Our comprehensive guide ensures you choose the right fit for your space, whether it’s a sleek, modern look or a more traditional aesthetic PVC blind you’re after
Whether you want SERVICE (we do the check measure and the installation for you) or you’re a happy DIY type – you’re covered and in good hands here. Our expert team is on hand to provide bespoke solutions for any window size or shape
PVC blinds are easy-peasy to measure for and install (full instructions down the page); just choose the ‘DIY option’. Find out about our range of colours to best match your décor. And in terms of service, if you are in or near a main New Zealand centre we should be able to help; just choose the ‘SERVICE option’
Enhance your home’s energy efficiency with our insulating PVC blinds, designed to reduce heat loss and control natural light. All quotes, either way, start with getting an initial quote from your measurements; approximate or exact, SERVICE or DIY
Putting it straight out there; I’m not a super fan of PVC blinds personally. Sure, they are super robust when made from high-grade plastics offering unmatched durability and resilience against fading, ensuring your blinds maintain their colour and functionality over time
However, few people appreciate that they are considerably heavier than their wooden Venetian counterparts. This added weight contributes to their superior ability to withstand high humidity and direct sunlight, making them ideal for use in kitchens and bathrooms where moisture levels are high
Another overlooked aspect of PVC blinds is, because they are noticeably heavier, they have more ‘ladders’ to support the blades and their extra weight. This design feature enhances their structural integrity, ensuring long-lasting performance. This does mean more ‘stringy’ bits in your view though. Yet, this unique construction does not detract from their sleek appearance and ease of operation. Don’t let me deter you necessarily; read the next section to see where PVC blinds excel
And don’t feel stuck thinking you need all PVC blinds or all wooden Venetians though your home; the versatility of PVC blinds allows for seamless integration into any interior design scheme and they look pretty close to one another so it’s fine to mix and match as the specific environment demands
If the bathroom at your place gets hot and steamy maybe PVC blinds are the best choice. Their waterproof nature ensures they resist mould and mildew, maintaining a pristine appearance with minimal maintenance. Or the kids splash up a storm doing dishes perhaps a PVC blind is best here too? The easy-to-wipe surface makes cleaning spills and splashes a breeze, ensuring your blinds look new for years to come
You can get PVC blinds we wet as you like, wipe them down, and most things you splatter on them will wipe straight off. This low-maintenance feature, combined with its robust construction, makes it a practical and stylish choice for busy households. Care should be taken with any blind product however these are pretty darn tough and sturdy
So in summary, if you’re expecting rain indoors, or a rugby match played in the lounge, PVC blinds may well be the winning blind of choice, offering unparalleled durability and ease of care
Leading on from the ‘considerations’ section above (explaining how PVC blinds are heavier than any other Venetian type) – this also means that the maximum width of PVC blinds is less, comparatively. This could mean separate blinds are needed across bigger spans with larger drops
Our custom design service ensures a perfect fit, maximising the aesthetic and functional benefits of your PVC blinds. The maximum width of our PVC blinds is 2400mm at a max drop of 2000. Crafted with precision and care, our blinds provide optimal light control and privacy, enhancing the comfort and security of your home. The max drop achievable is 2600mm at a width of 1600mm
All the PVC blinds here are made using high-grade PVC that doesn’t warp or bow and do outlast a great deal of lesser offerings available. Their exceptional build quality, coupled with a sleek design, makes them a superior choice for discerning homeowners. These PVC blinds are made by a team with more than 20 years experience making Venetians. Leveraging decades of expertise, we ensure each blind meets our exacting standards for quality and performance
There are no short-cuts taken manufacturing these PVC blinds. Our commitment to excellence is evident in every blind we produce, promising durability, functionality, and style. Truly superior parts, materials and workmanship are used when compared to most
Like all Venetians, PVC blinds make controlling the direction and intensity of light as easy as adjusting the tilt cords. This precise control allows you to enhance the ambience of your space with soft, filtered light or complete privacy
You control your privacy the same way; just tweak that tilt cord how you like and set the feel of any room. The flexibility of PVC blinds in light management makes them an excellent choice for creating the perfect atmosphere in any setting, from your home office to the bedroom. You’re also managing room temperature this way on those hot summer days
Their insulating properties help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, contributing to energy efficiency. You create the right indoor environment for your needs, easily. Optimising both function and style, PVC blinds are the ultimate solution for modern living spaces seeking both aesthetic appeal and practicality
Allow 10–15 working days to manufacture and freight your new PVC blinds. This timeframe ensures each blind is crafted to our high standards, guaranteeing satisfaction. If we’re professionally installing for you perhaps allow a few more days just to schedule you in with the installer
