The Palette FR Grip Fit Roller Blind is a made-to-measure roller sold by So Easy Blinds with a Grip Fit no-drill fitting and a fabric the retailer describes as fire-retardant. Across 58 plain colours and a from-price of £98.55, it sits at the upper end of the roller blind market - the price premium reflects the Grip Fit hardware and the FR fabric designation rather than any unusually wide colour range.

Who it suits

Grip Fit is So Easy Blinds' proprietary no-drill fitting system for UPVC double-glazed windows, broadly analogous to other clip-in frame systems in the market. It attaches to the window without screws, making it a practical option for rental properties or for anyone unwilling to drill into UPVC. The usual caveat applies: this fitting works on UPVC windows with compatible gasket profiles and adequate recess depth; wooden or aluminium frames are not suited to it.

The opacity class is not stated by the retailer for this range - unlike the Banlight Duo FR from the same retailer, the Palette is not marketed as blackout. Confirm the light-control level with So Easy Blinds before ordering if you need dimout or blackout performance. On that basis, the range is likely a better fit for living rooms, kitchens, or home offices where privacy and some light management matter, rather than bedrooms where full darkness is the goal. If blackout is a firm requirement, look at So Easy Blinds' blackout-specific lines first.

The fire-retardant designation may be relevant for rental properties or commercial installations where fabric FR ratings are specified; confirm the exact certification with So Easy Blinds for any formal compliance purpose.

Twenty-eight plain colours span the expected neutrals with some more characterful additions. The grey family is well-represented: Charcoal, Grey, Pale Grey, Stone Grey, Ultimate Grey, Concrete, and Iron provide a range of depths. Whites run from Bright White to Pearl and Cream, with Calico adding a slightly warmer off-white. Beige-adjacent tones include Biscotti, Sand, and Taupe. Blues cover Sky, Glacier Blue, Denim, Teal, and the deeper Navy. Greens appear as Desert Sage, Green, and Spring. Copper adds a warm metallic tone; Dijon and Baby Lavender provide more unusual accent options, alongside Redcurrant at the warm red end and Iris for a grey-leaning purple.

The palette tilts towards the functional and neutral, with enough colour choice to match most interiors without any of the bolder directional options that would narrow appeal. There are no patterns or prints; this is a plain-colour range throughout.

How it compares

The Palette FR's value proposition is the combination of a no-drill UPVC fitting and a fire-retardant fabric in a practical plain-colour range. Against standard bracket-fixed rollers, it costs more - but avoids drilling and the Grip Fit hardware sits close to the glass, reducing edge-leak compared with a roller mounted on the wall above the window.

Compared with the Banlight Duo FR from the same retailer - which combines Perfect Fit, blackout fabric, and a similar price tier - the Palette FR lacks the blackout specification. If both no-drill and blackout matter, the Banlight is the stronger option. The Palette FR makes most sense where the no-drill fitting is needed but full blackout is not, or where the FR rating is a specific requirement and the buyer prefers the colour or price point here.

For rooms where neither no-drill nor FR ratings are priorities, a standard made-to-measure roller with bracket fitting will cost less at similar plain-colour breadth.

Fittings for this fabric

The same fabric and blind type is sold in more than one fitting:

  • Standard from £34.57 fixed with drilled brackets
  • No-drill (twist-fit) from £98.55 about +£64 on the standard blind clips onto a UPVC frame, no screws
  • Perfect Fit from £76.05 a clip-in frame for UPVC windows and doors

No-drill and clip-in fittings suit UPVC windows and renters, but they cap out at the largest window sizes - check the maximum drop before ordering for a tall window.
