Custom Blinds in Capalaba

Blinds made to measure for Capalaba homes

Capalaba covers a lot of housing in a small area: low-set brick homes from the seventies and eighties, newer townhouses off Old Cleveland Road, and renovated Queenslanders on the streets running down toward Tingalpa Creek. Each of those needs something different at the window, which is why we measure every opening rather than working from a standard size list.

We make roller, venetian, vertical, double roller and honeycomb blinds to the exact width and drop of your windows, in the fabric and operation you choose. If you are fitting out a whole house, one visit covers every room, and you get one quote rather than a set of guesses.

Afternoon sun is the problem worth solving first

Because Capalaba sits inland from the bay, the afternoon sun does more damage here than salt does. West-facing living rooms heat up from about two o'clock, screens wash out, and furniture and flooring fade over a few summers.

Blockout roller blinds stop the heat and the glare outright, which suits media rooms and bedrooms. Sunscreen fabric is the better answer where you want to keep the view and the daylight, and it cuts the glare without making the room dark. Honeycomb blinds trap air in their cells and are worth considering on the worst west-facing windows. We will tell you which one we would fit in your own house, and why.

Blinds, shutters and screens from one local team

We are based at Thornlands, about fifteen minutes from Capalaba, so a measure appointment does not cost you a day off work. Our own installers fit the blinds, so if something needs adjusting later you are talking to the people who made it.

Most Capalaba jobs end up covering more than blinds: security screens on the doors, a set of outdoor blinds on the patio, plantation shutters in the front rooms. Whatever combination you need, it is one measure, one quote and one install date.

What happens after you ask for a quote

Ask for a quote and we book a measure at a time that suits, usually within the week for Capalaba.

At the measure we check every opening, talk through fabrics and operation, and price the job on the spot or by email the same day. Price depends on the size of the openings, the fabric and whether you want manual or motorised, so we quote the house in front of us rather than quoting a range down the phone. The quote is fixed, and it includes the install.
