Wipeable Roller Blinds for Kitchens | Made to Measure UK
Wipeable roller blinds are made-to-measure roller blinds in a fabric you can clean with a damp cloth, which makes them one of the most practical choices for a kitchen. These blinds were recently fitted in a modern kitchen by Hermis Blinds: a clean, minimal look that handles splashes, steam and everyday use.
What makes a roller blind “wipeable”?
A wipeable (or wipe-clean) roller blind uses a fabric with a smooth, coated finish. Marks and splashes sit on the surface instead of soaking in, so you can wipe them away. Ordinary woven fabrics soak up grease and moisture, which is why they are a poor fit for the area around a hob or sink.
Why roller blinds suit kitchens
- Easy to keep clean: a wipe-clean fabric takes seconds to clean, with no slats to dust.
- Simple, compact design: roller blinds sit neatly in a window recess and leave worktops and sills clear.
- Light and privacy control: choose a light-filtering fabric for a bright kitchen, or a blackout fabric where you want more privacy.
- Made to measure: every blind is cut to your exact window size, with no gaps at the sides.
Wipeable roller blinds vs other kitchen blinds
Roller blinds are not the only practical choice. Here is how the common options compare for a kitchen:
| Kitchen blind | Cleaning | Light control | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wipeable roller blind | Wipe with a damp cloth | Fixed, set by fabric | Clean, minimal look, splash zones |
| Faux wood Venetian | Wipe each slat | Adjustable by tilting slats | Steamy kitchens, wood look |
| Metal Venetian | Wipe each slat | Adjustable by tilting slats | Practical, modern, slim profile |
| Roman blind | Harder to clean; keep away from splashes | Fixed, softened by folds | Dining areas away from the hob |
How to clean wipeable roller blinds
- Lower the blind fully so the whole fabric is flat.
- Dust it first with a dry cloth or a vacuum brush on a low setting.
- Wipe with a soft cloth dampened in warm water and a little mild soap, working in one direction.
- Wipe again with a cloth dampened in clean water, then pat dry.
- Let the blind dry fully before rolling it up, so no moisture is trapped in the roll.
Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads, which can mark the finish.
Choosing the right wipeable roller blind for your kitchen
- Near a hob or sink: a wipeable fabric is best here. Ask us about positioning so the blind sits clear of heat and splashes.
- Inside or outside the recess: inside the recess looks neat and leaves the sill clear. We measure and advise on the best fit for each window.
- Child safety: blind cords must be kept out of reach of children. Read our guide to blind cord safety in the UK, and ask us about chainless and cordless options.