Our dedicated team works diligently to meet these timelines, ensuring a smooth and timely installation. PVC blinds are made in Auckland using high-grade polymers only (no cheap crap) and overseen by staff with over 20 years of experience in manufacturing PVC blinds. This commitment to quality materials and craftsmanship means your blinds not only look great but last longer
Our PVC blinds are made here in NZ
The most common PVC blind colour choice by far has been white. However if you want a little something else, for your home, there are two other modern colours on offer below. From classic white to contemporary hues, our palette is designed to complement any decor style. All colours are the same price. Choose a colour and ‘Get A Quote’. This flexibility in design and colour options ensures that your blinds not only serve a functional purpose but also enhance the overall aesthetic of your space)
Follow the below measuring steps and it couldn’t be easier to get perfect fitting PVC blinds every time. This straightforward process is designed to remove the guesswork, ensuring your blinds fit as if they were custom-made for your windows. Repeat the mantra; Measure the width 3 times; measure the drop 3 times This meticulous approach to measurement guarantees the precision needed for a flawless fit and finish. By doing this you’re allowing for any irregularities in the window frame and you’re rechecking what you’re reading off the measuring tape and writing down Accuracy in these measurements is crucial for achieving the desired level of light control and privacy. It takes the ‘measure twice, cut once’ principle to a whole new level. Ensuring that every blind is the perfect complement to your home’s design For the most part PVC blinds go ‘inside the jamb’ – the following steps outline this approach, however ‘outside the jamb’ instructions are at the bottom of this section as a PDF as well
With that trusty tape measure of yours in hand, lets measure the width 3 times at 3 different heights. Hold it level as you measure, for best accuracy, and measure ‘wood to wood’-‘inside the jamb’. At three different heights; at the top, somewhere in the middle, and near the bottom Take the smallest reading; that’s the one to use. Supply measurements in millimetres only. Easy? Moving on…
Now for the drop, and much like above we’re going to measure the height at three different points across the width. Left, middle, and right. Wood to wood, inside edge to inside edge Hold that tape measure perpendicular for best accuracy and again take the lowest measurement after ensuring you are reading the numbers off the tape measure properly The lowest measurement is taken in this case too so your PVC blind bottom-rail sits neatly above the highest point of your window sill without hitting it
Hit ‘Get A Quote’ and send in your new PVC blind measurements. Millimetres always for best accuracy; width X drop If you need the service option (you’re getting us to check measure and do the installation) the measurements don’t have to be super exact however it’s good to be fairly accurate so the quote is good to go If you’re a DIY type choosing the DIY option your measurements will need to be exact as per above instructions before confirming your order, to avoid unnecessary tears and sleepless nights
It’s easy to install when you know how – just follow along below to make your installation a breeze. Our step-by-step guide is designed to empower you, whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned DIY enthusiast, ensuring a smooth and successful installation of your PVC blinds
For the most part PVC blinds will be going ‘inside the jamb’ so the following instructions here focus on that. Our detailed instructions are tailored to help you achieve a professional-looking installation with ease, enhancing the functionality and beauty of your space. If you need the ‘outside the jamb’ instructions, these are available as a downloadable PDF at the end of this section
This versatility ensures that regardless of your window type or installation preference, you’ll have all the information at your fingertips. Crack those knuckles and let’s get to it…
Gather the bits and pieces you’ll need for a successful installation: measuring tape, pencil, craft knife, screwdriver, supplied screws, and to really get up into the zone you may need a step ladder. This preparation step is key to a hassle-free installation, ensuring you have everything you need within reach
Know what you’re doing with power tools? You may want to upgrade the screwdriver for a power drill with the appropriate driver bit. Using the right tools not only makes the installation process smoother but also helps in achieving the perfect finish. You may even want to pre-drill your screw holes with a 2mm drill bit. This makes the screws go in easier. Pre-drilling prevents the wood from splitting and ensures that your blinds are securely mounted, providing peace of mind that they’re installed safely and correctly
Pre-installation stretches are recommended as well so you can really go the distance without fatigue. Now carefully unpack your PVC blinds to behold their glorious goodness. Taking these initial steps seriously sets the stage for a successful installation, allowing you to enjoy your new PVC blinds to their fullest
Ok, this next step needs some thought to achieve the best results – ‘how much depth will the PVC blind headrail take up, what depth of window jamb do I have to work with, what obstructions if any are present (handles, stays, latches or catches), and how deep do I want to blind set back, if at all, are all worthy questions to ask oneself
Setting the PVC blind about 10mm back from the architrave always looks pretty good. To achieve that, bearing in mind the fascia goes in front of the brackets, you may want to measure back about 15mm from the architrave to the front face of the bracket. Some shallower jambs may just mean you don’t set the PVC blind back at all...
