Hi,
I'm looking to buy a black out type roller blind for our bedroom (hence the need to black out) that is, at least 180cm wide.
My usual port of call would be Ikea or Ideal, but 140cm wide is the maximum they sell.
Ideas and suggestions very welcome please.
TIA

Ikea use to do blockout blinds up to 2 metres wide which could also be cut to size...I think they were called Tupplur.
We have them all over our house and they are excellent for blocking light. I’ve just looked at their web site though and can’t see them now, but it might be worth a try in their store if it’s open.

Unfortunately we dont have a frame around the middle of the window, so the 5cm gap would not work for us (our bedroom window gets full beam from the Cotillo lighthouse!!). However, thanks for the advice.
Will be visiting Decalor soon.

Just to bring this one to a close;
Decalor: good range. Bit pricey.
Ideal: limited range but great prices.

Thanks for the update Tom. Does Ideal do bespoke blinds too or just selection of sizes?

Hi Sam,
Set sizes only, so whereas I would have ordered a 1.8m wide bespoke blind the Ideal offered a 2m wide, which we are happy with as the 100mm overlap either side of the window does prevent light spill.

My black out blinds from Ideal have been great.
