Common questions

Do blinds need child-safe cords?

Yes. Australian rules require corded blinds and curtains to be fitted with cord safety devices, and installers must fit them. Ask how the cords and chains will be secured.

Should I measure the window myself?

Approximate measurements help with an enquiry, but custom coverings should be measured for the final order by the installer or supplier.

Can new curtains use my old track?

Sometimes. The installer needs to check the track condition, fixing and curtain weight.
