A: Go for a Blockout blind, Roman will do the best job, or otherwise have a look at our curtain range. These will also be excellent at blocking out noise. For the best noise protection, look at our Day/Night Roller blinds as this basically gives you 2 blinds to stop noise.

A: Unfortunately no one has come up with a fabric that gives you visibility and privacy by day and night; we do however have the next best thing! Our Day/Night Roller blinds, otherwise known as Double Roller blinds, allow you to use our Screen fabric in conjunction with a Blockout (e.g. Metroshade, Focus, Serengetti, and Gala), Translucent fabric (e.g. Palm Beach/Le Reve/Serengetti) or Screen fabric (e.g. Orora FR, Solarvie, One Screen). This means you can have the screen down during the day to give you sun protection but maintaining your view. Then by night you simply roll down the Blockout blind to give you night time privacy as well as blocking out the morning sun!

A: Our warranty is 3 years. The quality of the Blinds on the Net™ blinds is comparable to all the top name brands. We are very selective with the products we put our name to and we set our selves a very high standard. This means that you get the best possible product at the best possible price. In addition, the guarantee and warranty we provide exceeds those offered by most name brands.

A: Anything that is called “Blockout” on our website is 100% Blockout. This means that no sun will pass through the fabric. In Inside Recess Mount fits, you will have some light gaps around the sides to allow for running clearance but we use the best system on the market and this means the light gaps are kept to a minimum.

A: The simple answer is no, not by day. During the day when the light is greater outside, you have a very clear vision but no one can see in. This effect is reversed by night. This is the same with every screen style fabric. If you want privacy but still want to have light coming into the room then look at our translucent fabrics.

A: Our website uses a company called Paystream to do all of our transactions and this site is 100% secure and trusted. We never keep any credit card details as this is a security risk. If you do not feel comfortable using the credit card Paystream option, then we also accept Paypal, Cheques or Direct deposits. Just click on the direct Deposit button rather than the Credit card button at the payment stage. Just don’t forget to let us know you are putting money into the account.

A: In the interest of keeping your records safe, we keep no record of your credit card details.

A: For all ready made blinds, delivery usually takes no longer than 5 working days, for all made to measure blinds, production takes about 8-10 working days and then please allow a few days shipping. Our factory is based in Melbourne so for customers living in Victoria, the travelling time will be far less so you will get faster delivery than our customers in other states. Sydney Metro area is usually on a next day basis but this is not a guaranteed service so I would suggest leaving 2 days.

A: Yes it is, so long as we have not started making the order, anything is possible! We will endeavour to do our best, however if the job is already cut and in production, it is hard to make your blinds bigger, we are however able to trim most blinds down for a small charge.

A: We try to make payment as easy and safe as possible for you. We obviously have our safe and secure Paystream website to deal with credit card payments, but for those who don’t have a credit card or feel a little wary of using them inline, we also have direct deposit services available. You can also post us a cheque and as soon as the funds are cleared, we will process your order. Cheque and Direct deposit may add a day or 2 onto the delivery time as we have to wait for funds to clear into our account before we can put your blinds into production.  

A: All blinds that arrived damaged must be signed for as damaged and of course we will make sure they get replaced. We may require these blinds to be returned so please keep them safe.

A: All our blinds are delivered via courier and it is always best to use a work address or an address where you will know that someone will be there to sign for the goods. If you are not at home for the delivery, our courier will usually leave a note asking you to call them to arrange a convenient time to redeliver. However we don’t like blinds going back and forth as this adds time to the delivery and increases the risk of damage.

A: Our ready made blinds and ready made curtains are exactly that, ready made and mass produced so that this allows the prices to be kept low. Our made to measure or custom made blinds are also manufactured to a higher standard using better quality components. This is why we have a longer lead time for Made to Measure blinds.

A: At Blinds on the Net™ we hate the “cut down” philosophy. This is basically a Chinese ready made blind that is a very low quality blind that is then chopped down to size. This means you don’t get a consistent blind at the end of the day and the quality level is far less. All our blinds are sold as either ready made blinds or 100% made to order, we strive for a higher quality level and this may mean we are not the cheapest on the market. We do however strive to keep our quality high so your blinds

A: This refers to the way in which the treatment will be hung, either inside or outside the window opening. Inside mounts are mounted inside the window opening that is recessed from the wall. Outside mounts hang outside the window opening either on the wood frame or above and beyond the wood frame. Inside mount is the most common way to hang blinds today and provides a nice, clean look. Outside mounts are great for doors or windows with a very shallow windowsill depth. An outside mount can also be used to make a window appear larger or to hide an unattractive window.

A: Work out which was the fabric is tracking off, Unwind all the fabric off the tube so that you can see the aluminium tube underneath, place a piece of masking tape (or similar) onto the tube at the opposite end to the way the fabric is rolling off. This increases the diameter of the tube slightly at the other end. Thus making the blind wind faster on the tape side and rectifying the fabric running off. Sometimes you need to test this and maybe add a few more pieces of tape, depending on how much out the window level is.

A: Level is of course the best but there is a way to help guide the fabric straight.

A: Unfortunately from time to time accidents can happen and with freight companies, its sometimes unavoidable. We mainly use TNT for our freight as they have proved to be the best of a bad bunch. However, we highly recommend that you take out the option of Freight Insurance at the checkout. This is offered as an optional extra and covers any damage or loss to blinds whilst in transit and is only $1.25/$100 of Value. So if you spend $200, your blinds will be covered for an additional $2.50. Not bad for a little bit of extra piece of mind.

If for any reason your blinds are damaged, please ensure that you sign for them as damaged. Sometimes the boxes may be damaged and the blinds inside are perfect, so we always recommend signing for them as damaged if you have any concerns. We will also need to have some photos of the damaged goods sent to us via email to claim on the insurance. Unfortunately blinds that are not insured and get damaged or lost in transit cannot be returned or replaced.

In the checkout you will find a drop down box saying Yes ($) or No, please select Yes ($) to accept the freight insurance. By selecting the NO option, you have removed any right to claim for damages or loss of your goods with Blinds on the Net™. For this reason we strongly recommend taking out the insurance.
