I needed a curtain to help enclose a room that had no door. I found Blinds Online through a google search and the site offered exactly what I was… Read more

looking for. The instructions on how to measure were easy to follow and the huge range of fabrics makes the selection process easy. I chose the Canterbury Velvet Cream eyelet curtains with thermal interlining. They arrived about 5 days earlier than I expected and they were very easy to hang up after the installation of the rod. The room was a cold room and it now retains the heat significantly more when the curtains are closed. I'm very happy with the product, price and service.

wasn’t happy with the way the Rod were sitting therefore had a new one made up for me. This time he has come around and fix the rod taken all the curtain off and reinstalled it. He also installed three sets of shutters. Not only was he very easy-going and great to deal with, but very clean, took all the boxes and rubbish with him and was super friendly. Would use the Blind factory over again, especially if we get James the installer back! The Blind factory was really great in holding my order as I wanted to get the windows painted prior to the shutters going on. There wasn’t a problem in holding onto them which was super helpful! Thank you Blind factory and thank you Josh who did the measuring..

Nightmare experience. Good luck if you have any issues getting timely or acceptable customer service when it goes wrongly, and be careful not to be… Read more

mislead by their advertising. Do not believe blinds listing "complete light blockout and privacy" - they're talking about the fabric NOT the blind as a whole. The bracket system when sold as 'recess fit' means no privacy at all down sides*. Apparently it's completely acceptable to promote a blind that allows anyone to see in the room by the window edges. False advertising, misleading product and they have no interest in customer once the purchase is made. They'll send you 2-3 FAQs deep to try and cover themselves, while taking weeks and months to get back to you. Bought 5 blinds and couldn't use any of them (some not even right size). Wish I'd read all the reviews before ordering. Never again.

*Interestingly since I took this officially further with my CC company, they updated the website images and warnings when ordering but still use the misleading terms. But, the size of the gap exceeds their suggested "approximately 15mm", and the base rod and then fabric are each narrower still!

from start to finish.

Throughout the purchase process, the staff were extremely rude and unpleasant to deal with. Communication felt dismissive and unhelpful, which made what should have been a straightforward purchase unnecessarily frustrating.

When the installation took place, the experience didn’t improve. The installers were incredibly unfriendly and came across as though they didn’t want to be there at all. There was very little professionalism or courtesy shown, which made the whole interaction uncomfortable.

Overall, the blinds themselves may be fine, but the customer service and attitude of the staff made this a terrible experience. Based on how I was treated throughout the process, I would not recommend dealing with this business.

measurement, the company provided zero transparency on the revised costs. I had to chase them multiple times for a breakdown, only to be charged the full original price for 7 items when only 5 were installed. After disputing, they lowered the price by way less than the two doors were worth. The math made no sense.

While the installers and employees were nice, the GM was dismissive and rude, eventually stone-walling the conversation and refusing to reconcile the math. He showed no interest in helping, only in taking the money. I even went to CBS, only to be told that companies like them can essentially change their pricing on services and products however they feel. Real ethical.

I regret choosing this company. There are many others out there that provide the same service with actual transparency and communication. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

We bought a full set of blinds for our living/dining area - 5 large (2.6m wide 1.8m long) roller blinds and a door blind. There was plenty of choice… Read more

on the site, but we narrowed it down to a few options. Half Price Blinds quickly sent us swatches of the potential materials, which really helped select what we needed.

Ordering was easy on-line (no sales pressure). Double checking the dimensions is crucial!! Delivery was quick, though one package suffered damage in transit that impacted the trim on the blind inside. A replacement component arrived very quickly. Service was responsive and supporting.

The blinds were exactly the correct size and they were fairly easy to fit. No special tools or techniques, but it is definitely a two person job. An electric screwdriver/drill and a few individual screwdrivers were all that was required. Again, double check the mountings with the instructions before you commit!

The result looked great. The inframe roller blinds replaced traditional hanging drapes and seemed to make the room much bigger. We were very pleased with the outcome, and for a very reasonable price.

Three years on the blinds still look great. The material has held up well against sun and usage - no fading or cracking.

