PVC blinds are designed for spaces that demand durability and easy care
Moisture, heat, and everyday use make PVC venetian blinds a smart choice for kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, rentals, and coastal homes. They’re moisture-resistant, easy to clean, and won’t absorb humidity, helping them maintain their shape and finish over time
Our PVC blinds are made to measure for NZ homes and supplied with clear DIY installation guidance, with professional service available if preferred. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance blind that delivers reliable performance and a clean, modern look, PVC is a proven option

PVC blinds are a practical, cost-effective alternative to wooden venetians, particularly in areas where durability and easy maintenance matter
PVC does not absorb humidity, making PVC venetian blinds a reliable choice for kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and coastal homes where steam and splashes are part of daily life
If you’re searching for PVC blinds for kitchen windows or a durable bathroom solution, this is exactly what they’re designed for
Not all PVC blinds are created equal
Ours use high-grade PVC slats, properly engineered headrails, and smooth internal mechanisms to ensure consistent operation and long-term reliability. The slats have a solid feel and are properly supported, helping them maintain alignment, resist sagging, and handle everyday wear
Correct sizing, quality hardware, and careful assembly matter just as much as the material itself. That’s where real durability comes from
PVC blinds are designed to be easy-care
Most marks wipe away with a damp cloth. There’s no sealing, oiling, or special treatment required. In busy households or rental properties, that simplicity is a major advantage
Lower-grade PVC can discolour or distort over time, particularly in high-heat or high-UV areas. Using quality, UV-stable PVC helps maintain colour and shape, even in sun-exposed windows
If low maintenance is high on your list, PVC is a practical, sensible choice
Like all PVC venetian blinds, they offer precise light and privacy control
Tilt the slats to soften harsh sun. Close fully for privacy. Lift completely when you want an unobstructed view
Because our PVC slats hold their shape well, they maintain clean horizontal lines when open or closed — helping your PVC window blinds look sharp throughout the day
They’re well suited to living rooms and bedrooms too, especially where durability and easy cleaning are priorities. If you want PVC blinds NZ homeowners trust for both function and simplicity, this style delivers everyday reliability
PVC blinds are typically heavier than wooden and aluminium alternatives due to the solid polymer slats and reinforced headrail construction. That added weight gives them a more substantial feel and stable operation
On very wide windows, larger spans may require two blinds rather than one to ensure smooth lifting and long-term alignment. We’ll guide you on the best layout to maintain clean lines and reliable performance
As with any venetian blind, correct sizing and proper support are essential — which is why every blind is made to measure for your window
PVC blinds work particularly well in:
• Kitchens
• Bathrooms
• Laundries
• Rental properties
• Coastal homes
• Busy family spaces
They’re a smart choice wherever durability and low maintenance matter more than delicate finishes
All our PVC blinds are made to measure in New Zealand, using quality components suited to NZ conditions
Because each blind is custom manufactured, typical production time is 2–3 weeks. This allows for accurate sizing, proper assembly, and quality checks — not rushed, mass-produced shortcuts
Once manufacturing is complete, allow a further 1–4 working days for courier delivery, depending on your location, or to schedule installation if you’ve chosen our service option
Our PVC blinds are made in NZ for long-term durability and reliable after-sales support
Our PVC venetian blinds NZ range includes a small but carefully selected palette of modern colours suited to kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and living areas. Designed for moisture resistance and everyday durability, these smooth-finish blades look sharp and are built for lasting quality Available in 50 mm and 63 mm blade options to suit different window sizes and design preferences)
Our PVC venetian blinds are available in a carefully selected range of modern, versatile colours designed to suit New Zealand homes
White remains the most popular choice for bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and coastal homes, offering a clean, crisp finish that works with almost any interior. For those wanting a softer tone, Cream and Canvas provide a warmer alternative while still maintaining a bright, practical look
All colours are manufactured using high-grade PVC slats, designed to resist moisture, everyday wear, and colour instability over time. These aren’t thin, lightweight imports — they’re solid, durable slats built for long-term performance in NZ conditions
PVC blinds are available in 50 mm and 63 mm slat sizes, allowing you to tailor both the look and light control:
