Curtains
What rooms are roller blinds most suitable for?
Roller blinds are suitable for many rooms or areas around the home (or office). Their ease of installation, use and care, plus their durability and capability to control light and temperature make them a great all-rounder!
What are the key benefits of blockout roller blinds?
Blockout roller blinds significantly reduce the amount of light entering a room making them a cost effective solution for room darkening, temperature control and privacy. The simple chain control mechanism is also super easy to install and operate, providing a quick acting solution. When supplied as part of a double roller blind, the blockout is fitted to the front with the light-filtering blind to the rear, providing a flexible solution, day or night.
Are roller blinds easy to install?
Yes, very. You just need to screw (or drill) a couple of mounting brackets to the window frame or surrounding wall, clip in the blind, secure the chain and you're done! We recommend heading to our Measure & Install page to watch our 'How to install roller blinds' video to see just how simple it is.
How do I clean my roller blinds?
Cleaning roller blinds involves dusting them with a feather duster or vacuum cleaner, spot cleaning stains with a mild detergent and water solution, rinsing with clean water, air drying thoroughly, and maintaining regular dusting to keep them clean and fresh. For heavy stains, consider professional cleaning or following the manufacturer's instructions for washing.
How do I clean my blockout roller blinds?
If you spill something on or mark your roller blinds, you will need to spot clean the area concerned as soon as possible. Use a clean cloth, warm water and mild detergent on the affected area. Please dab the area rather than rubbing. Avoid using harsh scouring pads and chemicals on the fabric and always leave the damp blind to air-dry. We also recommend a regular light dusting to avoid dust and dirt build-up.
Do I need to install the child safety device?
Yes, installing the supplied child safety device is required to secure the loose chain for all chain operated blinds. Instructions for child safety device installation are provided with your product (please check inside the box) or can be found in the relevant section of our website.
Can I remove my roller blind?
Yes, you can. First ensure the blind is fully and firmly rolled up. Then, turn the clear plastic wheel in the idle end of the blind (this will only turn one way) until there is a click indicating the pin is fully retracted. You will now be able to remove the roller and fabric skin of the blind from the brackets.
Can I order motorised roller blinds?
Yes, in some cases you can. If you're looking at our roller blind products, any of the ranges called "Express" can be motorised. We will be adding more styles to this Express range in the coming months.
Who supplies your motorised roller blind parts?
We currently supply motorised roller blinds using parts from two partners, Rollease Acmeda and Eve Motionblinds. Rollease Acmeda supply our remote control motorisation parts and Eve Motionblinds supply our smart home motorisation parts. Each have their own benefits based on the users needs. Both suppliers have a well-established reputation for durability, ease of use and cost-efficiency, meaning our motorised roller blinds customers get a great outcome whichever option they choose.
How loud are your motorised rollers?
The noise generated by the motor is not intrusive, however, it will vary based on blind size and the settings used. Quiet operation mode is available when the blind control is on the lowest speed setting (which is typically the case for smaller to mid-sized blinds).
What instructions do you provide with motorised roller blinds?
Along with our standard roller blind assembly and installation instructions, every motorised roller blind comes with additional instructions explaining how to set up and use the blind and associated items. Of course, if you run into any difficulties, we're always happy to help!
How long does the rechargeable battery last in motorised roller blinds?
The included lithium-ion battery recharge frequency will vary based on blind size and frequency of use. However, generally speaking, we would expect at least 3 and up to 6 months between charges for an average sized blind (i.e., 1.5m x 1.5m).
What warranty do you offer on motorised blinds?
We provide a two-year warranty on all blinds. For motorised blinds, we also offer a further three year warranty on the motor component (only).
Why do you have minimum and maximum blinds widths and drops?
We have minimum widths and drops for our blinds due to the nature of manufacturing. It is not feasible for us to make blinds that are too small. Our maximum widths and drops are in place as blind fabric cannot be sewn together to create a bigger piece of fabric to work with like some of our curtain fabric can. Thus, we are limited by the supplied rolls of fabric that we have and are generally not able to accommodate anything larger.
My blinds seem to have creases, can I get rid of them?
Horizontal lines may appear on the roller blind fabric due to their packaging. These will fade once the blind has been hanging fully extended for at least 3 days. In the event this issue persists, please contact us for further guidance.