It is worth mentioning that the blinds have a bottom bar that is quite easy to remove. Our cat forced its way into the window frame one night and put a small tear in the blind at the bottom bar. It turned out to be quite easy to unmount the blind, remove the bottom bar and trim a few centimeters off the bottom of the blind to eliminate the tear. Reattaching the bar was easy, and there was plenty of excess length. These are good blinds if you are a bit handy!

installation, and when I raised this concern, the installer dismissed it, assuring me the wrinkles would “sort themselves out.” Unfortunately, the opposite has happened — the condition has only worsened over time, making it clear this is a defective and poorly made product.

To make matters worse, I paid $1600 for this blind, which makes the lack of quality and finish completely unacceptable.

Hoping for a resolution, I contacted Screen Away Blinds just a few days later, only to be told that the earliest they could arrange a return visit was three weeks away. This lack of urgency and accountability was incredibly frustrating, especially given the issue was present from day one.

My overall experience with Screen Away Blinds has been nothing short of dreadful. There have been repeated missed appointments, and both installers and measurers have shown up at incorrect times, demonstrating a complete lack of coordination and professionalism.

Between the substandard product, the high price, and the disorganised, unreliable service, this has easily been the worst experience I’ve had with a company. I would not recommend Screen Away Blinds to anyone.

White Venetian blinds letting in light into a home office.

What is the difference between blinds and shutters?

With the terms often used interchangeably, it’s easy to get confused between the two - but the main difference between blinds and shutters is how they’re fitted to a window.

Blinds are attached above or to the inside of the window recess. They’re more popular than shutters as they’re widely available and more affordable.

Pros
Wide variety of styles and designs available, so easier to find some that suit your home.
Affordable.
Can be made in a range of materials suited for all room and window types.
Easily adjustable to give you as much light or shade that you want.
Have options for blackout and insulation, giving you more control over conditions in your room or home.
Cons
Not as hard-wearing as shutters so will need more frequent repair or replacement.
Need more cleaning and maintenance than shutters.
Some fabric blinds can be damaged by UV rays or excess moisture.

Shutters are fitted to the window frame itself, giving them a more sturdy structure.

Pros
Hard-wearing, as they’re attached to the frame.
Don’t require cords or chains, so are kid-friendly.
Low maintenance.
Provide excellent insulation.
Available in a variety of materials, including PVC, wood, and faux wood.
Different sections can be operated independently, giving you a lot of control over light, privacy, and ventilation.
Cons
More expensive than blinds.
Take up more window space as they’re attached to the frame rather than in the recess.
Can be heavy, and therefore unsuitable for some types of windows.
Trickier and more time-consuming to install.
May not be an option for renters, as you'd likely need permission from the homeowner.

Types of blinds and shutters

With so many types of shutters and blinds on the market, it’s useful to know a bit about all of them before you start shopping.

Venetian blinds

These are probably what comes to mind when you think of conventional blinds. Venetian blinds have horizontal slats that can be tilted with a wand and raised or lowered with a cord. They’re easy to adjust, making them great for controlling the level of privacy and light you want to let in.

Roller blinds

Roller blinds, or Holland blinds, are blinds where the fabric is rolled horizontally around a casing that’s attached above the window, usually on the window frame. They’re simple to roll up and down, making them practical for windows that are used frequently, such as sliding doors.

These window blinds have a more contemporary, sleek look to them, which is why they tend to suit the homes of those with a preference for more modern decor.

Honeycomb blinds

Used all around the house, honeycomb blinds, also referred to as cellular blinds, have horizontal rows of air pockets which help retain heat during colder months and keep it out in the summer. This might mean more savings for you if it results in spending less on heating and air conditioning.

Plantation shutters

Plantation shutters have louvers or slats fixed to the window frame, and are available in different widths to suit windows of all sizes. When they’re open, they let in a lot of natural light and air, but when closed, they provide complete privacy.

These window shutters can be bought in a range of colours, designs, and materials to suit any kind of home, however aluminium is often used for its strength, rust resistance, and easy maintenance.

Vertical blinds

Vertical blinds are practical, affordable, and are used as sliding door blinds because they enable easy access - but they’re also commonly used for windows in both homes and office spaces. They’re also simple to customise to fit over almost any window size.