50 mm slats – the most versatile option, suited to most window sizes and room types. Most economical choice in PVC blinds
63 mm slats – wider spacing, fewer blades, and a slightly more architectural look for larger windows. Due to the increased material and hardware requirements, 63 mm slats are priced slightly higher
If you're unsure which slat size will suit your window best, we’ll guide you. Every blind is made to measure, ensuring clean alignment, smooth operation, and a proportion that feels intentional — not off-the-shelf
Accurate measuring ensures your made-to-measure PVC venetian blinds fit cleanly and operate smoothly. The process is simple — but precision matters. Most PVC blinds are installed inside the window jamb for a neat, built-in look. Follow the steps below and record measurements in millimetres (mm)
Measure the inside width of the window jamb — inside edge to inside edge. Take three measurements: at the top, in the middle, and near the bottom. Record the smallest width in millimetres (mm). Using the smallest measurement ensures your PVC blind sit neatly inside the jamb without rubbing or binding. Always hold the tape measure level and measure from wood to wood
Measure the inside height of the window jamb. Take three measurements: on the left, in the centre, and on the right. Record the smallest measurement in millimetres (mm). If you notice a high point in the sill, measure the height at that point as well. Using the shortest drop ensures the bottom rail clears the sill and sits level when lowered
When requesting a quote for your PVC blinds NZ, enter your measurements as: Width × Drop (in millimetres). If selecting professional measuring and installation, approximate measurements are fine for pricing — final dimensions will be confirmed before manufacture. If ordering DIY, measurements must be accurate before production begins, as each blind is custom made
Installing made-to-measure PVC venetian blinds is straightforward for confident DIYers. Most PVC blinds are fitted inside the window jamb for a clean, built-in look.
Follow the steps below for standard inside fit installation. Detailed guides for both inside and outside fit are available further down the page
Unpack your PVC blinds — all brackets and fixings are included
You’ll need:
Drill or screwdriver with correct bit
Screws and brackets (supplied)
Pencil and tape measure
Step ladder (if required)
Before fixing anything, hold the headrail in place and check:
Jamb depth
Clearance for handles or latches
Final position relative to the architrave
PVC venetian blinds are solid and durable, so ensure stable footing while installing
Position the brackets inside the jamb at your preferred depth, checking for any obstructions
A clean finish is usually achieved by setting brackets slightly back from the architrave face so the blind and fascia sits neatly recessed
Install one bracket at each end. Intermediate brackets are required on wider PVC blinds — space them evenly across the width and avoid placing them directly by ladder cords
Mark screw holes, drill pilot holes if needed, and fix brackets securely, ensuring they are level and aligned
With brackets secured, slide the headrail into position and clip it firmly into place. Ensure all bracket gates are fully locked
Lower, raise, and tilt the slats to confirm smooth operation and proper alignment
Correctly installed, your PVC venetian blinds will sit square, operate smoothly, and maintain clean lines across the window
Prefer not to DIY? We offer professional measuring and installation in most main centres across NZ
Downloadable guides for inside fit and outside fit PVC blinds are available below
All our made-to-measure PVC blinds come with a full 5-year warranty, covering defects in materials, components, and workmanship under normal residential use.
We use high-grade PVC slats, reinforced headrails, and quality internal mechanisms, and every blind is quality-checked before leaving production. The warranty reflects the confidence we have in how our PVC venetian blinds are built.
When measured correctly, installed properly, and used as intended, PVC blinds are designed to provide reliable light control and smooth operation for years to come

Workmanship issues
Incorrect measuring or installation
Misuse, accidental damage, or negligence
Improper cleaning or maintenance
Normal wear and tear over time
If something does go wrong, start by sending us a clear photo and brief description. In many cases we can assist remotely or supply replacement components without needing the blind returned.

We could not have done the windows perfectly without his constant help, he was very patient with my frequent emails of panic!!

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. Dayle Candy, Harcourt's, North Shore, Auckland

What are PVC blinds?
PVC blinds are venetian blinds made with rigid PVC slats rather than timber or aluminium. They have the classic horizontal venetian look, with tilting slats for privacy and light control
They’re a practical option for NZ homes because they are moisture-resistant, easy to clean, durable, and cost-effective. PVC blinds are especially popular for kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, rentals, coastal homes and busy family spaces
Are PVC blinds the same as faux wood blinds?
