Thermal Roller Blinds That Actually Work in Kiwi Homes

We install thermal rollers because they do the job. Sun in summer, cold in winter — same blinds, no fuss. Been fitting them for years around Auckland, from Grey Lynn villas to Albany new builds. If you want blinds that block heat, hold warmth, and don’t fall to bits in a year — these are the ones.

Keeps Heat Out, Holds Warmth In

North-facing windows cop it in summer. Thermal blinds block a fair bit of that — not pitch-black dark, but enough to drop the indoor temp without blasting the aircon. In winter, they trap the warmth. We’ve put these in plenty of older homes with dodgy insulation — makes a noticeable difference, especially overnight.

Helps Cut Power Bills

Less heat in, less heat out. Means you’re not running heaters or fans all day. We’ve had clients on the Shore tell us their usage dropped after installing these, especially on big glass doors or wide windows. That adds up fast, especially with power rates going where they’re going.

Deadens Outside Noise

Live near a busy road? School across the fence? These blinds help dull the noise. Not soundproof, but definitely quieter. The fabric’s dense and fits tight in the window — blocks more than you’d think. We’ve done a few in apartments by the train line; feedback’s been solid.

Looks Clean, Fits Right

No frills, no flapping. Just a tidy roller that fits square and runs smooth. Plenty of colours and fabric weights, but we usually recommend blockout or thermacell. If you’ve got west-facing glass or early sun in the bedroom, we can show you what holds up best. Not showroom flash — just gear that works.

What We Recommend

We mainly use Acmeda systems — tough tubes, reliable brackets, gear that doesn’t rattle loose. For fabric, Uniline and Shaw tend to hold shape better over time. Not the cheapest, but we don’t do callbacks. If we wouldn’t fit it in our own place, we won’t put it in yours.
