Frequently Asked Questions

Please keep in mind that blinds can get heavy and wear on the componentry the bigger they are. We have our maximum measurements loaded into the Quote Tool and if your blind falls outside of this we recommend that you split the blind in two and we create one pelmet that sits across the front of the blind.

In some instances will can manufacture the blinds at larger sizes but we don’t recommend it. The one pelmet solution still looks stylish and it gives you added control over the light in the room. It will also mean that the componentry will last a lot longer as it doesn’t have such a weight on it.

Here are the measurements:

Aluminium 25mm:

500mm (width) x 500mm (drop) up to 3000mm (width) x 3000mm (drop)

Roller blinds:

From 600mm (width) to 3100mm (width) and from 900mm (drop) to 3000mm (drop)

Again please put your specific measurements into the quote tool as not all measurements in between are recommended.

Yes of course! Just let us know when you’re submitting a quote, having a measurement or ordering via the phone how long you would like the controls to be.

Unfortunately our reps only service the Auckland Area but we do have agents that service the rest of New Zealand. Find agent in your region.

We will do our best to fix them. We have a lot of experience in-house and will try to sort it out for you (we want our blinds to look their best too!). We can shave millimetres of the side and reduce the blinds in length if necessary to make them fit. If you realise you have given us the wrong measurements closer to the completion date or on installation we can remake your blind at a discounted cost.

Reverse Roll is our most common and is described as 'The Waterfall Effect' - this roll is perfect for any style of window as it allows a gap between the fabric and the window allowing for protruding handles or latches. It looks the most seamless.

Regular Roll is where the fabric rolls directly on to the window as much as possible. This roll will show through the componentry when looking straight on at the Blind.

The only true thermal blockout roller blinds on the market has a silver backing facing the window. Cold air will still come in around the sides if mounted inside the window frame and potentially through the top of the blind between the roll and the top of the architrave. The fabric used is very complex and gloves have to be worn to even work with it. It is also extremely expensive. Our blockout blinds are as thermal as any of the others on the market. They have a PVC backing to them that keeps the heat in/the cold out and they provide a good level of insulation. No blind solution will be as good as a curtain, however blockouts would be the next best thing.