PVC blinds are often described as faux wood blinds because they give a similar wide-slat venetian look without being made from natural timber
They are made from rigid PVC, which makes them moisture-resistant, easy to clean and practical for bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and coastal homes. If you want the warmer look of real timber, wooden blinds may be the better choice; if moisture resistance and easy care matter most, PVC blinds are usually the smarter option
Are these PVC roller blinds?
No — this page is for PVC venetian blinds, not PVC roller blinds
PVC venetian blinds have horizontal blades that tilt open and closed for privacy and light control. Roller blinds use fabric that rolls up and down on a tube
If you’re looking for roller blinds, see our Blockout Blinds, Sunscreen Blinds or Sheer Roller Blinds pages
Are these outdoor PVC blinds?
No — these PVC blinds are indoor PVC venetian blinds
They are designed for indoor windows in kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, living rooms, bedrooms, rentals and coastal homes. They are not clear PVC outdoor blinds, patio blinds, café blinds or roll-up outdoor screens
For outdoor areas, see our outdoor blinds
Are PVC blinds good for bathrooms?
Yes — PVC blinds are one of the best blind options for bathrooms
PVC does not absorb humidity like some natural materials can, making it well suited to bathrooms, ensuites and other moisture-prone rooms. The slats are easy to wipe clean and handle everyday steam and splashes well
For bathrooms, PVC venetian blinds are a smart choice when you want privacy, light control and a clean finish without choosing a fabric blind
Are PVC blinds waterproof?
The PVC slats themselves are highly moisture-resistant and suitable for wet-area rooms such as bathrooms, kitchens and laundries
However, a PVC venetian blind is still an indoor window blind with cords, headrail components and moving parts — so it should not be treated like an outdoor blind or hosed down. For normal indoor moisture, steam and splashes, PVC blinds are a very practical option
Are PVC blinds good for condensation?
Yes — PVC blinds are a good option for rooms where condensation is common, such as bathrooms, kitchens and laundries
PVC slats do not absorb moisture, so they are not likely to swell or be affected by damp indoor conditions. You should still ventilate the room where possible and wipe away heavy condensation, but PVC venetian blinds are well suited to normal NZ wet-area use
Are PVC blinds good for kitchens and laundries?
Yes — PVC blinds work very well in kitchens and laundries because they are easy to clean and moisture-resistant
Kitchen windows often deal with steam, cooking residue and regular handling. Laundry areas can also be humid. PVC venetian blinds are designed for exactly this kind of everyday use, giving you privacy, light control and a wipe-clean surface
Are PVC blinds suitable for coastal homes?
Yes — PVC blinds are a sensible option for many coastal NZ homes
Their moisture-resistant slats and easy-clean surface make them well suited to humid or salty-air environments. They are often chosen for beach houses, baches, bathrooms, laundries and other practical spaces where durability matters
For outdoor areas, patios or clear PVC screens, see our outdoor blinds
Are PVC blinds easy to clean?
Yes — PVC blinds are very low maintenance
Most dust and marks can be removed with a soft cloth, duster or damp cloth. There is no oiling, staining or sealing required, which makes PVC venetian blinds a good option for rentals, family homes and high-use rooms
Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners — boring advice, but useful if you want them looking sharp long-term
How do I clean the PVC blind cords?
PVC blind cords do not usually need much attention, but they can be cleaned carefully if they become marked
Start with a slightly damp cloth and a mild cleaner. Test a small section first, then gently wipe the cord without soaking it. Avoid harsh solvents, bleach, abrasive cleaners, or getting cleaner into the headrail or cord-lock mechanism
Make sure any cleaner is fully removed afterward, as residue on the cord may affect smooth operation through the cord lock. If the cords are badly stained, professional blind cleaning or re-cording with fresh cord may be the better option
Are PVC blinds durable?
Yes — good quality PVC blinds are durable, especially when they use solid, UV-stable slats and proper supporting hardware
They are designed to handle everyday use, moisture-prone rooms and regular cleaning. The key is quality: cheaper PVC blinds can sag, yellow or distort over time, while well-made PVC venetian blinds hold their shape and appearance much better
Do PVC blinds warp, sag or yellow?
