Trusted Blinds, Curtains and Drapes Specialists in Auckland
Our guide outlines the best blinds, curtains and drapes suppliers and installers in Auckland, costs, must-know considerations and ways to save on the total cost
Updated 23 December 2020
Blinds come in all forms and costs - Venetian blinds, vertical blinds, automated blinds and more. For this reason, getting the requirements locked down upfront is essential. Given the choice available, our guide outlines:
How Much Do Blinds Cost?
The price you will pay for blinds will be influenced by two major factors: the type of blinds you want, and how many windows or other areas you need blinds for. Different companies will also have variable rates, so what we have done is listed a couple of price ranges that should help in your search. Each of the following is per window, and is based on a company fitting out several windows, for a three-bedroom house:
Note: The prices indicated above apply to an average size of a house with standard windows, with Venetian blinds as the type of choice, and fitted.
- Off the shelf blinds (standard type) $150 to $250
- Custom blinds $250 to $400
- Specialist blinds (luxury/specific) up to $4500
- Average cost per window in NZ $400 to $700
Note: The prices indicated above apply to an average size of a house with standard windows, with Venetian blinds as the type of choice, and fitted.
​How Can I Get the Best Price for Blinds, Curtains and Drapes?
To help you save while getting the best result for your home, we've outlined questions to consider asking yourself and the supplier.
- Challenge What do You Need – Custom blinds are always going to be more expensive than those from a supplier’s catalogue.
- Ask for Any Special Offers – Check with chosen blind companies if they currently have any offers or sales; it may be last year’s stock or similar but this can save significantly.
- DIY – If you are adept at DIY and have a set of decent tools, you might consider buying the blinds and hanging them yourself. This is best for simple Venetian blinds but can still be a tricky job and isn't something you should do without know-how.
What to Look for When Choosing a Supplier and Installer
Before you go ahead, consider asking the following:
Before You Settle on a Company, Consider the Following:
Further Questions to Ask an Installer or Fitter:
- What does the quote cover? Does it include all fixtures and fittings and a complete job?
- Can you see examples of their work locally?
- What sort of guarantee is provided with each job?
- How long have they been in the trade?
- Do they offer automated blinds, and at what extra cost?
Before You Settle on a Company, Consider the Following:
- Are they selling you the blinds/curtains/drapes you really want? There is no point in compromising so much that you get something you don't like.
- Ask around your friends, family, and colleagues for recommendations.
- Have you considered all your options, or is there a cheaper way of dressing your windows?
Further Questions to Ask an Installer or Fitter:
- Can they do the job when it is convenient for you, and how long will it take?
- Will their service involve the removal of old blinds or curtains?
- Is there a product they recommend or one that is exceedingly popular?
- Are you happy with these people working in your home?
- Have you checked all the options in terms of style, colour, and cost?
