time frame wasn't too bad and cheaper. They kept us informed on the progress with constant updates. When they arrived at our door step, the packaging was incredible. Then a bit of self doubt kicked in, can we install the shutters ourselves?? Yep no problems, they were very easy to install, and they look awesome, if I do say so myself.

manager and came back with a price slashed down to $2,500. A price dropping by more than 50% raises major red flags about how inflated their initial markup is. They also stated that they don't do itemised quotes. When I followed up with a message asking for further information and product specs, warranty etc, they simply never responded and completely ghosted me. If a company can cut their quote in half after talking to the boss, refuses to itemise, and leaves you hanging when you ask for basic information, their pricing and service cannot be trusted. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.

I know there are a lot of good reviews on here but I'm sharing my experience with their Windmaster Product. I wanted to replace four outdoor PVC… Read more
blinds on my veranda. After looking around, I concluded that the Windmaster outdoor roller blind from Half Price Blinds seemed like a good option since I was comfortable installing it myself. I ordered only one to test it before ordering the remaining blinds, especially as each one is over two metres wide and quite expensive.
I measured and ordered online; the process was good. The blind finally arrived, but it was delivered when I wasn't home. When I arrived home the box had some damage and upon opening I found the backing plate was slightly damaged. I fully understand that the delivery company's actions are outside of Half Price Blinds' control.I accepted the minor damage and proceeded with the installation.
I soon discovered that the mechanism was placed on the wrong side, contrary to my order. I was unable to reverse the mechanism because the screws were too tight. The other side bracket was poorly fitted and the screw hole had been enlarged and a washer was placed to try and fix it, but it was still not straight. Yes I should have sent the whole thing back and that was my mistake.
After fixing the bracket, I discovered that the roller blind was set for the mechanism as per my order so now it could not be fitted. I ended up reversing the blind on the roller to make it work.
The quality control appears to be nonexistent with this company. Furthermore, the rubber seal under the blind base plate was too long and caught during use, so I had to cut it. The locking mechanism screws supplied were too short and unusable.
It probably took nearly three hours to install and now that it's up it seems good.
I emailed Half Price Blinds six weeks ago, which they acknowledged, and I was told they would forward my concerns to the relevant product managers. I heard nothing further.
Their total lack of interest left me looking at alternative products for the remaining three blinds. I went with another well known brand and had the blinds professionally fitted. I did a price comparison and it did cost me 10% more; however, the whole process was much quicker, required less effort on my part and the blinds are so much better.
I would not recommend the Windmaster product to anyone and clearly Half Price Blinds is not a company I would order from again. I'm thinking of replacing the Windmaster Blind as the other ones I purchased look so much better.

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.
Shutters are fitted to the window frame itself, giving them a more sturdy structure.
Venetian blinds. | Plantation shutters. |
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.
Roman blinds. | Zebra blinds. |
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.
