Roller blinds Brisbane

There is no honest number before someone measures the window, and any quote given over the phone is a guess you will pay for later. What moves the price is the width, the fabric, the tube size and whether it is a single or a double. A four-metre opening needing two blinds on a 60mm tube is a different job from a bedroom window, and the quote will say so line by line. The measure and the quote are free, there is no deposit to get a price, and the quote holds for 30 days.

About three metres. Past that we move to a 60mm tube to keep the roll straight, and past the tube the right answer is usually two blinds hung level on a shared line rather than one very wide one. Some fabrics can be railroaded — turned sideways so the roll’s width runs across the blind — which goes wider again, but it depends on the specific fabric, because the pattern and the coating have to survive the rotation. We check yours rather than quote a maximum.

Blockout fabric is coated and stops effectively all the light. Sunscreen is an open weave that cuts glare and UV while keeping the view, and it is sold by openness factor — the percentage of the weave that is hole rather than thread. We carry 1%, 3%, 5% and 10%. Lower blocks more and shows less; higher keeps the view. Neither gives you privacy and daylight at the same time after dark, which is why the double exists.

Two blinds run on one bracket, normally a sunscreen at the front and a blockout behind it, so you drop the sunscreen through the day and the blockout at night. The bracket projects 115mm on a Slimline-X and 122mm on a Square-X, with fabric clearance on top of that. If your reveal is shallower — common in older Queenslanders — the blind face-fixes to the architrave instead, which works perfectly well but changes the light gap and the stack. We confirm the final figure at the measure.

Two to three weeks from the check-measure to installation, and that date goes on the quote rather than being promised after the deposit. Motorisation adds about a week, more if power has to be run to the opening. Larger commercial spans sit at the top of the range. They are good-faith estimates, not a guarantee — but they are the numbers we work to.

Both, and everywhere between. We work the corridor from Byron Bay up to Brisbane — Ascot, Hamilton, Clayfield and New Farm on the north side, Bulimba, Camp Hill, Chelmer and West End on the south, plus Paddington and Toowong in between. There is no showroom visit required and we would rather come to you, because fabric behaves differently in your light than it does under a downlight.

We warrant our installation workmanship for 12 months from the date of installation, and the products carry their manufacturer’s warranty — between 12 months and 7 years depending on the system, componentry and fabric. Which period applies to your job is written on the quote. It covers the blind, not fair wear and tear, sun fade or a chain someone has hung off.
