecting up to 97% of solar energy when installed externally. The diagonal fabric structure reduces glare dramatically.
