FAQs
I’ve got some huge windows in my home. What is the maximum size I can make my blinds?
At Blindsmith, we make up to a size of 3000mm wide, with a 3000mm drop. We can create blinds larger than this, but keep in mind that large blinds are heavy, and could strain your hardware or window frames. We recommend splitting blinds for larger windows into two sections. This will also make them easier to operate and clean.
My window is very high. Can I make the controls longer?
Certainly! When you’re submitting your measurements, let us know how long you’d like the controls to be and we can make them to size.
What’s the difference between front and reverse roll blinds?
You can have your roller blinds as either front or reverse roll. Front roll blinds roll towards you, leaving a big enough gap between the window and the blind for the handle to sit comfortably underneath. These look seamless and modern.
A reverse roll blind rolls towards the window, so the fabric sits very close to the glass. You will see the roll at the top when you’re inside the room. They can look very homely and rustic.
How long will it take for my blinds to be made?
We custom-make all our blinds onsite in our Auckland premises to ensure the highest quality and perfect fit. It takes us between 10-15 working days to complete your order. But if your order is particularly large it may take a bit longer. We’re happy to discuss timing with you and see what we can do to help.
Can I pick up my blinds from your premises?
Of course! If you live in Auckland and don’t want to pay the courier or installation fee for your blinds, you can pick them up from our factory.
