Dual roller blinds: the view by day, dark and private at night
Most of the dual blinds we fit go into one of three rooms:
✓ The living room that turns into the TV room after dinner, with the screen washed out by afternoon glare
✓ The bedroom with a view you don't want to cover, and first light waking you too early
✓ The apartment, or any room, where the neighbours can see straight in once the lights go on
A sunscreen blind gives you privacy by day while you keep the view. At night, with the lights on, it reverses. Lamp on, blind down, and the street can still see you watching TV.
A blockout on its own sorts out the night, but it hides the view all day as well. Day and night blinds put one of each in the same window.
How dual roller blinds work
A dual roller blind is two blinds on one double bracket: one for the day, the other for the night. Each has its own chain or motor, so you lower whichever you need, or roll both up to clear the whole window.
Some people call them double roller blinds or day night roller blinds.
We choose the hardware to suit your joinery:
✓ Aluminium bottom rails in round, oval or flat, in natural anodised, white, cream or black
✓ Steel double brackets in white, cream, grey or black
✓ Plastic chains in white, off-white, grey or black, or stainless steel
Which two fabrics go together
Start with how much view you want by day and how dark the room needs to be at night.
Sunscreen and blockout blinds are the most common pairing. The sunscreen keeps the view by day and the blockout gives you a dark, private room at night, which is why most double roller blinds in NZ homes use it. The sunscreen comes in three openness levels:
✓ 10%: keeps the most view
✓ 5%: sits between the two
✓ 3%: cuts glare most and protects your furniture
If you'd rather soften the light than keep the view, a light filtering fabric can do the day job on occasion. We also carry thermal fabric, and we'll confirm at the measure whether it suits your pairing.
A standard blockout still lets a thin border of light in at the edges. Side guides and a pelmet close that gap on our blockout blinds, and we check at the measure whether they'll work with a dual blind.
Chain or motorised: can one or both blinds be motorised?
Yes, either blind or both. Each one can run on:
✓ A chain, with an optional chain tidy fixing it to the jamb for child safety
✓ A spring-assist system, with no chain at all
✓ A battery or hardwired motor, from a remote, wall switch or smart home control
Linked brackets can run two or more blinds off one chain or motor. We confirm linked and motorised options at the measure, and our motorised blinds page covers the motors.
Will a dual blind fit my window?
Two blinds in one window sounds bulky. In practice the double bracket needs only a little more depth than a single blind, and most recesses take it. Where the recess is shallow, we face fit the blind over the opening.
You'll know before you order anything, because we check the depth at the free measure. Call 09 441 9455 to book it.
Dual roller blinds or zebra blinds: which lasts longer?
Roman has replaced a set of zebra blinds that was only two years old.
The appeal is easy to see. A zebra blind is one fabric with alternating sheer and solid stripes, it looks neat online, and it does a similar day-night job. Over time, though, the sunscreen strip breaks down in UV and the bottom weight tears through.
We can supply zebra blinds, but we recommend dual rollers. They use two proper roller fabrics that last, and roller blind fabric is backed by the manufacturer for 5 years.
Why we measure dual blinds in person
You'll know the fit and the fabrics before you pay anything. David and Roman measure every set of dual blinds in Auckland, and Roman leads every install with our own team.
We bring the showroom to you, because a sunscreen can look quite different in your own light. Windows that only need one blind are covered at the same visit from our roller blinds range.
Book the measure: call 09 441 9455.
How long do dual roller blinds take?
Dual roller blinds take 3 to 4 weeks from deposit to install, and longer in the lead-up to Christmas.

Every dual roller blind we fit is made in NZ and installed by our own team. Follow-up maintenance and servicing are available after that too.
What our customers say about their dual blinds
We have 260+ five-star Google reviews, and 129 of them mention roller blinds, at an average of 4.95. Most of our customers are repeat or referred. Markus and Gaye both had dual blinds fitted.
"I required blinds, some of them dual, throughout my property. What I appreciated most is they took the time to really understand my requirements and ideas but also giving me tips and recommendations I did not think about." (Markus, October 2022)
"The single and double roller blinds, insect screens, and re-stringing of roman blinds have already been installed and their attention to detail has been excellent." (Gaye, January 2021)
Dual roller blind questions
How do dual roller blinds work?
Two blinds share one double bracket, each with its own chain or motor. You lower the sunscreen by day and the blockout at night.
Which two fabrics go together in a dual blind?
Usually a sunscreen (or light filtering) fabric for the day and a blockout for the night. We bring samples of both so you choose the pair in your own light.
Do dual blinds fit in a normal window recess?
Most do. Where the recess is too shallow for the double bracket, we face fit the blind over the opening.
Dual rollers or zebra blinds: which lasts longer?
Dual rollers last longer. A zebra blind's sunscreen strip breaks down in UV and the bottom weight tears through, while a dual blind uses two separate roller fabrics backed by the manufacturer for 5 years.
Can one or both blinds be motorised?
Yes, either or both, run from a remote, wall switch or smart home control. We confirm the options at the measure.
How long do dual roller blinds take?
3 to 4 weeks from deposit to install, and longer before Christmas, although we do our best to turn urgent jobs around faster.
Can you give me a price from my window sizes?
No. The recess depth decides how the double bracket sits, so we measure every window in person first. The measure and quote are free in the Auckland area.
What warranty do you give?
Two years full, parts and labour, with no call-out fee. See our warranty page.
Do you have a showroom?
Yes, in Glenfield, by appointment. We can also bring the showroom to you, with samples at your own window.