Hold the bracket in the desired position and mark it with a pencil. Mark where the 2 screws per bracket will go. You can put the screws up through the top of the bracket or through the side of the bracket; it doesn’t really matter
Each end of a PVC blind needs an end bracket; there’s a left and a right and they’ll be marked accordingly (L & R). For PVC blinds 1.7m and over there will be intermediary bracket supplied with that specific blind. When marking these middle brackets; the back of an intermediary bracket should line up with the back of the end brackets
This is where the measuring tape is pretty useful. Again, mark your holes for fitting the screws and securing the brackets
TIP 1: Think about where you’re going to place intermediary brackets in relation to PVC blind ‘ladders’. That’s those dangly string bits holding the blind together. This can be done by lying the PVC blind down and measuring the best locations for any intermediary brackets
Well done, the brackets are secure and it’s time to fit your new PVC blinds. The end brackets have a hinge gate front to them. Leave one secured closed and have one wide open
Slide one end of the PVC blind headrail into the closed end bracket, lift the headrail high enough so the headrail will sit on the intermediary bracket (if there is one) and then slide the other end of the headrail into the open end bracket
Once the PVC blind is in, secure that bracket gate and it's ready to lower and operate. Just before sitting back and admiring your handiwork, you still have to put the fascia on the blind. Hold the fascia up level, hold centrally and fix to the headrail with the fixings supplied on the fascia
Our PVC blinds use materials designed for our sun and the warranty is robust to match. This comprehensive warranty reflects our confidence in the durability and quality of our products, offering you peace of mind. Your new PVC blinds come with a full 5-year warranty.

We stand behind our products, but it’s important to follow our guidelines to ensure your PVC blinds perform beautifully for years to come. General wear and tear of cords is not covered. This warranty complements our product offering, ensuring that you receive not only top-quality blinds but also top-notch support throughout their lifecycle

We moved to Whangarei in Dec last year from Scotland and were settling in our new home, getting it furnished while enjoying this amazing country. Covid hit in March and during that time we decided to check out Blinds Online Ltd to get quotes for PVC blinds. Our house has two glass corner windows (don't have these in Scotland) and we were worried about the measuring etc. Ryan was an absolute star in the whole process from start to finish, with drawings, helping with measurements all through email. We could not have done the windows perfectly without his constant help, he was very patient with my frequent emails of panic!!. I highly recommend this company not just for value for money but the PVC blinds themselves are awesome but their customer service is 100%. Thank you to Ryan, we are very happy customers.

Very easy to deal with and good, personal customer service. The PVC blinds are excellent and a year later are looking just as good as the day they were put up. The only thing that could be improved is the information provided to those who are installing their own PVC blinds. When we replace our next lot we will definitely use blinds online again. Thanks

Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish even though I didn't explain myself very well to start with. The turn around time was faster than I expected and the fitting was just so professional, no mess, no fuss. The price was a lot lower than anticipated as well which really was a bonus. Fantastic job all round, I'm very very happy with my PVC blinds.

My experience with Blinds Online was excellent. The company Business Manager was very professional, helpful and persistent (not pushy). Ryan provided superb customer support, was patient during the product pricing and selection process, and remained committed to providing a solution that we would be happy with, from a budget perspective and aesthetically. My PVC blinds look and feel great and I'm very happy with the quality. I would highly recommend Blinds Online Ltd.

We chose to get a quote from Blinds Online because of their high ratings on No Cowboys. I emailed them Sunday evening, got a prompt reply and Ryan came to quote the following morning before we went to work. We were always confident of receiving a quality product and reliable service and they certainly delivered both. Thank you.

