Before you hire a blinds and curtain installer in Nelson

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.

The questions below are drawn from 360 customer reviews collected for this page.

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

Basic made-to-measure roller blinds run roughly $80 to $200 per window installed, with blockout or dual roller options sitting closer to $150 to $350. Lined curtain pairs for a standard window generally fall between $200 and $600 installed, with premium fabrics, pinch pleat or box pleat styles pushing that higher.

Plantation shutters are the most expensive choice, with PVC or composite options commonly ranging from $800 to $1,500 per window. For a whole house, budgeting $5,000 to $15,000 or more is realistic depending on window count, product mix and fabric grade.

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

Made-to-measure goods are still covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, meaning the product must be of acceptable quality, fit for the purpose you described, and match any sample shown, but you cannot return a correctly made item simply because you changed your mind. Confirm your measurements, fabric, colour and control side in writing before paying a deposit, and ask the business directly what they do if a blind or curtain arrives the wrong size.

On cord safety, a mandatory product safety standard for corded window coverings was announced on 30 June 2026 by the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, to be made under the Fair Trading Act 1986, accepting Australian, Canadian, EU and US standards, but it is not yet in force and carries a one-year transition period once regulations are made. Eight children have died in New Zealand from cord strangulation since 2008, so MBIE Product Safety guidance is to fit cord cleats or tensioners on existing blinds and to choose cordless, wand or motorised options where young children live.

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

Blockout roller blinds suit bedrooms well for sleep, 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 rollers work well in living areas where you want glare control without losing the view, though reviewers noted that edge fit and how smoothly a blind runs after a year of use matter more than they expected at purchase time. Shutters offer the most durable long-term solution and handle condensation better than fabric, but the per-window cost is significantly higher, and a good consultant, as several reviewers found, will steer you toward the right product for each room rather than applying one solution across the whole house.

What are the warning signs of a blinds or curtain company you should not use?
  • –Quoted lead times of 4 to 6 weeks that stretch to 13 or 14 weeks with no proactive update unless you chase.
  • –Blinds or curtains arriving the wrong size, wrong fabric or wrong colour, with the business disputing responsibility rather than remaking at no cost.
  • –Requiring full or near-full payment upfront and then becoming hard to reach once the money is received.
  • –Installation errors such as tracks hung at different heights in the same room, gaps in vinyl planking, or cord lengths cut incorrectly, with no prompt return visit to fix them.
  • –A measuring consultant who cannot confidently quote on the style you requested or who steers you away from your preferred option toward lower-priced stock.
  • –Warranty or repair requests ignored for weeks or months, particularly once the original installation bill has been settled.
What should you ask before ordering blinds or curtains?
  • –Does the quoted price include measure, supply and installation, or are any of those charged separately?
  • –What is the current lead time, and what will the business do if that slips, including whether they will communicate proactively or wait for you to follow up?
  • –What is the remake policy if a blind or curtain arrives the wrong size or colour, and who bears that cost?
  • –What warranty covers the operating mechanism separately from the fabric, and how long does each last?
  • –Are the blinds cordless, wand-operated or motorised, and if corded, do they include a tensioner or cleat, especially relevant if children are present?
  • –Can you borrow or take home a full-size fabric sample to check colour and weight in your own light before committing to the order?
