Why custom beats ready-made

Ready-made blinds are made for someone else’s window — fixed stock sizes, weak hardware, and fabrics that struggle in Australian heat and UV. We measure your windows and make your blinds to suit each opening in our Kingsmeadows, Tasmania factory, using trade blockout and screen fabrics. Need a dark room? Ask about a cassette with side channels for near full blockout. On cheap ready-made fabrics, the backing can break down over time — it often turns powdery and can go from white to a grey-black colour. We use trade fabrics chosen to hold up in real Aussie sun and heat.

Why choose custom

• Made to measure for each window — not a near-enough shelf size

• Trade fabrics for Australian sun and heat

• Cassette and side channels available for near full blockout

• Proper factory hardware, dual systems and wide windows done properly

• Free measure and quote in Hobart and Launceston areas (conditions apply), then professional install

Frequently asked questions

Isn’t custom the same as ready-made?

No. Ready-made comes in fixed stock sizes. Ours are measured and made for your windows in our Kingsmeadows factory.

Will custom blinds block all side light?

Standard rollers need a little side clearance to run. For near full blockout, ask for a cassette with side channels.
