Thinking about getting roller blinds for your home? With so many options out there, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed — especially when every window is different, and Palmerston North homes have their own sun and privacy challenges.
Here’s what you need to know before you buy roller blinds locally, and how Blanchetts can help you choose the right solution.
☀️ 1. Consider the Sun Exposure in Your Home
Palmerston North gets plenty of sunlight — and depending on the direction your windows face, you might need different types of blinds:
-
North- and west-facing rooms often need blockout or thermal blinds to control heat and fading.
-
Living rooms or kitchens may benefit from light-filtering or sunscreen blinds that reduce glare while keeping your views.
We’ll help you choose fabrics that offer the right level of UV protection, insulation, and light control.
🏠 2. Every Window Is Different — Don’t Guess the Size
Off-the-shelf blinds rarely fit perfectly. At Blanchetts, we:
-
Measure each window professionally
-
Account for clearance, depth, and light gaps
-
Ensure a clean, tailored finish (no crooked or loose-fitting blinds here)
We supply and install custom roller blinds so you get both function and finish.
🎨 3. You Can Choose from a Huge Range of Fabrics
From soft neutrals to bold textures, we offer a wide selection of:
-
Blockout, sunscreen, and translucent fabrics
-
Moisture-resistant options for kitchens and bathrooms
-
Coordinating styles to match your curtains or upholstery
Want a cohesive look across your whole home? We can help you plan it out room by room.
⚙️ 4. Don’t Forget the Extras: Dual Blinds, Chains, or Motors
You can level up your roller blinds with:
-
Double brackets (light-filtering + blockout in one)
-
Chain or spring control (child-safe options available)
-
Motorised blinds (ideal for large windows or hard-to-reach spots)
Ask us about the best options for your lifestyle.
🛠️ 5. Professional Installation Makes All the Difference
Roller blinds need to sit level, operate smoothly, and be mounted securely — especially in older or uneven homes. That’s why our team not only measures and supplies, but also installs your blinds to ensure the perfect fit.
