Why choose custom-made roller blinds
Expert advice
To get the look and function you want, our consultants guide you through which type of blind, materials, and hanging styles you need, and take accurate measurements.
Custom-crafted with care
Most of our blinds are custom-made by us here in New Zealand with a few custom-made by our partner manufacturers, who have been chosen with care to meet our standards.
Professional installation
Once your blinds are made, we have a professional team trained to install them to ensure they fit, hang and operate just right. They will also show you best practice for using them.
Features & benefits
Pair with curtains
Use a light filter roller blind to filter light during the day then close the curtains for darkness at night. An opaque and lined fabric is best in this scenario as anything more translucent would still let in a lot of light and you’d be visible at night.
Inside or outside mount
Fitting your blinds inside the window frame offers the cleanest look, but your window recess needs to be deep enough. Fitting the blind outside and just above the frame is practical and flexible, suiting just about any window.
Double roller blinds
Double roller blinds combine a light filter or sunscreen roller blind with a blockout roller for a full range of light control. One allows you to filter light in the room without the glare during the day, while the blockout blind rolls down for privacy and dark at night.

Frequently asked questions
Sometimes called translucent blinds, light filter roller blinds are designed to add privacy while still allowing soft, diffused light to pass through. This lets you have a bright, naturally lit room with privacy, ideal for street-facing windows.
Light filter roller blinds provide plenty of privacy, but since they are somewhat translucent, you’ll may still be able to see shapes and silhouettes through them at night if someone is close to the blind. They are perfectly private during the day.
The main benefit of light filtering blinds is the ability to have lots of natural light in a room while also having some privacy from the outside. They are perfect for windows that face the street or the neighbours and create a bright, airy feel in the room.
