The Polaris Grip Fit is a made-to-measure roller blind sold by So Easy Blinds, available in 161 colour options spanning plain shades, with the retailer offering a blackout-fabric version alongside a standard version for most of the palette. Starting from £98.55, it sits at the more considered end of the roller range, but the breadth of the colour-and-opacity choice is the real reason people land here - you can match your room tone and decide on opacity in a single range.
Who it suits
Bedrooms are the natural home for this range. Having a blackout version of nearly every colour - Oyster (Blackout), Grey (Blackout), Navy (Blackout) and so on - means you can match your decor without trading away light control. That matters in UK bedrooms, where early summer sunrises make a well-fitted blackout roller a genuine sleep aid. Note that a blackout fabric controls light through the material itself; edge-leak around the blind is a separate issue, and fitting inside a deep recess or using side channels will reduce it further.
The non-blackout versions of the same shades suit living rooms and kitchens where you want privacy without a heavily darkened room. Shades like Greige, Bark, and Cream work in neutral schemes; bolder options like Aqua, Coral, and Bubblegum are available if the palette calls for them. The range is less suited to bathrooms unless the specific fabric is described by the retailer as moisture-resistant - confirm this before ordering for a wet room.
Children's rooms are a reasonable application given the blackout options and the colour variety, but make sure you choose a cord-safe configuration. UK regulations require blinds sold for domestic use to include a cord-safety solution; check with So Easy Blinds which control options are available for this range.
The colours
161 colours available
The palette is structured around colour pairs: each shade appears in both a standard and a blackout version, giving the range twice the functional range of a single-opacity collection. The listed colours run from neutrals - Oyster, Cream, Cloud, Greige, Grey - through cooler tones like Aqua, Baby Blue, and Mint, into warmer options like Coral, Bark, and Cocoa, and some bolder choices including Emerald, Navy, and Bubblegum. A further 39 finishes exist beyond those shown, so the full collection is broader than the sample suggests - the retailer's own listing will show the complete set.
No finishes are marked as premium-priced within this range, which means the from-price applies consistently across the palette. That uniformity is useful when you are ordering for several rooms - there are no colour-driven price surprises once you have settled on the shades you want.

How it compares
The paired standard-and-blackout structure is the main differentiator here: you are not choosing between a neutral fabric range and a separate blackout range. If you only need opacity control in one or two rooms, a focused blackout-only range may be adequate. If you want a single range that spans multiple rooms with different opacity needs - bedroom blackout, living room standard - the Polaris palette covers both without switching suppliers or ranges.
For thermal performance, a standard roller fabric offers modest benefit; if reducing heat loss is the primary goal, a cellular or honeycomb blind is a more effective choice. For rooms where style variety matters more than opacity, a wider-pattern or printed roller range may offer more visual interest than the plain-colour Polaris palette.
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
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.
