Most frequently asked questions (FAQ)
We can only look at repairing blinds which are ours. That is, we do not repair blinds made or sold by any other company.
Also, we do not repair blinds more than 7 years old.
Even in these cases, it is often a more cost-effective option to get new blinds. You may bring the blinds into your nearest showroom, or we can come out to visit you.
Yes, we do sell Security Doors and Curtains but we don't sell Flyscreens.
There is no such thing. Windows come in a huge range of sizes. We must have accurate measurements to start with.
Everything we make is made to measure to the millimetre so it is difficult to give you a “square metre rate” or “piece rate”. The main determinants of price are fabric and textile finishes and these are grouped from lowest to highest, so a “group 1″ material will be the cheapest. Our design consultant can give you an exact costing in your home or you can get an approximation at our showrooms.

We require 50% deposit to initiate an order. The balance is due prior to installation. We accept all major credit cards as well as bank cheque, money order and cash. Some showrooms have eftpos access. We can also take your order over the phone with your credit card or you can mail in your payment to your local store. If there are any alterations to the order these will need to be clarified prior to placing the order as it may affect the price.
Once you make an appointment for a sales agent to come and give a free in home consultation you will be offered the next available day. The sales agent should then contact you the evening before or the morning of the appointment to confirm a time with you. The installers will also confirm a time on the morning of the allocated installation day usually by 9:30am.
Each product has a different lead-time however we try and coordinate all products in to one convenient delivery. In some situations it may be desirable for you to split the order so as to obtain some products ahead of others. Your sales agent or showroom consultant will be able to advise you of the lead-times for each product. Remember to have any existing window coverings down prior to the installation of your new blinds (unless alternative arrangements have been made).
Although blinds have various uses within the home, there is one primary function that stands out above all the others and is the main reason why we need to purchase blinds: for privacy.
Roller Blinds are a great option if you’re looking for privacy, Blocking out daylight, blackout blinds are available in a range of various different colours and styles.
We'll share ideas of what we think may work best for you and we'll take some time to discuss and find the best solution to meet your needs.

Once everything is ready, fitting the blinds is fairly quick. Times may vary from job to job but as an average, Blind 1 will generally take 20 – 30 minutes including bringing everything in. Every blind after that will take 10 -15 minutes.
Generally speaking, lighter blinds are preferred in the living areas of the home – the living room, dining room and kitchen.
The reason, primarily, is that plenty of light is needed in these areas. Also, it’s unlikely that you’ll be sleeping in these rooms so there’s no need to block light.
If you prefer to create a light, bright area, it’s always advised to choose white, cream or light colours for your window coverings.
This does not only allow for more light to enter the room, but it also creates a softer, lighter overall look and feel.

The simple answer is no, not by day. During the day when the light is greater outside, you have a very clear vision but no one can see in. This effect is reversed by night.
