    I'll repeat myself, but you can get romans in that size. And where? In my beloved website www*rolo-europa*co*uk, you just have to contact them as you won't be able to buy romans or sizes over 2 meters wide online. But they do make them if asked!

    I've yet to come across a roller/venetian/roman blind that is 2.4m wide and 2m high, sometimes there aren't any other options than vertical blinds for some windows

    Becles, wood verticles sound like they might be nice. It's the textured fabric ones I don't like.

    And the OP did ask, so we answered. Not rude at all.

    Ok then, customer feedback, if you can offer something, advertise it on your website, then people won't just go to the next website assuming you can't....

    I prefer curtains ;-) but I like vertical blinds too. I *hate* venetian blinds, especially wood ones <shudder>.

    Woby Tide, I bought roller blinds for the huge bay window at our old flat from www.blinds.co.uk. The largest one was 240 wide by 250 drop, and it was about £70 I think.

    Eva223, enough of the spam thank you. You've made 5 posts, every single one of them is promoting that website, I think we've all got the message now.
    When I had my loft converted back into a loft, the neighbours came around and scoffed, and called me retro.
