Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our blinds and flyscreens.
Blinds
Do I need exact measurements for a quote?
No. Approximate sizes are fine for an estimate. Before we make your blinds, we always come and take the final measurements, so you don’t need to worry about getting them perfect.
What's the difference between blockout, sunscreen and dual blinds?
- Blockout blocks out light – ideal for bedrooms and media rooms.
- Sunscreen lets you see outside while giving you daytime privacy and reducing glare, heat and sun damage to your furniture.
- Dual blinds put both on one window: sunscreen for the day, blockout for the night.
Can you come and measure for me?
Yes. Just send us your address and a few times that suit you, and we’ll arrange a visit. This visit is the final measure for your order.
How much is installation?
For Christchurch and nearby areas, final measuring and installation are free for orders over $1,000. For orders under $1,000, a fee of $70 (incl. GST) applies. For areas further out, installation starts from $100 (incl. GST) – we’ll confirm the exact amount with your quote.
Can I pick up my blinds and install them myself?
Yes – collection from our showroom is free. For pick-up orders, please send us the exact width and height measured inside the window frame. Don’t add or take anything off; we’ll make the adjustments.
Do you deliver outside Christchurch?
Yes, we can send your blinds anywhere in New Zealand. A delivery charge applies, based on the size and weight of the box. Once you’ve chosen your blinds and how many you need, we’ll let you know the delivery cost.
How long does it take?
- Roller, sunscreen, dual and vision blinds: 5–10 business days from when we receive your deposit.
- Venetian and honeycomb blinds: about 3–4 weeks from your deposit.
- Curtains: 4 weeks or more from your deposit.
How do I go ahead with my order?
Once you’re happy with your quote, please pay a 50% deposit by bank transfer and send us a screenshot. We’ll confirm your order straight away and arrange a time for the final measure. The remaining balance is due before installation or collection.
Can I see colours and samples?
Yes. Visit our showroom to see the full range, ask us for our digital colour chart, or we can bring samples when we come to measure.
Do you offer motorised blinds?
Yes. Our motorised blinds are rechargeable. Each motorised blind is ordered together with a remote and a charger. If you’d like to control your blinds from your phone, an app hub is available separately. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through the options.
Do I need an appointment to visit the showroom?
No appointment needed. We’re open Monday to Friday, 9:00am–4:30pm (closed weekends), at 103B Main South Road, Sockburn, Christchurch.
Flyscreens
Which flyscreen is right for my door or window?
- Pleated – hinged doors, French doors, sliding and stacker doors, bifold doors and most standard windows.
- Magnetic – most windows, including awning, casement and sliding windows.
- Retractable – awning and casement windows.
Can you fit a flyscreen to a fixed window?
Flyscreens are fitted to the opening parts of your doors and windows only, not to fixed panes.
How do I get a quote?
Send us a photo of your door or window. We’ll mark where to measure, you send us the approximate sizes, and we’ll send you a quote.
How much is installation?
Installation is free for flyscreen orders over $2,000. For orders under $2,000, installation is $100 (incl. GST).

How long does it take?
