Let your shading speak your language: Custom-printed fabrics in your own design

28. 12. 2025 Sun protection

There comes a moment in every interior when you catch yourself thinking: “Something’s missing here.” Maybe it’s a colour. Maybe an original idea. Or maybe it’s that one element that connects functionality and visual style into a cohesive whole. What if you could design your roller blinds, shades or panel walls so they perfectly match the atmosphere you want to create? No compromises. No endless searching through catalogues. Simply—your way.

The answer comes with professional fabric printing, which allows you to give your shading systems a custom design, brand identity or unique visual detail. What was once the domain of advertising banners has become a way to transform an ordinary window into a truly personal design element with unique character.

From necessity to creative freedom

It all started with a practical need. Architects required specific colours that weren’t available in standard collections, and companies wanted shading systems that matched their corporate identity. Custom fabric printing became the solution to precise design requirements that standard offerings couldn't cover.

Today, homeowners are discovering the same possibilities. Every interior has its own atmosphere - parents choose printed children’s motifs for kids’ rooms, designers coordinate patterns with furniture, and homeowners solve facade aesthetics by having all blinds the same color on the outside while matching the style of individual rooms on the inside.

Modern technology enables printing in exact RAL or NCS shades, photographs or logos. You can create a design that perfectly harmonise with the rest of the space. Whether you want to fine-tune corporate spaces according to your brand guidelines or add a personal touch to your living room, fabric printing offers a way to give your interior a truly individual signature.

How high-quality fabric printing is made at Bematech

Behind every perfect fabric print stands a combination of top technology, precise color calibration, and years of real-world testing. At Bematech, we rely on modern advanced latex printing, which brings not only high quality but also health safety and environmental friendliness.

Professional printing begins with precise color calibration using x-Rite spectrophotometers. These devices ensure that the printed color matches requirements with precision that the human eye can't distinguish - crucial especially for corporate colors.

Large-format HP Latex 570 and HP Latex 1500 printers combined with latex and UV-resistant inks can apply virtually any design to textile materials with photographic quality. Colors are "baked" directly into the fabric structure - the result is a highly durable motif that retains its colors even after years of use.

A major advantage of this technology is its health safety. Latex inks contain no volatile compounds, have no odour, and release no harmful substances. Thanks to this, UV-resistant prints are suitable even for the most sensitive spaces - bedrooms, children's rooms, schools, and healthcare environments.

Design that lasts longer than one season

Beautiful design is just the beginning. If a printed fabric is to be used daily and exposed to sunlight, the result must be technically perfect.

Long-term color stability is key for us. We thoroughly test all materials and the printing itself in real conditions - directly on our own windows. Only long-term exposure to UV radiation, rain, and temperature changes can reveal the true durability of both the fabric and the print.

The results speak clearly: motifs don't fade even after years in the sun, printing is safe on people and the environment, and allows printing even on delicate or natural fabrics, including linen textures. The combination of modern latex technology with careful testing ensures vibrant colors, perfect details, and long-term color stability that lasts much longer than just one season.

Where can custom printing be applied?

Thanks to modern printing technologies, you can design your own look for virtually any shading element - whether for interiors or commercial spaces.

FABRIC ROLLER BLINDS (standard and cassette) with a fully personalised design
VERTICAL BLINDS with each slat printed according to your vision
CEILING SHADING for large-format glazed areas and atriums
PANEL WALLS for modern interiors and offices
Illuminated panels with backlighting for stunning atmosphere
Wallpapers, banners, shop windows, and advertising applications for commercial use

Different types of materials offer different visual results - from perfectly sharp images on smooth technical fabrics to soft, naturally appearing effects on textured textiles. The final look can be minimalist, playful or absolutely unique.

Unexpected applications: Where you'll find printed blinds

Custom-printed fabrics are far more versatile than you might think at first glance. The most visible are bespoke custom printed blinds in commercial spaces - shops use them as an extended billboard and restaurants to create atmosphere. But applications go much further.

Architectural challenges

Architects often face situations where standard simply isn't enough. They need a precise shade that fits into the overall building concept, or conversely want to create a contrasting element.

Solutions for historic buildings

In heritage-protected buildings, the original facade appearance must be preserved. Printing allows creating blinds that look historic from the outside but can be modern and functional on the inside

Creative home projects

More and more people are discovering blind printing as a way to personalise their interiors without hiring a designer—achieving something truly original.

Double-sided printing and the Fusion collection

One of the most fascinating possibilities of current printing is double-sided printing. This technology allows you to have a discreet white or grey exterior that blends seamlessly with the façade, while the interior side carries a bold pattern or corporate branding. Double-sided printing also solves practical issues. With blackout fabrics, a white back side is often used that reflects thermal radiation and reduces air conditioning costs. The front side can meanwhile carry any design according to interior requirements - combining the best of both functional and aesthetic worlds.

You don't need to be a graphic designer to have stunning blinds. Our designers have created the Fusion collection - original patterns that combine timeless style, delicate elegance, and easy combinability with a wide range of interiors.

Whether you prefer clean lines, organic textures, or natural inspiration - the Fusion collection is ready to use and can be applied to transparent, translucent and blackout fabrics. Each pattern is designed to stand out on its own as well as part of a more complex design solution.

Personality begins in the details

Shading systems don't have to be purey functional - they can be a visually powerful element that defines the character of an entire space. Custom-printed fabrics open possibilities for bringing personality into spaces without structural changes. In a time when we're trying to create spaces that inspire us and reflect our personality, even such an "ordinary" thing as custom blind design can be part of the story our home tells. Personality begins in the details - and it's often the smallest elements that make the biggest difference.
