It depends on the width and drop of the window, the fabric, the heading style, whether there is a lining, and the track.

A single standard bedroom window sits in a very different range to a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass.

The quickest way to get a real figure is booking a free in-home measure.

Typically 1 to 2 weeks from your free measure to installation, covering fabric ordering, tailored cut and manufacture, and scheduling the fit.

We give you a date at the point of quoting rather than a vague window.

Yes, wherever the room allows it.

A floor-length curtain looks better and works better, because it stops the air movement that makes a room feel cold.

Where there is a bench, a heater or built-in furniture below the window, we fit inside the reveal instead and seal the top and sides.

Yes.

Bay windows, raked ceilings, corner glazing and curved spans all need a track bent or built to suit, which is part of what the measure appointment is for.

We do, and it is worth talking through at the measure.

There are fitting approaches that suit a property you may not stay in, and we can advise on what your lease allows.

We work across Melbourne from our Williamstown office, with most of our work through the western and inner suburbs.

Yes, and more than most people expect. Windows are one of the biggest sources of heat loss and heat gain in Australian homes. 

Sheer curtains reduce glare and slow direct solar heat, but offer very little insulating value.

For genuine thermal performance we’d recommend Blockout Curtains or a combination of the two for complete thermal and light control.

For Sheer Curtains, Whites, ivories and oysters keep a room feeling bright and are the most common choice. Greys and darker sheers cut more glare but darken a room more than most people expect, so they are worth seeing in your own light before deciding.

For Blockout Curtains, we recommend lighter face fabric or a white-backed lining that reflects heat at the glass rather than absorbing it, particularly on north and west-facing windows.

Not on their own.

During the day the light is brighter outside, so sheers read as opaque from the street. At night with your lights on that reverses, and people outside can see in.

If you need privacy after dark, we recommend a double layer behind the sheer, with either a blockout blind or curtain. 

They slow it down by cutting some of the UV, but they do not stop it.

For a room with valuable flooring, art or furniture, a sunscreen blind behind the sheer or a blockout layer (blind or curtain) is worth considering.

For darkness and insulation, a properly fitted curtain usually wins, because it covers more of the wall and seals better at the sides.

Blinds sit closer to the glass and suit smaller windows, wet areas and rooms where floor space matters. Plenty of homes use both.