Quality matters here
Good PVC blinds use high-grade, UV-stable slats designed to hold their shape and colour under normal indoor use. Lower-grade PVC blinds can discolour, distort or sag over time, especially in hot or high-UV windows
Our PVC blinds use solid, smooth-finish slats and proper support, helping them maintain alignment, resist sagging and deliver lasting quality
Do PVC blinds give off toxic gas?
No — our PVC blinds do not give off toxic gas
Now and again people ask this because they may have seen or experienced lower-grade plastic products elsewhere. We use reputable, proven PVC blind suppliers with high-grade slats that have been used in NZ conditions for years
Occasionally there may be a mild “new product” or plastic smell when first unpacked, but this is uncommon, not unpleasant, and not something our customers have raised as an issue. If you are still unsure about PVC as a material, our wooden blinds may be a better fit for you
Are PVC blinds good for rental properties?
Yes — PVC blinds are a strong choice for rental properties
They are durable, easy to clean, moisture-resistant and cost-effective compared with many premium window covering options. That makes them practical for kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and general living areas in investment properties
For landlords and property managers, PVC venetian blinds offer a good balance of appearance, price and everyday durability
What’s more economical — wooden blinds or PVC blinds?
PVC blinds are more economical than wooden venetian blinds
As a guide, our 50mm PVC blinds are roughly 20% more economical than our 50mm wooden blinds. Similarly our 63mm PVC blinds are roughly 23% more economical than our 60mm wooden blinds. That makes PVC a strong choice if you want the wide-slat venetian look, moisture resistance, and a lower price point than wooden venetians
That said, don’t buy on price alone. PVC blinds are durable and moisture-resistant, but they are also heavier to lift and operate. Wooden blinds may be preferable where lighter operation, timber warmth, and a more natural finish matter more
Should I choose PVC blinds or wooden blinds?
Choose PVC blinds when moisture resistance, easy cleaning and durability are the main priorities — especially for bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, rentals and coastal homes
Choose wooden blinds when you prefer a warmer, natural look and want a lighter blind to operate. Both can look excellent, but they suit slightly different priorities
If you are unsure, get a quote for both PVC blinds and wooden blinds and compare the look, price and practical considerations before deciding
Should I choose PVC blinds or aluminium blinds?
PVC blinds have a more solid, substantial feel and are usually chosen when you want a wider slat, classic venetian look and easy-clean durability
Aluminium blinds are lighter, slimmer and often better for very narrow jambs or smaller windows. If your window has limited depth, 25mm aluminium venetians may be a better fit than PVC blinds
For bathrooms, kitchens and high-use areas, PVC blinds are often the more practical “solid slat” option
Are PVC blinds heavy?
PVC blinds are heavier than aluminium blinds and heavier than wooden blinds
That weight comes from the solid polymer slats. It gives PVC blinds a substantial feel, but it also means very large blinds can be harder to lift and may require assistance from your other hand (under the bottom rail) when raising the blind
For wider windows, you might consider splitting the opening into two PVC blinds rather than making one large blind. This helps with smoother lifting, better alignment and longer-term reliability
Do PVC blinds block out light?
PVC venetian blinds provide excellent privacy and adjustable light control, but they are not complete blackout blinds
Like all venetian blinds, light can pass between the blades, through the side gaps, and around the headrail and bottom rail. They are ideal when you want privacy and control over the angle of sunlight entering the room, but not when you need complete darkness
For bedrooms, nurseries or shift-work rooms where darkness is the priority, see our Blockout Blinds or SmartBlock blackout blind system
Are PVC blinds good for bedrooms?
PVC blinds can work well in bedrooms where privacy, durability and easy cleaning are the main priorities
They let you tilt the blades for privacy while still allowing some daylight into the room. However, PVC venetian blinds are not complete blackout blinds, so they won’t create the same dark room effect as a blockout roller blind or SmartBlock system
If sleep, shift work, nurseries or maximum darkness are the priority, Blockout Blinds or SmartBlock will usually be the better choice
Do PVC blinds help with insulation?
