Rooflight Rollers | Abbott's Interiors

Products / Blinds / Rooflight Rollers

Product information

Rooflight rollers are a long-lasting window covering for features such as skylight windows, roof lanterns and orangeries.

Rooflight rollers use zip technology to secure the fabric in place, which reduces sagging. We use one of two possible systems for this depending on the size of the window…

CTS: Constant Tension System
Ideal for shading smaller glazed areas, a CTS uses a single motor system. This means it has one motor that’s located inside the cloth tube. It also has spring boxes at the other end that pull the fabric under tension. They are often used with zip side channels that allow the blind to run freely and quietly whilst preventing the fabric from being pulled free. CTS blinds are available with both mains and battery motors.

FTS: Fabric Tension System
An FTS is a double-motor system with a special motor at both ends of the blind. The motors “talk” to each other through a control box as the blind is travelling to control the moving and finishing tension. Depending on the draw and width required, FTS blind can be up to 6.5m wide and up to 20m long

Both options are available with screen fabrics for shading, which reduce the amount of heat, glare and UV light that enters the room. You also have a range of room darkening fabrics to choose from.

So choose rooflight rollers for increased noise reduction, energy saving, and the neat and stylish finish they provide.

I've had amtico flooring and shutters installed by the team at Abbott's over the past month and couldn't be happier with the results. Really pleased with the advice I was given by Gary in the showroom in choosing the right product for my home, and Steve and the installation team did a cracking job. Highly recommended

★★★★★

Excellent service from Abbotts. Really pleased with my new curtains, fitted bespoke in a bay in which I have spent years thinking it would be too difficult to fit curtains! Helpful and knowledgeable staff, speedy responses and turnaround from measuring to fitting.

Very pleased with the outcome of the rug I bought from here. Tommy from the store was extremely helpful from start to finish and advised to buy the rug and then get it finished in the warehouse as I was looking for a specific colour and wool rug. The whole process took 2 weeks and I was particularly happy about the customisation and option to add specific colours, shapes and sizes. Any remaining materials he offered to cut for free so he went above and beyond what I expected. The final result was exactly what I was looking for. I would consider them again for other flooring purchases.

A special thank you to Tommy at head office, who was incredibly helpful and made the entire process smooth and stress-free.A huge shout-out to Mick for the fantastic installation work. His attention to detail and professionalism were outstanding, and the final result is absolutely perfect. The quality of the flooring and the craftsmanship exceeded my expectations.If you're looking for a reliable company with excellent customer service and top-notch workmanship, I highly recommend Abbotts Flooring Company. Thank you for transforming our hallway!

A big thank you to Tommy Mila who couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating throughout the ordering phase of the process. He was very patient and thorough. Graham, who came to take the measurements was very knowledgeable and has lots of suggestions. Overall, a very good level of service, thank you and I am looking forward to the carpet being fitted - Frances Howarth

All in all a great experience. We had to go through a few emails to clarify some details for our bedroom carpet, but all good at the end.The measurement and fitting services were also very good. Thank you!

Abbott's fitted shutters in three separate rooms including one set of shutters painted with a Farrow and Ball colour to match room. The materials were high quality. the work was carried out quickly and expertly. Will use again without doubt.

Ordered a lovely carpet from Abbots. Had Terry and Aiden who came to fit it. They was polite and helpful, fitted carpet quickly. Such a lovely job they did. Thanks 😊

My review is rather late, sorry. However I would say this company is brilliant by far miles. I had some Shutter blinds fitted on 2 floors as well as carpet fitted. From start to finish. The day I entered the shop I got a warm, friendly welcome and felt this is the kind of place where I want to spend my money. The service has been immaculate from start to finish. Staff are very friendly and helpful and accommodated everything to suit our needs…. We had to have the shutter measurements adjusted due to an error from my part, as after the team measured everything I had some works done. However the shutter blinds were already ordered! They came back to our place, measured and adjusted our shutter blinds for us before delivering and fitting. It is a family run business and everyone works efficiently with enthusiasm. Superb and brilliant service. Many many thanks

Great shop with excellent customer service and a really good range of flooring, blinds etc. Love the products and I'll definitely go again - real people too who call you to keep you updated!

Pamela T.

★★★★★

We have ordered Luxaflex blinds multiple times from Abbots. Friendly reliable service. Visited showroom in bow first time but after that chose at home from sample books. Very pleased with end products. Would use them again

Ann A.

★★★★★

Excellent flooring company. They were helpful at the quoting stage when we were discussing options, and came in as the lowest quote from three. Their work was very good - they came on time and did a beautiful job. There was a lot of large furniture to move, in quite a complicated space and Abbott's did that too, putting it all back at the end. Our flat is transformed and I'm delighted. Very happy to recommend them.

A most pleasant experience to go into a shop to see the different types of blinds & dealt with a pleasant helpful person. Measurement of windows was swiftly done. Installation was earlier than expected. Expertly installed. Love the blinds.. quality in material & appearance !!Will return to shop for the window seats cushions soon.

We have just taken delivery and installation of a beautiful pair of curtains (and will order more from them for other rooms, in time). The service was both personable and professional and they arrived sooner than we'd expected. Great selection of fabrics to choose from and when our initial selection was over budget they helped us find a cheaper match - which we loved better!

