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 Whangārei

Drawn from 107 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 installed, while blockout or dual rollers sit closer to $150 to $350. Lined curtain pairs for a standard window generally land between $200 and $600 installed, with pinch pleat styles and premium fabrics pushing that higher. Plantation shutters are the most expensive option, from around $800 to $1,500 per window for PVC or composite, with timber costing more. Ordering for a whole house at once often brings a better per-window price, and at least one Whangarei installer has been noted for competitive volume pricing, so get quotes covering all rooms in one go rather than room by room.

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: the 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 fabric, measurements, and control side in writing before paying a deposit, and ask what the business does if a blind 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, with a one-year transition period once regulations are made and applying to newly supplied products only, so it is not yet in force. Eight children have died from cord strangulation in New Zealand since 2008, and MBIE Product Safety guidance is to use cord cleats or tensioners on existing blinds, keep furniture away from windows, and choose cordless, wand or motorised blinds where young children live.

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

Blockout roller blinds suit bedrooms well, and reviewers who chose them specifically noted the immediate difference in warmth and sleep quality, but curtains with a thermal lining fitted close to the wall are the most cost-effective insulation upgrade in an older New Zealand house. Sunscreen rollers work best in living areas where you want glare control without losing your outlook, though reviewers found that how well a blind runs after a year depends on precise edge-to-frame fit at installation. Plantation shutters are the durable long-term option with good light control, but one local review flagged a faulty shutter dispute that reached a prolonged refund process, so warranty clarity matters before you commit at that price point.

What are the warning signs of a blinds or curtain company you should not use? expand_more
  • –A large deposit is taken and the lead time then slips well past what was quoted, with no proactive contact from the business.
  • –Confirmation emails exist for a fitting appointment and the installer still does not show, leaving you to chase a new date.
  • –Measurements are taken by the salesperson but fabric or pleat style suitability is only flagged days before installation, not at the consultation.
  • –Faulty products are disputed rather than remedied, with phone calls and emails going unreturned after full payment is received.
  • –Installation quality problems, such as carpet not stretched correctly or wall damage left unfixed, require multiple return visits with no offer of compensation.
  • –No-shows and rebooking cycles repeat more than once, forcing you to rearrange your own schedule around unconfirmed slots.
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 that date slips, including whether you will be notified proactively or left to follow up.
  • –Ask what the remake policy is if a blind or curtain arrives the wrong size or in the wrong fabric, and get the answer in writing.
  • –Check whether the warranty covers the operating mechanism and the fabric separately, and how long each covers.
  • –Ask whether blinds are available in cordless, wand-operated or motorised options, particularly if children are present in the home.
  • –Request full-size fabric or material samples to view in your own space and light before committing, since samples on a showroom board can look very different at home.
