Roller blind moving from the bottom to the top.

It is possible to make roller blinds which pull up from the bottom. It is especially good for privacy when your windows are at ground level next to a footpath.

It is spring loaded and attached to the window sill by roller blind brackets.The roller blind is pulled from the bottom to the top using cord and pulleys. www.baileysblinds.com.

The blinds screen the shop front whilst displays are being changed. The display designers would rather reveal their creation to the public when it is complete and prevent people seeing the shop front under construction containing naked mannequins and in an untidy mess.

The windows are very tall (about four metres) so instead of  using conventional roller blinds operating from top to bottom Gavin from Pattons asked Baileys Blinds from Bury St Edmunds to supply and install roller blinds which pull up from the ground. The blinds clip into brackets attached to the shop front about two metres from the ground.

The rollerblinds were covered in Guardian White flame retardant fabric from Louvolite and were installed inside cassette boxes from Global International which were painted in light gray to match the shop front. (The choice of colour was nothing to do with Gavin).

Baileys Blinds completed the installation on time without disruption to the operation of the Bury St Edmunds Debenhams store which was receiving stock before opening in March 2009.
