❓ Frequently Asked Questions — Curtain & Blind Installation Wollongong

How much does blind or curtain installation cost in Wollongong?

Curtain and blind installation costs in Wollongong depend on the number of windows, the type of window furnishing, and whether new tracks or rods need to be supplied and installed. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you can plan your budget before committing to installation.

Do you supply the blinds and curtains, or do I need to purchase them myself?

We are primarily an installation service — customers typically purchase their own blinds and curtains from their preferred supplier, and we install them. We can also supply and install curtain rods, tracks, and brackets as part of the installation. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

What is the correct height to hang curtains?

For a standard residential installation, curtain tracks and rods are typically mounted 15–20cm above the window frame, and curtains are hung to floor length or to the windowsill depending on the room and style. We advise on the best height for your specific room and window proportions at the time of installation.

Do you install motorised and smart blinds?

Yes — we install motorised roller blinds, motorised venetians, and smart home-integrated blind systems. Motorised blind installation includes the motor fitting, power connection (battery or mains), and remote pairing or app setup depending on the brand and system supplied.

Are cordless blinds required for children’s rooms in Australia?

The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) and AS/NZS 2080 strongly recommend cordless or cord-inaccessible blinds in rooms used by children under 12 years old, due to the strangulation risk from loose blind cords. We install cordless and wand-operated blinds to meet these safety recommendations in children’s bedrooms and playrooms.

Can you reinstall blinds and curtains after a renovation or painting?

Yes — we regularly reinstall curtains, blinds, and plantation shutters after painting and renovation work across the Wollongong and Illawarra region. We can also adjust bracket heights and positions if your windows or walls have changed during the renovation.

Do you service areas outside Wollongong for blind and curtain installation?

Yes — we service the full Illawarra and South Coast region including Shellharbour, Kiama, Gerringong, Albion Park, Dapto, Thirroul, Corrimal, Fairy Meadow, and all surrounding areas for curtain and blind installation work.
