Types of services that a blinds and curtains installer provides

Repairs

They can repair broken curtains and blind fittings, rods, tracks etc., on existing blinds or curtains.

Alterations

They can do alterations to blinds and curtains, for instance when you move premises or renovate your existing windows and need your curtains hemmed. They may also be able to alter store-bought products.

Installations

Curtain track installation

They can install curtain tracks where you previously had none or where they were removed for renovations.

Removals and cleaning

The cost of blind and curtain work depends on the number and size of windows, whether coverings are ready-made or custom-made, and whether the quote is for fitting alone or includes supply. Adding curtain tracks or rails, alterations, removal of existing coverings or motorisation changes the work involved; motorisation may also require electrical and technical work. To compare estimates, check that each states the measurements, coverings supplied and installation tasks included, excluded or allowed for.

The advantages of hiring a skilled blinds and curtains installer

Hiring a skilled blinds and curtains installer in New Zealand will save you time and money because they have the know-how to do the task successfully. Some blind setups in New Zealand additionally call for installing a motorisation system requiring more specialised architectural, electrical and technical abilities. By hiring skilled professionals, you can be confident that your window coverings are hung or installed correctly and look beautiful. Professionals keep abreast of new product developments and important trends making sure your installation reflects those important qualities.

How to choose the best blinds and curtains installer for your project

There are many blinds and curtains installers in New Zealand, so how do you choose the right one for your project? Start by focusing on only the best professionals like the ones featured on ArchiPro. On their business profiles you’ll find examples of their work, projects they’ve been associated with, customer testimonials, business credentials and more, allowing you to make an informed choice from the outset. For your project, you should specifically look for professionals that have experience in the type of curtains or blinds you’re looking to install. From that shortlist, you can contact them and ask them a few fundamental questions like:

  • Do your curtain installations come with warranties or guarantees in New Zealand?
  • What qualifications do your blind or curtain fitters have?
  • Is your company insured for blinds installations in New Zealand?
  • Are you licensed to work on this type of project?
  • Do you work with any particular blinds and curtains suppliers?

How long do blinds take to install?

Time may vary depending on the size of the task, but on average, the first blind will take 20 to 30 minutes to install, including bringing everything in. This is assuming that everything is prepared and ready for the blinds to be fitted and that the blinds are ready-built. After that, it should take 10 to 15 minutes for each new blind.

How long do curtains take to install?

A simple rod with brackets often takes 20 minutes for each window, but a track rod typically takes 45 minutes per window. The length of time it takes to install the curtains can also be affected by their weight and the type of surface you are fastening them to.

Can you put two blinds in one window?

You may hang two sets of identical blinds in the same window to produce practically continuous window coverage if you can't find wide enough blinds. The blinds should be hung using an inside mount. A blind valance may conceal the two rails for a smoother appearance.

Should my curtains touch the floor?

No, you should strive to have the hem of your curtains approximately half an inch above the ground. This is a terrific height if you frequently open and close your curtains because you won't need to reposition them, and it also makes vacuuming and sweeping easier.
