Double roller blinds combine two roller blinds on a single bracket — typically a sunscreen or light filtering fabric for daytime use and a blockout for night — each operated independently. During the day you use the sunscreen or light filtering layer for glare control, soft light or a preserved view; in the evening you drop the blockout for complete privacy and darkness. It’s one of the most practical window treatment solutions available, giving the performance of two separate blinds in a single, neat installation.
At Hay Interiors we offer quality double roller systems with well-matched fabric combinations chosen for both performance and appearance. To be straightforward: roller blinds are made to our specification by trusted Perth specialists rather than sewn in our workroom. Our value is in expert fabric pairing, accurate measuring and professional installation — including making sure the two fabrics complement each other in colour and texture so the system looks considered rather than functional.
Double roller blinds are particularly well suited to rooms used throughout the day and into the evening, where needs change significantly between morning, afternoon and night:
They’re also a space-efficient solution — one bracket, two fabrics, one installation. Compare this with the alternative of separate curtains and a blind, which requires two tracks and considerably more wall space. Annie advises on whether a double roller, a single roller with curtains, or another combination genuinely suits each window.
The most common combination is sunscreen plus blockout — sunscreen for daytime glare control and a view, blockout for complete darkness and privacy at night. But other combinations suit different rooms. Light filtering plus blockout works well where soft diffused light is preferred over a view-through, and the blockout layer still delivers complete darkness when needed. Two different sunscreen densities can suit a room where some flexibility in glare control is wanted without ever needing full blackout.
Colour pairing also matters. Annie ensures the two fabrics work together visually — both from inside and from the street — so the system looks intentional rather than mismatched. The cassette and bracket finish is chosen to complement the room’s hardware and palette.
Double roller blinds suit motorisation particularly well. Operating two fabrics manually requires two separate chains or cords, which can look cluttered and feel inconvenient — motorisation removes both, leaving a completely clean window reveal with effortless operation from a remote, wall switch, app or smart-home system. Using quality Acmeda and Somfy systems, motorised double rollers integrate with the same platform as our motorised curtains and motorised Roman blinds, so the whole home can run on one system. Annie advises on hardwired versus rechargeable battery options based on your windows and existing setup.
The best way to begin is to visit our showroom in Nedlands. You can explore hundreds of fabric samples, see finished examples, and often watch work happening in the attached workroom. Annie or a member of the team is always happy to talk through possibilities and answer questions.
Alternatively, we can arrange an in-home consultation at a time that suits you. This has the advantage of enabling us to consider your actual windows and provide advice on the best window dressings for your space.
Either way, you will receive honest, expert guidance focused entirely on what is right for your windows and your home.
We look forward to helping you create window furnishings you will love for many years to come.
