By Mendelson Tiu | Thursday | 05/06/2008

Designed Blinds Australia has launched Overlap, a bracketing system that allows roller blinds to overlap each other to completely eliminate light gaps.

The company says that the biggest challenge facing the window furnishing industry today is finding a way to successfully eliminate light gaps between roller blinds.

Designed Blinds Australia's Managing Director, Kevin Clarke said, "People have larger homes these days and that often presents the issue of adequately dressing very wide window spaces. Linked roller blind systems are immensely popular but disappoint when it comes to light gaps between adjacent blinds. Overlap was designed to solve this problem. Our aim was to cover large window spaces with ease while putting a stop to the beams of light that normally enter the room between blinds."

In its essence, Overlap is a very simple concept. Subtle design changes were made to the shape of a roller bracket allowing multiple roller blinds to be linked and overlapped in order to eliminate light gaps between roller blinds.
