Ballauff Pinoleum Blinds will be exhibiting at R+T, Messe Stuttgart, in February.

On show will be the new 2006 range.

There are seven new designs that have been created for the Shades of Nature collection: Jade, jute and outside peel jute; Wallis, bamboo stick and outside peel jute; Tonga (pictured above) twisting rope and bamboo; Vanuatu, bamboo and Marquises N, bamboo mini reeds.

A number of different finishes, from staining to painting, interleaving different colours and shapes of reed, and different thread patterns, all go to make the pinoleum blind so unique.

Pinoleum is also highly versatile when it comes to the type of blind that can be fabricated. As the fabric can be supplied either as made-up blinds or on rolls, your blind maker can select the option that best suits each individual project.

Whilst the typical use is for either straightforward roll-up or roman blinds, other less conventional options are available.