Blackout blinds

With the ability to block out up to 100% of light in a room, blackout or blockout blinds are fabric shades that are often chosen for bedrooms, home theatres, and any room that’s exposed to a lot of heat. However, they’re usually more pricey than other blind types.

Roman blinds

Roman blinds have wide pleats that fold flat when you raise them using a cord, and are popular in lounge and dining areas, as they look a little more dressy than other blind types.

Other types of blinds

  • Zebra blinds: Zebra blinds are a type of roller blind that’s made of fabric alternating between bands of blackout fabric and translucent bands. These are double-layered, letting you control the amount of lighting and privacy you want depending on how you align the bands.
  • Sunscreen blinds: These are roller blinds that are made of a mesh fabric that lets in lots of natural light while still protecting you from the glare and rays of the sun.
  • Awnings: This is a sheet of material that’s fixed to the exterior of your home, usually above a door or window. Many blind and shutter shops will also sell these.
  • Motorised blinds: You can also find motorised versions of a lot of blinds and shutters on the market. These electric blinds open and close quietly with just the touch of a button. They're particularly useful for those with mobility issues who may have difficulty manually adjusting their blinds constantly.

Other things to consider when you shop

Your window type

Different blind and shutter styles open and close in different ways, which is why the blinds and shutters that will be well-suited to you will likely be limited by the type of window you’re shopping for. For example, those with a sliding door often opt for roller blinds, as they’re easy to use and roll up.

You should also consider how easy it is to access the cord or wand that controls the blinds or shutters - a higher up window may need a longer cord than usual.

Whip the tape measure out

Knowing the sizes of your windows will help ensure you take home a product that’s fit for your home. Measure where you want the blind or shutter to be, so if you’re looking for inside-mount blinds, don’t include the window frame in your measurements - and vice versa.

Go to any blinds shop you visit with measurements ready so that sales staff can better help you sift through their wares.

Material

The materials that are suitable for your windows often depend on what type of room the window is in and where it’s situated.

For example, kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms all get a lot of moisture, so you should look at materials and fabrics that suit this. PVC Venetian blinds and aluminium blinds are more water-resistant and thus better suited to these rooms compared to fabric blinds or timber Venetian blinds.

Ask when you shop; retailers often sell blinds that are specifically designed for these “wet” zones.

Outdoor blinds

If you want to minimise the amount of light getting in, you may want to consider outdoor-mounted blinds. This is because streams of light often come in on either side of indoor blinds due to the space required to accommodate brackets.

These external blinds offer better insulation and privacy, but unless you install automatic blinds that you can set to open and close at the same time each day, you’ll have to go outside to close them.

For an exterior space, such as a deck, you can also find patio blinds or outdoor roller blinds to provide some extra shade. Cafe blinds, which are translucent, are also used for patios where people want light and protection from the elements.

Privacy and light control

Depending on your own personal preferences on light and privacy and the position of your room, you may want to consider getting blinds or shutters that address your specific needs.

Fabric blockout blinds are popular with bedrooms, as they help ensure you have a dark room to get a good night’s sleep in.

Safety

If you’ve got kids running around, you might want to consider cordless blind options, as cords are a strangulation hazard.

Cleaning and maintenance

Blinds and shutters can attract a lot of dust. If you opt for fabric shades, then you may also need to lightly vacuum or spot clean the material from time to time.

Ask the salesperson exactly what maintenance is needed for the blinds or shutters you’re considering. Some materials are prone to degradation - wooden blinds, for example, will rot over time when exposed to water.

How much do blinds cost?

The cost of your blinds or shutters will depend on what you choose and how much window space you want to cover. Have a budget ready so that a salesperson doesn’t unnecessarily show you options that you don’t want to splurge on.

Blinds and shutters aren’t small purchases - it’s a good idea to get at least a 2-year warranty for extra peace of mind.

The bottom line

Whether you’re shopping in-store or buying blinds online, knowing what to look for can help you find the right window shades that are easy to use, give you the level of light and privacy you want, and enhance the style of your home.