PVC blinds provide some extra barrier between the room and the glass, but they are not a specialist insulation blind
Their main strengths are privacy, light control, moisture resistance and easy cleaning. If thermal performance is your main goal, honeycomb blinds are the far stronger option because their cellular structure is designed to trap air and improve insulation
PVC blinds are best chosen for durability, practicality and wet-area suitability — not as your primary thermal solution
What are the side light gaps on PVC blinds?
For inside-fit PVC blinds, you should expect small side gaps between the blade ends and the window frame
As a guide, side gaps are usually around 5–8mm each side. These gaps are required so the blind can lift, lower and tilt without scraping or binding against the jamb
PVC blinds provide strong privacy and light control, but they are not a sealed blackout system. If you need the darkest room possible, see SmartBlock
Will there be bigger gaps at the bottom of my PVC blinds when tilted closed?
Yes — this is normal with PVC blinds and all venetian blinds
When the slats are tilted closed, the blades closest to the headrail close more tightly than the blades further down. On taller PVC blinds, the gaps near the bottom can be more noticeable because of distance, angle of view, slat weight and ladder cord movement
This does not affect privacy, but light leakage can be slightly greater near the bottom of full-drop PVC blinds. It’s not a fault — it’s venetian blind physics doing its thing, whether invited or not
How high off the window sill should my PVC blinds sit?
Our PVC blinds are designed to finish with a small gap at the bottom
The factory takes approximately 5mm off your measured drop so the bottom rail sits just above the sill when the blind is tilted closed. When the blind is tilted open, the bottom rail may sit roughly 20mm above the sill, depending on slat spacing and the overall blind drop
This gap prevents the bottom rail from hitting the sill, sitting crooked or bunching when the blind is fully lowered and tilted. If you prefer the blind to sit hard down on the sill, you can add 10mm to your wood-to-wood drop measurement — but only do so knowing the blind may touch or sit unevenly at the bottom
What slat sizes are available for PVC blinds?
Our PVC blinds are available in 50mm and 60mm slat sizes
50mm slats are the most versatile option and suit most window sizes and room types. 60mm slats have wider spacing (more view), fewer blades and a slightly more architectural look, especially on larger windows
60mm PVC blinds are more expensive because they use larger slats. If you’re unsure which size suits your window, we’ll guide you
What’s the difference between 50mm and 63mm PVC blinds?
The difference is blade size, appearance and price
50mm PVC blinds are the most versatile option and suit most windows and room types. They give a classic venetian look and are available in White, Cream and Canvas
63mm PVC blinds have wider blades, fewer horizontal lines, and a slightly more architectural look. They are available in White only and are priced higher than the 50mm PVC blinds
What colours are available for your PVC blinds?
Our PVC blinds are available in three popular colours: White, Cream and Canvas
These colours are selected because they suit most NZ homes and work especially well in bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and living spaces. Blades, cords and toggles are colour matched as closely as practical across the available range
There is no price difference between the 50mm PVC blind colours. The 63mm PVC blind is available in White only
Are there price differences between PVC blind colours?
No — there are no price differences between the PVC blind colours within the same slat size
Whether you choose Cream, Canvas, or White, the price is the same. There is a price difference between the 50mm and the 63mm slat sizes however
Do your PVC blinds have a smooth or embossed finish?
Our PVC blinds have a smooth finish, not an embossed woodgrain finish
The smooth-finish blades give a clean, modern look and are easy to wipe down. They’re ideal if you want a practical venetian blind with simple lines, moisture resistance and low maintenance
If you prefer a more natural timber texture, see our Wooden Blinds
Can I get PVC blind samples before ordering?
Yes — we can send loan samples so you can check the colour and finish before ordering
Samples are especially useful with PVC blinds because White, Cream and Canvas can look different depending on wall colour, flooring, lighting and surrounding joinery. Seeing the colour in your own home is the safest way to choose
We recommend checking samples in both daylight and evening light before making your final decision
What's the narrowest PVC blind you make?
The absolute minimum width we can make a PVC blind is 280mm wide
Very narrow PVC blinds have limited space inside the headrail, so the blind width determines which control options are possible
280–299mm wide: tilt-only PVC blinds
300–399mm wide: split control PVC blinds
400mm wide and above: combined control PVC blinds
A tilt-only PVC blind means the slats tilt open and closed for light and privacy, but the blind does not raise and lower. This is used on very narrow blinds where there is not enough room inside the headrail for the lift cords and cord-lock mechanism
A split control blind has the tilt control and lift control on opposite sides. A combined control blind has both controls on the same side which is what we use from 400mm and wider
PVC blinds under 350mm wide also attract an undersized blind surcharge of $125 per blind, due to the extra work and limitations involved in manufacturing these very narrow blinds. Your quote will reflect this charge

What are the maximum sizes for PVC blinds?
