Discover Our Range of Fabric-Covered Pelmet Blinds for a Chic Look
Pelmet blinds are blinds that are finished off with a top pelmet at the top of the blind. This provides a finished and modern look that elevates the overall aesthetic of the blind. Most pelmet blinds are pelmet roller blinds. Pelmet blinds are often referred to as cassette blinds or roller blinds with a valance. The pelmet encases the head roll of the blind providing a streamlined and more finished overall look than usual. The cassette can either be exposed metal or fabric-covered for a softer look. The beauty of the cassette system is that it completely covers the roller mechanism and the fabric roll thus protecting the fabric and inhibiting light leakage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cassette blinds are a window shading option that offers a contemporary alternative to traditional roller blinds. Another name for cassette roller blinds are pelmet roller blinds. These blinds feature a cassette headbox (ie a pelmet), which houses the roller mechanism and provides a polished and streamlined look. The cassette can be made of exposed metal for a modern aesthetic or fabric-covered for a softer appearance.
One of the advantages of cassette blinds is their ability to fully cover the roller mechanism and fabric roll when the blinds are retracted. This not only protects the fabric from damage but also ensures that no light seeps through, offering enhanced light control and privacy.
- Start by gathering the necessary tools: a tape measure, a pencil, a spirit level, a drill, and appropriate screws or brackets provided with the blind.
- Measure the width and height of your window recess or the area where you want to install the blind. Ensure accurate measurements to ensure a proper fit.
- Mark the desired position of the brackets or screws on the window frame or wall, based on your measurements. Use a spirit level to ensure the markings are level and straight.
- If the blind requires brackets, align them with the markings and use a drill to create pilot holes for the screws. Insert the screws and tighten them securely. If the blind has adhesive brackets, simply remove the backing and press them firmly onto the marked positions.
- Once the brackets are securely in place, carefully insert the cassette headbox into the brackets. Ensure that it fits snugly and securely.
- If necessary, attach the fabric or slats to the roller mechanism as per the manufacturer's instructions. Some cassette blinds may come preassembled, in which case you can skip this step.
- Test the blind by gently pulling it down to ensure smooth operation. Adjust any tension or alignment if necessary.
