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.

    SunGuard

    ★ 4.9 765 reviews Top5 Score 184
    5★ 724 4★ 36 3★ 1 2★ 1 1★ 3

    SunGuard installs roller blinds, Ziptrak cafe blinds, and PVC outdoor blinds, and has handled tricky fitting jobs by finding workarounds on-site rather than flagging problems back to clients. Installers leave sites tidy, and the quote-to-installation timeline is short enough that several customers noted the turnaround as a standout.

Before you hire a blinds and curtain installer on the North Shore

Drawn from 529 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 roughly $80 to $200 per window for supply and installation, with sunscreen fabrics sitting toward the lower end. Blockout or dual roller blinds cost closer to $150 to $350 per window, and motorisation adds $150 to $300 or more per blind on top of that. Lined curtains for a standard window land between $200 and $600 installed, with premium fabrics, pinch pleat headings, or extra-long drops pushing costs higher. Plantation shutters are the most expensive option at $800 to $1,500 per window for PVC or composite, with timber shutters costing more. Roman blinds and venetians sit in between, at roughly $150 to $400 per window depending on fabric and slat material. Ordering the whole house at once often secures a per-window discount, and you should confirm whether measuring and installation are included in the quoted price or charged separately.

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

The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 covers made-to-measure blinds and curtains: the finished product must be of acceptable quality, fit for the purpose you described, and match any sample shown. You cannot return a correctly made custom item because you changed your mind, so confirm measurements, fabric, colour, and which side the control sits on in writing before you pay a deposit, and ask the supplier what they will do if a blind arrives incorrectly sized. On cord safety, on 30 June 2026 the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs announced that New Zealand will make child-safety standards mandatory for newly supplied corded window coverings under the Fair Trading Act 1986, accepting any of four internationally recognised standards from Australia, Canada, the European Union, or the United States, with a one-year transition period once the regulations are formally made, so the standard is announced but not yet in force as of late 2026. Eight children have died from window-cord strangulation in New Zealand since 2008, and MBIE Product Safety guidance recommends cordless, wand-operated, or motorised blinds in homes with young children, and fitting cord cleats or tensioners to any existing corded blinds to keep cords out of reach.

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

Lined curtains hung close to the wall and fitted with a pelmet deliver the most heat retention for the money, making them the practical first upgrade in an older New Zealand home where draughts around the window frame are the main problem. Blockout roller blinds are the right call for bedrooms where morning light is the issue, but reviewers who had consultants steer them toward a sunscreen fabric in a living area noted they could control glare without losing the view entirely. Shutters cost significantly more upfront but reviewers noted durability and a clean finish that still looked good years later, which makes them worth considering for high-use rooms where fabric wear or cord mechanisms would become a maintenance issue.

What are the warning signs of a blinds or curtain company you should not use? expand_more
  • –A large upfront deposit is taken and the lead time then extends well beyond what was quoted, with little proactive communication from the business.
  • –Blinds or curtains arrive the wrong size or in the wrong fabric and the business disputes responsibility rather than arranging a no-cost remake.
  • –Installation is crooked, gaps are visible at the edges, or fixings are placed into unsuitable surfaces, and follow-up calls to fix the work go unanswered.
  • –Sales pressure is applied during the in-home consultation, pushing you to commit on the day before you have compared prices or seen samples in your own light.
  • –Warranty or after-sales claims are ignored once full payment has been received, as seen in one case where a fabric quality complaint was declined on the basis that the product was out of a short warranty window.
  • –Enquiries made through informal channels such as messaging apps go unanswered for days, with no acknowledgement or explanation offered.
What should you ask before ordering blinds or curtains? expand_more
  • –Ask whether the quoted price covers measuring, supply, and installation or whether any of those are charged separately.
  • –Confirm the lead time in writing and ask what happens if manufacturing or delivery runs over that date, including whether you can exit the contract without penalty.
  • –Ask what the remake policy is if a blind or curtain arrives the wrong size, wrong colour, or with a fabric fault, and get the answer in writing before paying a deposit.
  • –Check what the warranty covers separately for the operating mechanism and for the fabric, as these are often different periods and some businesses exclude fabric fading or discolouration.
  • –Ask whether the blinds are cordless, wand-operated, or motorised, and if corded blinds are being supplied, confirm that cleats or tensioners are included, particularly important if children live in or visit the home.
  • –Request full-size fabric samples to view in your own room under your own light before you commit, since colour and opacity can look very different in a showroom than on your windows.
