FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Do you offer custom window furnishings?
Yes! We specialise in made-to-measure interior and exterior window furnishings, including curtains, blinds, shutters, and outdoor systems. All our products are tailored to suit your space, style, and functional needs.
Do you repair blinds, curtains or tracks?
We no longer offer full blind or curtain repairs. However, we can help with small parts and hardware, such as replacement hooks, brackets, or gliders. If you're unsure, feel free to contact us and we’ll do our best to assist or point you in the right direction.
Do you reupholster furniture or cushions?
No - while the previous business offered upholstery services, we no longer provide reupholstery for furniture, cushions, or soft furnishings.
Can you clean or alter existing curtains?
We do not provide curtain cleaning or alteration services. For safety and compliance reasons, we also do not modify or install new curtains on old rods or tracks.
Can I reuse my existing tracks or rods?
For compliance and warranty reasons, we only install new window furnishings on new track systems. This ensures correct operation, safety, and long-term performance of your curtains and blinds. If you want to install your own curtains on your existing tracks, we offer a Supply Only option. Please note we do not offer installation, guarantee, or ongoing support for Supply Only or retrofit setups.
Do you stock parts for older blinds or tracks?
We carry a small range of common components (e.g. hooks, gliders, cord locks, chain joiners), and we’re happy to help you identify what you need. Drop by our showroom or give us a call - photos are helpful!
What areas do you service?
We proudly service Mt Barker, the Adelaide Hills, and surrounding regions. If you're not sure whether we can come to you, just ask!
Do you install the products you sell?
Yes - all our window furnishings include the option of professional installation by experienced fitters, ensuring a safe, clean and high-quality finish. The only exception to this is our fitters do not retrofit onto pre-existing tracks or fixtures.
Where are your products made?
Wherever possible, we source Australian-made products and work with local manufacturers to support quality craftsmanship and reduce lead times. Some specialised items may be sourced internationally, depending on availability and product type.