Can I switch my chain to be on the other side?
Yes, it just requires a small adjustment to your roller blind's control drive. We recommend reviewing the detailed guide on our measure and installation page, or contact us for advice.
How do I cover a wide window or sliding doors with blinds?
To achieve this you will need to measure the total width and divide it by the number of blinds required to cover it. For example, our roller blind width's max out between 2700 - 2900mm, so if you have a wide window of 6300mm, you will need to order 3 roller blinds at a width of 2100mm each (don't worry about deducting anything from each width, we'll do that for you).
If you intend to have blinds fitted side-by-side, there are two operation options to choose from, dependent or independent. Dependent operation requires all blinds move in unison when operated by a single chain. Independent operation means each blind can be operated by its own chain (handy if you have an opening at one end of the window) - although the gaps between each blind will be larger to allow room for the chain control mechanisms.
When ordering each blind for a side-by-side configuration, please mention in your order notes how you would like your operation to be set up, either dependently or independently. Once we have your order, we'll get in touch to confirm before proceeding.
Why do I need to measure in three places?
When measuring for blinds, it's essential to measure in three places—top, middle, and bottom—for both width and height. This ensures you get the most accurate fit, as windows can often be slightly irregular or not perfectly square.
What do you charge for delivery?
For orders of over $199 value, we offer free delivery to most Australian metro locations. This excludes shutter orders, which cannot be shipped for free due to the parcel sizes and weights involved. Delivery costs for shutter orders are calculated at checkout before payment is required.
For orders of less than $199 value or for orders being shipped to outer metro and regional areas (outside of the Northern Territory and Tasmania), we charge a modest $50 flat fee. Orders dispatched to the Northern Territory and Tasmania carry a standard fee of $150.
We want to be as transparent as possible with our shipping costs, so please review our ‘Delivery & Returns’ page before ordering.
How long does an order take to arrive?
On average, our curtain orders take between 4 - 6 weeks to make and deliver. With blinds, this can be a little faster, typically 3 weeks. Due to the relative complexity and size, Shutters take around 8 weeks.
What is your returns policy?
As all our products are custom made-to-measure, we do not accept returns. However, in the rare event something with your order doesn't meet your expectations, we will always work with you to make it right. Please visit our 'Terms & Conditions' page to review our returns and warranty information in full.
Can I track my order progress and delivery?
Yes, absolutely. Once your order has moved into production, we will notify you. Then, when your order has been dispatched, we will send you a further email notification with the shipping and tracking information included. If you are looking for an update on the status of an order that has not been shipped, feel free to get in touch and we can provide an on-the-spot update by phone or email.
What payment options do you offer?
We accept Visa and Mastercard as credit card payment but not American Express. PayPal, Afterpay and Zip Pay are all available as well. A direct bank transfer payment can be arranged if no other payment options are possible. Please contact us if you'd like to discuss your payment options.
Do you ship curtains and blinds separately?
Yes, we do. Some of our blinds are manufactured at different factories with their own completion schedules and as we always ship our products as soon as they are ready, you’ll likely receive two separate order deliveries, even if you ordered your curtains and blinds together. You will also receive dedicated tracking information for each consignment. If you only receive one part of your order, don’t worry, the other will be close behind. As always, feel free to contact us if you’d like an update on your order delivery status.
How to measure for bay windows?
Bay windows can be a little tricky at time. Please email through a photo of your bay windows to our service team. We can let you know what furnishings we’d recommend. There are also 'How to' guides on measuring for bay windows in our ‘Measure and Install’ area.
Do you provide a measuring and installation service?
We're able to keep the price of our curtains and blinds so low because our customers do their own measuring and installation! However, our website offers a wealth of detailed information on how to measure and install, and we're very happy to talk you through the entire process by phone or email.
Can you make blinds that fit into corner facing windows?
We sure can! Please get in contact with us if you have 2 blinds within a corner. We will need to clarify a few details with you to ensure we make the correct amendments to your measurements and supply perfectly fitting blinds.
Do I need to make any deductions?
Nope! So long as you make the correct style selections when customising your order, we'll take care of all the deductions. This includes the track height, finished position and curtain fullness.
