    Have a requirement for a wide 4.7M x 2.4m drop motorised roller blind. Have had great difficulty locating someone who makes them but have found one at last but would like to find somewhere else so that I have a choice.
    Anyone ever bought wide blinds or know of an outlet?

    https://newblinds.co.uk/extra-wide-electric-roller-blinds "XL Size: Up to 4m wide. Up to 3.7m high" ?

    https://www.dotcomblinds.com/catania-frost-premium-xl-roller-blind (4 m x 1.85 m max supposedly)

    Google search is useful.

    Thank for the links unfortunately they do not go wide enough. One site allowed me to do an online quote for 4m wide so gives me idea of their ballpark cost. I accept that it is difficult to get fabric 4.7 m wide but fabric is available to 3M wide. I would be happy for the fabric to rotated 90 deg so the drop comes from the width and the width from run length. I think the quote I have had the orientation of the fabric and being a blackout blind there is no pattern to it.

    Here's an extract from Waverley's site, and a lead to follow:-

    Where glazing wider than 3.5m needs to be covered by a single roller blind, the Draper Flexshade 2 and the Draper Colossal roller blind are satisfactory options. Both these blinds are electrically operated roller blinds that can cover widths up to 4.8m wide (Draper Flexshade 2) and an incredible 8.7m wide (the Draper Colossal)!

    Apparently smaller blinds can also be mechanically linked to act as one.

    Great many thanks obviously I did not delve deep enough into the site. Will enquire.

    Have got a reply from Waverley this morning. Unfortunately they only deal with contractors and on commercial projects.
    Search continues. Have asked if they know of someone who could assist.

    Yes, probably best to go through a contractor considering size, and electrics etc..
    If you have difficulty finding out, I could try and use my own business registration to find a commercial contractor in your area who may help. What area of the country are you?

    I am in Anglesey. Waverley have come back to me and suggested UMBRA who are based in S Wales, they have agents all over UK but Wales is poorly covered other than the South my nearest is Manchester area so exploring there at moment. The one quote I have got is in Liverpool so there is that to fall back on, just would be nice to have a choice. I have sent query to UMBRA as will be quicker than trawling through their dealers as not all I guess will do the full range. Many thanks for your offer, hang fire for now seeing as I have got a new lead.
