Aluminium Roller is a hard-wearing, light-reflective roller blind fabric finished to give the impression of brushed or metallic aluminium. The surface is typically smooth polyester with a metallic sheen, making it a practical choice for kitchens, home offices, and any room where a clean, modern look is preferred over a softer textile feel.
Four retailers stock a range under this name - Make My Blinds, Swift Direct Blinds, Blinds By Post, and 247 Blinds. The first three carry colour families that overlap significantly: tones like Anthracite, Charcoal, Silver, and perforated variants appear across more than one site, suggesting the core cloth is likely the same wholesale fabric sold through different routes. Prices scale in the same direction as the window grows, which is a further sign the underlying material is comparable.
The 247 Blinds offer differs noticeably: their 19 colours are all labelled "Obscura Honeycomb", pointing to a cellular or structured fabric construction rather than a plain roller cloth. If you are after the flat metallic finish the other three carry, check the product detail carefully before ordering from that retailer.
Where the retailers genuinely diverge is in colour depth and fitting options. Make My Blinds carries the widest palette at 78 colours, including a broad Stickfitlite and shimmer range alongside the standard metallics. Swift Direct Blinds offers 57 colours with a solid mid-range selection. Blinds By Post and 247 Blinds are more focused at 19 colours each.
On fittings, Make My Blinds supports no-drill, standard, stick-on, and perfect-fit options. Swift Direct covers no-drill, standard, and stick-on. Blinds By Post offers stick-on and perfect-fit only. 247 Blinds is stick-on only.
Because the fabric is effectively fixed once you have chosen a retailer, the decision comes down to which colour appeals, which fittings suit your window type, and which site prices most competitively at the exact width and drop you need - the "from" price rarely reflects what you will pay at a larger size.

We match these on the shared name and a price that scales the same way across window sizes, not an independent inspection, so treat it as likely the same fabric rather than confirmed. Construction, exact colourway and fitting can vary between retailers - check the specification at each before buying.
