The Unilux PVC range from Swift Direct Blinds is a made-to-measure roller blind offered in 28 shades, starting from £28.00. It is the simplest blind style - a flat fabric panel on a tube - in a PVC-coated, blackout fabric that wipes clean and tolerates moisture, across a palette that runs from quiet neutrals to a handful of brights.
Who it suits
Roller blinds are the most straightforward style: one flat panel that winds onto a tube, with no slats to tilt and no folds to settle. The Unilux PVC fabric adds two useful properties to that simplicity. It is blackout, so it blocks daylight, and being PVC-coated it wipes clean and handles moisture, which makes it a sensible choice for kitchens and bathrooms as well as bedrooms.
That combination suits rooms with competing needs: a bedroom that wants the room dark for sleep, a bathroom that needs a blind it can wipe down, or a kitchen where steam and splashes rule out a soft fabric. With a single fabric type across the whole range, the choice here is about colour rather than opacity, since every shade is blackout. That consistency is helpful when you are fitting several rooms at once: you can pick different colours for a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen knowing each will block light and wipe clean in the same way. Bear in mind that a recess-mounted roller leaves a small light gap down each side, so even a blackout fabric admits a little light around the edges unless the blind is fitted to overlap the opening.
The colours
28 colours available
The Unilux PVC collection is the broadest of these ranges, spanning blues (Lava, Marine, Imperial Blue, Surf Blue), greys (Anthracite, Grey, Granite), creams (Butter Cream, Cream, Linen), greens (Lime, Jade), a black and a white across its fourteen shades. That gives a solid run of practical neutrals for everyday rooms alongside a few brighter accent shades for spaces where colour is the point. Every shade is blackout, so the decision is purely about tone against your scheme. Colour can look quite different on a screen against a sunlit window, so request a sample of your chosen shade before ordering a full-sized blind.

The range sits at a low entry point, which is in keeping with PVC blackout rollers being among the more affordable made-to-measure options. The brighter shades carry no meaningful premium over the neutrals, so the choice is about the look you want rather than the budget; the final price depends mainly on the width and drop you measure.
How it compares
Against an aluminium venetian, the Unilux PVC roller gives a true blackout that a slatted blind cannot - venetians always leak some light between slats - while keeping a similar wipe-clean, moisture-tolerant character for kitchens and bathrooms. Against a fabric roman, this roller is plainer but far easier to clean and better suited to steamy rooms. If you want a darkening, wipe-clean blind for a bedroom, kitchen or bathroom in a wide choice of colours, Unilux PVC covers the brief straightforwardly.
A note on care
PVC-coated rollers are among the easiest blinds to maintain. Wipe the fabric with a damp cloth to lift dust, marks and kitchen grease; a little mild detergent handles heavier soiling. Avoid abrasive cloths that could scuff the coating, and let the fabric dry fully before rolling it back up. The wipe-clean surface is the main reason this style holds up well in moisture-prone rooms, where a soft, woven fabric would absorb steam and mark more easily. With no slats to dust individually and no pleats to clear, upkeep is minimal beyond that occasional wipe.
Likely the same fabric, at other retailers
Aqualuxe roller blinds are sold under the same name by more than one UK retailer, and the price scales identically across window sizes - a strong sign it is the same fabric from the same supplier:
- Roller Blinds Direct from £8.91
- Blinds Direct from £9.82
- Wilsons Blinds from £10.48
- Blinds By Post from £14.38
- Swift Direct Blinds this page from £28.00
- So Easy Blinds from £52.42
We match these on the shared name and an identical price curve, not an independent inspection, so treat it as likely the same fabric rather than confirmed - and check the specification and colour at each retailer before buying.