Maximum PVC blind sizing depends on both width and drop
The maximum width is 2700mm, but the available drop reduces as the blind gets wider. Up to 1300mm wide, a maximum drop of 3000mm can be achieved. At the full 2700mm width, the maximum drop is 1400mm
Maximum width/drop combinations include (width x drop):
For very wide windows, splitting the opening into two blinds may give better operation and longevity
What are the stack heights of your PVC blinds?
Stack height means the space the PVC venetian blind takes up at the top of the window when fully raised. This includes the headrail, slats and bottom rail
Approximate PVC blind stack heights are:
600mm drop blinds has a 118mm stack height
700mm — 126mm stack
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
3000mm — 308mm
For drops between these sizes, stack height can be estimated proportionally. Stack height is especially worth considering on doors, ranch sliders and full-drop windows where you walk through or want maximum glass clearance
If stack height is a concern, more compact options include roller blinds, aluminium venetian blinds or honeycomb blinds. These generally take up less space at the top of the window when raised, making them better suited where clear access or maximum view-through is important
Are PVC blinds suitable for doors and sliders?
PVC blinds can be used on some doors and sliders, but they are not always the best option
Because PVC venetian blinds are heavier and have a noticeable stack height when raised, they may not be ideal on doors you walk through often. The raised stack can sit in the way, and the blind may be more cumbersome to lift daily
For doors and sliders, we’ll look at the width, drop, traffic flow and how you use the space before recommending PVC blinds. In many cases, roller blinds, vertical blinds, honeycomb blinds or sliding shutters may suit better
What jamb depth is required for PVC blinds?
The PVC blind headrail and fascia take up approximately 70mm of jamb depth
To comfortably fit either a 50mm or 63mm PVC blind inside the window jamb without protruding past the architrave face, you need at least 70mm clear depth. More than 70mm is fine and simply lets you choose where the blind sits within the jamb
Check handles, latches, hinges or window winders, as these can reduce usable depth. If your jamb is shallow, 25mm aluminium venetian blinds or honeycomb blinds may be a better fit
Can PVC blinds be inside fit or outside fit?
Yes — PVC blinds can be made as either inside fit or outside fit
Inside fit is the most common choice when there is enough jamb depth, giving a clean built-in look. Outside fit works well when the jamb is too shallow, the window hardware gets in the way, or you prefer the blind to sit over the architrave
For outside-fit PVC blinds, we use a tidy fascia with mitred returns to help finish the headrail neatly
How are outside-fit PVC blind fascias finished?
Outside-fit PVC blinds are supplied with a flat fascia and tidy mitred returns
The fascia helps cover the headrail and gives the blind a more finished look when it is mounted outside the window jamb. The fascia is attached to the headrail using heavy-duty 3M Velcro, rather than visible clips
Outside-fit fascia returns are usually 70mm, with 45-degree mitred corners. If you are mounting on the architrave and want the return to reach the wall, let us know so this can be allowed for
Are PVC blinds easy to measure for?
Yes — PVC blinds are straightforward to measure for if your window is square and accessible
For inside fit, measure the width in three places and record the smallest width. Then measure the drop in three places and record the smallest drop. Always measure in millimetres and check for handles, latches or other obstructions which can rob available jamb depth
See the measuring section further up this page for the full step-by-step guide. It’s also worth reviewing the installing section before ordering, so you understand what’s involved with fixing the brackets, clipping in the headrail and checking the blind operates smoothly
If you’re not confident, choose our professional measuring and installation service where available. Approximate measurements are fine for quoting when we are doing the final measure for you
Can I install PVC blinds myself?
Yes — PVC blinds can be installed by confident DIYers with basic tools
The key is accurate measuring, secure brackets and correct positioning inside the jamb. PVC blinds are heavier than aluminium blinds, so wider blinds need proper bracket support and care when lifting into place
We provide measuring and installation instructions, and professional measuring and installation by us is available if you prefer not to DIY
Are PVC blinds easy to install?