I was referred to Ryan from Blinds Online by a satisfied customer of his. I left my message and checked him out online. Amazingly quite a few people I knew had used his service so I approached them all and asked for feedback. All his customers were effusive in their praise of his service and professionalism. Intrigued I made my appointment. Indeed Ryan was quietly competent getting quickly onto the job in hand. A day after we placed our order we discovered a glazing mistake with two new windows – one in the bathroom and one in the toilet left us somewhat exposed, contrary to belief. Without hesitation Ryan returned to the property knowing that he now had a brief which required quick supply. Before he arrived he had enquired and established that those two windows could have window coverings within a week. The order went in and true to promise one week to the day he not only had our bathroom and toilet windows but the house lot delivered and fitted. Without wanting to set him up for the future, to have a significant number of blinds delivered and fitted two weeks ahead of time and without fuss or hiccup seemed a somewhat extraordinary experience in this day and age of over promise and under delivery. We’re extremely happy with the referral we got and hope others can benefit from this exceptional service. I will not be hesitating to refer him to anyone in the future.

What's more economical – Woodens or PVC blinds?
PVC blinds are typically more economical than well made wooden venetians, generally speaking, across the industry. However our 50mm wooden venetians are super economical for the level of quality you get. So that said, our PVC blinds and our 50mm basswood venetians are pretty much on par with each other price wise. If either product would suit you I'd suggest getting a quote for both. In saying that, try not to buy on price alone; get the blinds that suit you and the purpose they are for. You have them for years ahead so best you like how they look and operate. I've worked hard to get these two products similarly priced, without compromise, so people don't just go with the cheaper option, overlooking some key considerations; PVC blinds are heavy to lift and use; this can lead to wear and tear on the product as well as the joy derived in their use day after day.
What brackets are required to install my PVC blinds?
All the brackets you require are supplied with your new PVC blinds. You'll most often find them attached to the PVC blind headrail. All PVC blinds have both a lefthand end bracket and a righthand end bracket. They are stamped (L) and (R). Both end brackets have a hinge gate which faces into the room with the hinge at the top. PVC blinds 1700mm wide and wider will come supplied with an intermediary bracket. This provides extra support for those wider PVC blinds. You will find the intermediary bracket taped to the headrail of any PVC blinds that require one. For full installation instructions, please see the 'INSTALLING' section further up this page.
Should there be bigger gaps at the bottom of my PVC blinds (when tilted closed) than at the top?
This is standard across all makes, brands and types of venetian blinds without exception. When the PVC blind blades are tilted closed, the blades don't close as tightly the further down the venetian you go. While the tilt mechanism, located in the headrail, is good at closing the blades closest to the headrail; the further down a PVC blind you go the bigger the gap between closed blades will be. This isn't noticeable in general however is more so on full drop PVC blinds because of their length (drop) but also because of the angle these bigger blinds are often viewed at; standing in front of the blind looking down. The gaps can't be avoided; its physics; you have distance, weight and ladder stretch preventing the tilt mechanisms from ever closing the bottom blades as tightly as the top ones. This doesn't jeopardise your privacy however the light leaks will be greater near the bottom of full drop PVC blinds. This phenomenon is described here to set the right expectations regarding PVC blind products. Again, this is standard across all makes, brands and types of venetian blinds.
Are there price differences between the PVC blind colours available?
There are no price differences between the different PVC blind colours. Whether you choose Alabaster, Canvas, Cedar Light, Stone or White, they are all priced the same.
What slat size are your PVC blinds?
Our PVC blinds come in one slat size only. 50mm.
What jamb depth is required for a 50mm PVC blind?
The PVC blind headrail and attached fascia take up approximately 70mm of jamb depth. So to comfortably house a PVC blind inside the jamb without protruding past the architrave face you'll need 70mm minimum. More jamb depth than 70mm is fine and just means you can choose the depth at which you set your PVC blinds. If you have ample depth I feel setting them 5-10mm back from the face of the architrave looks good. Keep in mind what handles, hinges, or latches you may have on your windows or doors and that they may take up available jamb depth. You'll need at least 70mm clear jamb depth to comfortably house the PVC blinds without them protruding past the architrave face. Sometimes you are stuck with shallower jambs however please know that the PVC blind will protrude into the room to some extent. Blinds that fit well in shallower jambs are either 25mm aluminium venetian blinds or honeycomb thermal blinds.
