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.

    5★ 22 4★ 2 3★ 1 2★ 2 1★ 1

    Curtains2U stocks curtain accessories, motorised roller sun blinds, and curtain tracks that larger retailers and hardware chains do not carry, making them worth contacting when you have struggled to find something specific elsewhere.

Before you hire a blinds and curtain installer in Palmerston North

Drawn from 145 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 install, with blockout or dual rollers sitting closer to $150 to $350. Lined curtain pairs for a standard window generally cost $200 to $600 installed, with premium fabrics, pinch pleat headings, or longer drops pushing that higher. Plantation shutters sit at the expensive end, from $800 to $1,500 per window for PVC or composite, with timber costing more. Motorisation adds cost at any price point, but reviews from local customers suggest the running convenience is worth it for kitchen, dining, and bathroom windows. Volume matters: ordering blinds or curtains for the whole house at once tends to produce a better per-window price than room-by-room jobs, so bring your full window list to the first consultation. Measuring and installation fees vary, and some suppliers include them in the quote while others charge separately, so confirm that in writing before comparing prices.

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 product must be of acceptable quality, fit for the purpose you described, and match any sample or description you were shown, but you cannot return a correctly made custom item because you changed your mind, so confirm measurements, fabric, colour, and control side in writing before paying a deposit. Ask specifically what the business will do if a blind arrives the wrong size, because reviews show that dispute is where things go wrong, with some businesses offering a free remake promptly and others pushing costs back onto the customer. 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, 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 finalised, meaning it is not yet in force and applies only to newly supplied products. Eight children have died from window-cord strangulation in New Zealand since 2008, so MBIE Product Safety guidance is to fit cord cleats or tensioners on existing blinds, keep furniture away from windows, and choose cordless, wand-operated, or motorised blinds where young children live.

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 price, making them the most cost-effective insulation upgrade in an older New Zealand home, particularly in bedrooms where overnight warmth matters most. Sunscreen roller blinds suit living areas where you want glare and UV control without losing the view, while blockout rollers work well for bedrooms or home theatres where full darkness is the priority. Plantation shutters are the durable long-term option and handle both light and privacy control precisely, but the premium cost only makes sense if you plan to stay in the home long enough to recover it. One thing reviewers noted after the fact is that edge fit matters more than it looks in the showroom: a blind that leaves a gap at the sides lets in light and cold air, so ask your installer how each product seals at the edges for your specific window type.

What are the warning signs of a blinds or curtain company you should not use? expand_more
  • –Blinds or curtains arrive the wrong size and the business disputes responsibility rather than offering a prompt, no-cost remake.
  • –Installation is crooked, leaves visible holes in frames, or uses the wrong fixings for the surface, with no offer to return and fix the problem.
  • –The consultant measures on the day but the finished product ignores the measurements, suggesting work is not checked before dispatch.
  • –Warranty or repair requests are ignored or deflected once full payment has been received, including known product faults the business fails to disclose.
  • –Quoted lead times slip well past the original estimate with no proactive communication to the customer.
  • –Scheduling for measuring or fitting is repeatedly arranged around the business's convenience, requiring you to take multiple days off work to accommodate repeated re-visits.
What should you ask before ordering blinds or curtains? expand_more
  • –Ask whether the quoted price covers measuring, manufacturing, delivery, and installation, or whether any of those are charged separately.
  • –Ask what the lead time is and what happens if it slips, including whether you get written notice and whether a new date is guaranteed.
  • –Ask what the remake policy is if a blind or curtain arrives the wrong size or wrong colour, specifically whether it is at no cost to you.
  • –Ask what warranty covers the operating mechanism separately from the fabric, since mechanisms can fail independently and fabric fading is treated differently by most suppliers.
  • –Ask whether cordless, wand-operated, or motorised options are available, particularly if children live or visit in the home.
  • –Ask to take full-size fabric samples home so you can check the colour and opacity in your own light before committing to an order.