Yes — PVC blinds are manageable for confident DIYers with basic tools
Most PVC blinds are fitted inside the window jamb using brackets supplied with the blind. Wider blinds may include centre brackets for additional support. Once the brackets are fixed securely and level, the headrail slides and clips into place
PVC blinds are heavier than many other blind types, so take care with larger blinds and use two people where needed
See the installing section further up this page for the full step-by-step guide before starting the job
Do you offer professional measuring and installation?
Yes — professional measuring and installation is available in many main centres around New Zealand
This is a good option if you have larger PVC blinds, tricky windows, limited jamb depth, or simply prefer not to DIY. If you want professional measuring and installation, we can quote first from your approximate measurements. If you proceed, we then visit to confirm the final exact dimensions before manufacture
DIY remains the most economical option, and we provide measuring and installation instructions if you’re comfortable doing it yourself
What brackets are required to install my PVC blinds?
All required brackets are supplied with your new PVC blinds
Most often, you’ll find the brackets attached to the PVC blind headrail. Each blind includes a left-hand end bracket and a right-hand end bracket, stamped L and R. These end brackets have a hinged gate that faces into the room, with the hinge positioned at the top
PVC blinds 1700mm wide and wider are also supplied with an intermediate support bracket. This provides extra support across the headrail for wider blinds and is usually comes taped to the headrail
For the full step-by-step process, see the installing PVC blinds section
Do large PVC blinds need centre brackets?
Yes — wider PVC blinds require centre support brackets
As a guide:
Centre brackets help support the headrail, maintain alignment and keep the blind operating smoothly over time. They should be positioned so they don’t interfere with the ladder cords or internal mechanisms
Can you supply sill hold-down clips for PVC blinds?
Yes — sill hold-down clips can be supplied if required
Hold-down clips are useful when you want the bottom rail secured, such as on some doors, narrow openings, or windows where movement may be an issue. They help keep the blind more controlled when lowered
Let us know when requesting your quote if you want hold-down clips included
Can you make angled or specialty shaped PVC blinds?
No — we do not make angled top, raked, arched or specialty-shaped PVC blinds
PVC venetian blinds are made as standard rectangular blinds only. For shaped windows, shutters are usually the best made-to-measure option because they can be manufactured to suit many non-standard window shapes
If you have an angled, arched or shaped window, fill out a shutter quote enquiry using the widest width and tallest drop dimensions, then send us clear photos of the window. We’ll review the shape and confirm whether shutters can be manufactured for it
Another option is to outside-fit a rectangular venetian blind or roller blind over the full window opening, covering the shaped area as one standard rectangle. This won’t follow the window shape, but it can be a simpler and more economical solution where privacy or light control matters more than matching the exact shape
Can I cut or trim PVC blinds myself?
We do not recommend cutting or trimming PVC blinds yourself
Our PVC blinds are made to measure, so the safest approach is to supply accurate dimensions before manufacture. Cutting the blind after it has been made can affect blade alignment, headrail operation, warranty, and the finished appearance
Before ordering, read the measuring instructions carefully, take your time measuring, and check that your width and drop measurements are written down correctly in millimetres. A few extra minutes checking at the start is much better than trying to fix the blind later
How long do PVC blinds take to be made and delivered?
Our made-to-measure PVC blinds are typically manufactured in 2–3 weeks
Once complete, courier delivery usually takes a further 1–4 working days depending on your location. If you’ve chosen professional measuring and installation, we’ll confirm timing with you as part of the booking process
Because each PVC venetian blind is custom made to your window size, the lead time allows for accurate manufacturing, proper assembly and quality checks before despatch
What warranty comes with your PVC blinds?
Our PVC blinds come with a 5-year warranty covering defects in materials, components and workmanship under normal residential use
We use high-grade PVC slats, quality headrails and reliable internal mechanisms, and every blind is checked before leaving production. The warranty does not cover incorrect measuring, incorrect installation, misuse, accidental damage, improper maintenance or normal wear and tear. Here are the full warranty terms
If something does go wrong, send us a photo/video and a brief description. We’ll let you know the best next step
