FAQs — Blinds & Curtains in Bentleigh East, Melbourne
How much do blinds cost in Australia?
Roller blinds cost $150–$400 per window installed. Plantation shutters cost $400–$1,200 per window. Venetian blinds cost $100–$300. Roman blinds cost $200–$500. Motorised blinds add $200–$500 per window. Curtains (fabric plus installation) typically cost $300–$2,000 per window depending on fabric and length.
What window covering is best for blocking heat in summer?
External roller shutters provide the best heat reduction by blocking sun before it hits the glass. For internal solutions: honeycomb (cellular) blinds with good edge seals reduce heat transfer by up to 40%. Reflective or blockout roller blinds significantly reduce glare and radiant heat. Plantation shutters offer adjustable control over light and airflow.
What is the difference between blockout and translucent blinds?
Blockout blinds (100% light elimination) are ideal for bedrooms, media rooms, and shift workers. Translucent (sheer/sunscreen) blinds filter glare while maintaining a view and allowing diffused natural light — good for living areas. Many homes use both: a translucent blind for daytime privacy and a blockout blind or curtain for nighttime.
Are motorised blinds worth the extra cost?
Motorised blinds ($200–$500 extra per window) are particularly worth it for: hard-to-reach windows (high or above furniture), large windows, skylights, and smart home integration. You can schedule them to open at sunrise and close at sunset automatically. Battery motors are wireless and easy to install; hardwired motors require an electrician.
What are plantation shutters and why are they popular in Australia?
Plantation shutters are solid timber or PVC louvred panels that hinge within a window frame. They allow precise control over light, privacy, and airflow, never need replacing like fabric blinds, and add strong resale value to a home. PVC shutters are moisture-resistant (good for bathrooms and kitchens) and cost $400–$700/m². Timber shutters cost $600–$1,200/m².
