Before you hire

Most blinds and curtain businesses in New Zealand measure, make and install, so the quote you compare is for the whole job, not the fabric. Ask whether measuring and installation are included, what the lead time is from order to fitting, and what happens if a made-to-measure blind arrives the wrong size, because custom goods are hard to return. If you have young children, ask for cordless or wand-operated blinds: a mandatory safety standard for corded window coverings was announced in June 2026 and will apply to new products after a one-year transition.

Before you hire a blinds and curtain installer in Christchurch

Drawn from 630 customer reviews collected for this page. The first answer is what it costs.

What do made-to-measure blinds and curtains typically cost in New Zealand? expand_more

Basic made-to-measure roller blinds run from around $80 to $200 per window for supply and install. Blockout or dual roller blinds sit closer to $150 to $350 per window, depending on fabric and window size. Lined curtain pairs for a single window fall between $200 and $600 installed, with premium fabrics and pinch pleat styles pushing costs higher. Plantation shutters are the most expensive option, from around $800 to $1,500 per window for PVC or composite, with timber costing more still.

What protects me when I order custom blinds or curtains, and are corded blinds safe? expand_more

The Consumer Guarantees Act covers made-to-measure goods: your blinds must be of acceptable quality, fit for the purpose you described, and match any sample shown. You cannot return a correctly made custom product because you changed your mind, so confirm measurements, fabric, colour and control side in writing before paying any deposit, and ask the business directly what they do if a blind arrives the wrong size. A mandatory product safety standard for corded window coverings was announced on 30 June 2026 by the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Cameron Brewer, to be made under the Fair Trading Act 1986, accepting the Australian, Canadian, EU and US standards, with a one-year transition period once regulations are made and applying to newly supplied products only, so it is not yet in force as of late 2026. Eight children have died from cord strangulation in New Zealand since 2008, so MBIE Product Safety guidance recommends cordless, wand or motorised blinds where young children live, and fitting cord cleats or tensioners to any existing corded blinds you keep.

How do I choose between blinds, curtains and shutters for warmth and light? expand_more

Blockout roller blinds work well for bedrooms where you need full darkness, but lined curtains hung close to the wall and fitted with a pelmet reduce heat loss more effectively, making them the better insulation upgrade in an older New Zealand home. Sunscreen roller blinds suit living areas where you want glare control without losing the view, and several reviewers noted that getting the right fabric opacity was the decision that mattered most once installed. Shutters are the durable premium option and handle both light control and longevity well, but the per-window cost is high, so they suit rooms where you want a permanent, low-maintenance solution rather than a whole-house approach.

What are the warning signs of a blinds or curtain company you should not use? expand_more
  • –A large upfront deposit with no written confirmation of lead time, fabric choice or measurements is a red flag before anything is made.
  • –Lead times that slip well past the quoted date with no proactive communication suggest poor job management.
  • –A company that disputes a sizing or fabric error rather than offering a no-cost remake is one to avoid, as reputable installers take responsibility for measurement mistakes.
  • –High-pressure sales tactics during an in-home consultation, such as pushing you to sign on the day, should prompt you to walk away and get a second quote.
  • –Warranty claims ignored or deflected once the balance is paid indicate the after-sales process is not supported.
  • –No-shows or last-minute cancellations for measuring or fitting appointments without a clear rescheduling offer point to unreliable operations.
What should you ask before ordering blinds or curtains? expand_more
  • –Ask whether the quote covers supply, measure and install as a single price, or whether measuring and fitting are charged separately.
  • –Confirm the lead time in writing and ask what happens if manufacturing runs late, including whether your installation date is held.
  • –Ask what warranty covers the operating mechanism separately from the fabric, as these are often different terms.
  • –Find out the remake policy if a blind or curtain arrives the wrong size or in the wrong fabric, and get that policy in writing.
  • –Ask whether blinds are cordless, wand-operated or motorised, particularly if children live in or visit the home regularly.
  • –Ask what deposit is required, when the balance falls due, and whether you can take full-size fabric samples home to view in your own light before committing.
