Automated roller blinds in Castor Bay
How do roller blinds work?
Most roller blinds are manually operated using a plastic or metal chain. This popular control system is very easy to use. In coastal areas, we also offer stainless steel control chains for added durability. Alternatively, we provide motorized roller blinds as an option. Motorized blinds can be operated either through hard-wired or wireless systems. The control units range from hand-held remotes to wall switches, providing convenience and flexibility in managing your roller blinds.
How long does it take from roller blinds order to installation?
Generally, it takes about two weeks from the time you place your blinds order to the installation. The majority of our roller blinds orders are completed within 10 days. Some orders can even be manufactured and installed within a working week, depending on the fabric selection you make.
Why go motorised?
Good for high windows or if you want hassle-free control. Our battery motors don’t need an electrician — just plug in to charge like a phone. One charge lasts 6-9+ months. Quiet, smooth, tidy install.
What motor brands do you use?
We fit Somfy, Acmeda and Dooya— all proven in NZ homes. You can stick to standard remotes or go smart with Wi-Fi hubs and app control. Set schedules, link with other smart gear.
How do you clean roller blinds?
Wipe with a damp cloth. Bit of dish soap for marks. No washing machines — they’ll wreck the fabric. Keep it simple and they’ll last.
Can you split one blind into two?
Yep. We use an inline joiner to run two blinds on one bracket. Gap between them is about 15 mm. You can run both from one chain or motor or set them up to work independently.
Is installation tricky?
Not at all. We fit inside or outside the frame, depending on the light block you want. Outside fit helps cut light leaks. We measure properly, so the fit’s always tight.
Can I order roller blinds online?
Sure can. Just flick us an email with your measurements (width and drop). We’ll double-check the details with you before we start. If you’re in Auckland, we can swing by for a free measure and quote — no obligation, no pressure.
Do you do commercial jobs?
Yep. Offices, shops, schools — no problem. Same gear we put in homes, just scaled for bigger spaces. Built to last, even with daily use. We’ll quote it properly and fit it right.
What’s the warranty?
Five years on mechanisms, fabric, and workmanship. Five years on Somfy and Dooya automation.