★★★★★

This is the second time I have used Abbott's to kit the house with Luxaflex blinds. The service is second to none.Even when the first batch of blinds didn't really looked the way we wanted, they mediated with the blind manufacturer and sorted out replacements at no extra cost. No quips, just great service.I'd highly recommend them!

I have had the pleasure of working with Ben and Josh from Abbott's for the past 15 years on numerous projects throughout London. Their service and engagement have consistently been top-notch. Great service and quality, especially when we were under time pressure to delivery in a tiny timeframe.

Marieke H.

★★★★★

I was very happy with the whole experience: from the showroom visit (it's big!) and finding out options, to having decided on the flooring type and style and the Abbott's team working to make a timeline that worked for me, to the measuring being done, to the floor being fitted really efficiently and well. Great quality. The floor is beautiful, very happy with how it has turned out. A huge thank you to Abbott's! Communication with Abbott's was great, and whole process and experience very personable and positive.

We started looking at the blind options for our large windows and came across top down and bottom up pleated blinds, which seemed to meet our needs. We started look at various blind companies and came across Abbott's who are the agents for Luxaflex Blinds. They soon came, measured and reassured us that the blinds we had identified would work well on our large windows. We discussed the options and soon, following the quote, we ordered from Abbotts's and four weeks later we were notified that the blinds were ready and that they could come and install them the following day. This was exactly what we had been told when we ordered.Yesterday all 11 Luxaflex Duette top down / bottom up blinds were installed, neatly, efficiently and all the rubbish and old blinds were removed. They look great from inside and outside and all work really well and it is fun playing with them.Last night we finally had a good night's sleep because the blackout blinds really helped to block the lights.In summary, very professional and efficient services and the team on the phone and those visiting the site are very helpful and polite. They stood out from the other companies in terms of providing the best product for our needs and great service to go with it

We took an enormously long time to pick a carpet and it really helped that Abbots have a very diverse range in their showroom. The team were very helpful - from picking to fitting. and substantially cheaper than others.

Abbott’s Interiors gave us a highly professional service from start to finish. We wanted two large bespoke roller blinds to cover glass doors, which take up an entire wall. They were manufactured and installed perfectly in the time frame given. We also wanted a blind for a sash window, which is situated high up above a stairwell. Abbott’s Interiors worked out the best solution for an unusual and difficult requirement.It would not have been possible to have the blinds we needed in our house had we used an on-line only service. I’m very glad we found such a reliable and professional company to carry out the work.

We are extremely happy with the awning and the professional work carried out all the way through the process by Abbott’s. From initial phone call, we had consultation and measuring meeting within a week, with advice on canopy and frame colouring as well as placement of the awning. When the awning was ready, it took just a couple of hours to install.I am especially happy with Will and his professionalism from initial contact to completion of the installation and instructions for using the awnings.I would highly recommend Abbott's.

Duygu D.

★★★★★

Placed orders for blinds. They were very quick to respond. Everything went smoothly throughout the process. All appointments were made on time, the proposed timeframes were realistic and deadlines were met. I am very pleased with the quality of the products and the service I received. Thank you!

★★★★★

Abbott’s is a very friendly, helpful company with an excellent showroom. Tommy answered all my questions and couldn’t have been more helpful. I borrowed 2 large floor samples which gave me a much better idea of the colour and grain of the laminate than the small sample sent by the flooring company. The pricing was clear and although somewhat more expensive than other companies, it was well worth it. I felt confident they would do a professional job - which they did. Graham came to measure and Matt laid the flooring. Both were very pleasant and professional. Matt sorted out the original thresholds to fit. I am happy with my floor and would definitely recommend them.They also have parking at the back of the store.

Absolutely amazing experience to order Luxaflex blinds from Abbott's and having them fitted. Needed the blinds urgently and the team at Abbott's made it happen in time. Amazing work ethics and immaculate craftsmanship.

Nicola B.

★★★★★

Absolutely top notch quality & service. From advice to measuring to installation, all the people I dealt with were very knowledeable and professional. After looking around online for curtains and roman blinds I am extremely pleased with my choice to go to Abbott's. Definitely value for money.Only critical point is the reliability of their planning is their planning. A bit optimistic, they need chasing but get there in the end

Tam T.

★★★★★

Just got our new carpet installed with Abbott's. The service Gary and the team provided are top notch. The product is as we expected them to be. The installation was smooth and the team were very clean and professional. Highly recommended!

Heather J.

★★★★★

Very happy and very pleased with the service from Abbott's Interiors. They installed plisse shades made to measure for me. I had looked elsewhere but to made to measure by experts is not so easy to find any more.

Kate M.

★★★★★

Brilliant service - recommended by a family member - the team were really helpful (especially for the measurement, gave good advice) and the installers were tidy, friendly and did a great job. We’re so pleased with the Roger Oates runner.Worth noting that as a new customer I needed to give a deposit for the measurement (redeemable against purchase) and to pay for the invoice in full prior to installation.Thanks team!

Simon K.

★★★★★

I had a timber floor and window blinds installed by Abbotts recently. The quality of the work was great and everyone I dealt with at Abbotts, without exception, was friendly and professional. I’d be happy to recommend them to anyone considering getting work done in their home.

★★★★★

Great service, both at the store and when installing at home. They answered all my questions patiently and were very helpful with practical tips about which shade colours and materials would be best for my needs. I appreciated that they didn't try to sell me something more expensive than I actually needed. They were also very responsive both by phone and email. All in all, a very positive experience.
