Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long do blinds typically last?

    The lifespan of blinds depends on the material, quality and how well they’re maintained. On average, well-made blinds can last anywhere from 5-15 years. Roller and vertical blinds made from durable synthetic materials tend to last longer, while fabric blinds may show wear sooner in high-traffic areas. Motorised systems can also last a decade or more with proper care. Regular cleaning, gentle use and correct installation will all help extend the life of your window coverings.

  • What’s the difference between blockout and sunscreen blinds?

    Blockout blinds are made from opaque materials that completely block external light, making them ideal for bedrooms, media rooms or spaces where privacy and darkness are essential. Sunscreen blinds, on the other hand, filter natural light without blocking the view. They reduce glare and UV rays while still allowing visibility outside, making them perfect for living areas or offices. Many homeowners choose to layer these styles—for example, sunscreen blinds for the day and blockout blinds or curtains for nighttime use.

  • Can blinds be installed on sliding doors?

    Yes, blinds can be fitted to sliding doors using options designed for large openings. Vertical blinds and panel glide blinds are both popular choices, as they slide horizontally and can be pulled to the side like the door itself. Roller blinds are also used, especially when fitted to the door frame. It’s important to choose a style that allows easy access while providing the level of light control and privacy you need. Custom fitting ensures smooth operation and a clean finish.