What is the narrowest PVC blind you can make?
The narrowest reveal width we can make a PVC blind for is 220mm wide. From 220mm up to 309mm there is only enough physical room in the headrail for the tilt control cords only; not the cords that lift and raise the blind. It's important to know that PVC blinds from 220-309mm wide will only be supplied with tilt cords, and that these are located in the middle of the PVC blind. At 310mm and wider both tilt and lift control cords are present and are located at either the L or the R, as you specify.
What are the 'stack heights' of your PVC blinds?
The 'stack height' of a PVC venetian blind refers to the height of the blind when it is fully raised. How much height it takes up at the top of the window reveal when raised. This measurement includes the head-rail, blind slats, and the bottom rail. For your reference, approximate 'stack heights' for our PVC Blinds are as follows: A PVC blind with a blind drop of 600mm, has a stack height of 118mm, 700mm drop has a stack of 126mm, 800mm = 134mm, 900mm = 142mm, 1000mm = 150mm, 1100mm = 158mm, 1200mm = 166mm, 1300mm = 174mm, 1400mm = 182mm, 1500mm = 190mm, 1600mm = 198mm, 1700mm = 206mm, 1800mm = 214mm, 1900mm = 222mm, 2000mm = 230mm, 2100mm = 238mm, 2200mm = 246mm, 2300mm = 254mm, 2400mm = 262mm, 2500mm = 270mm, 2600mm = 278mm, 2700mm = 284mm, 2800mm = 292mm, 2900mm = 300mm and a 3000mm PVC blind drop has a stack of 308mm. Please extrapolate for drops in-between these values.
How high off the window-sill should my PVC blinds sit?
There are differing opinions regarding what looks best in terms of the gap between the PVC blind bottom-rail and the window-sill, or whether there should be a gap at all. We design our PVC blinds to have a gap at the bottom. To achieve this the factory take 5mm off your measured drop to get a ‘finished when tilted closed size’. When the PVC blind is tilted fully closed the bottom-rail should sit about 5mm off the highest point of the sill. When the blind is fully open the bottom-rail will sit roughly 20mm above the sill. This however does depend on where that last venetian slat ends up, due to consistent blade spacings, and the overall blind drop. A gap of 20-30mm above the sill when the PVC blind is tilted open is expected and within our factory tolerances. If we didn’t design PVC venetians to sit about the sill or floor the bottom-rail would hit when the blind was tilted closed and would appear crooked or bunched at the bottom. We feel a 5-10mm gap is in proportion to the rest of the blind. The gaps between the blades themselves, and the side gaps between blades and the window frame, complement the bottom gap we feel. Please don't expect these measurements to be exact; there are always tolerances in manufacturing; these measurements should be used as a guide to understand the need for the gap at the bottom. If you like your PVC blinds hitting the sill with no gap at all please add 10mm to the ‘wood to wood’ drop measurements you submit. Do so knowing and understanding the implications explained above however.
How do I clean the PVC blind cords themselves?
I've been asked this twice in 12 years so I don't feel it really becomes an issue. If you were attempting this yourself and because the cords are non-stretch you could use a light cleaner. Something like Jif might be ok. Perhaps test a small section first. Ensure the cleaner is thoroughly cleaned off afterward as it may cause issues with the cord-lock operation. Another option is to have your PVC blinds professionally cleaned, asking specifically what you might expect in terms of the cords themselves. One blind cleaning option is Onsite Blind Cleaning & Repairs. A third option is to have your PVC blinds re-corded entirely with fresh cord. The above company could also look after you in that regard.
Do your PVC blinds give off a toxic gas?
Now and again I’ve had the odd person enquiring as to whether our PVC blinds give off a toxic smell or gas. While I suspect that lower grade solutions may do something like this, based on some people’s experience, I’ve never had any of my clients, after 12 years of business, bring this up as a concern or complaint. I have always used reputable proven suppliers when it comes to all my products and the PVC blind slats used here are no different. We use slats branded as ‘Woodefex’ and ‘Novawood’ for our two PVC blind solutions. Both use high-grade PVC’s and have been tested and used in NZ conditions for years and years. Our PVC blinds do not give off a toxic gas. Sometimes there is a whiff of ‘plastic’ smell, but that is uncommon, non toxic, nor unpleasant. If you still have concerns regarding PVC blinds, Wooden blinds may be a better solution for you.
