Often, yes. Ask us when you book your free home visit and we will check the fabric is suitable.

We recommend faux wood or aluminium for bathrooms because real wood can warp in steam. Faux wood looks almost identical and wipes clean.

Not at all. Modern fabrics, textures and slim headrails make vertical blinds a smart, practical choice for wide glass, and they remain one of the best value options.

Yes. Melbourne weather changes quickly, and outdoor blinds let you keep using your alfresco or balcony through wind, rain and summer sun.

Zip track blinds are outdoor blinds whose fabric edges are zipped into side channels, so the blind stays taut, seals out insects and holds up in strong wind. We supply and fit zip track systems in clear PVC, mesh and canvas, with crank, spring or motorised operation.

Zip track outdoor blinds lock into side channels so they stay taut and quiet in strong wind. We will recommend the right system for how exposed your area is.

Plantation shutter prices depend on the material (hardwood, MDF or waterproof ABS), the size and number of windows, and the style, such as full height or tier on tier. Because every set is made to measure, we give you an exact written price at a free home visit, with no obligation.

Shutters are made to order. We will give you an expected fitting date when we confirm your quote.

Yes. We supply and fit poles and tracks, including bay tracks and motorised tracks, as part of your order.
