IMPORTED

** see below – 35-50 working days for imported HONEYCOMB, FAUX WOOD, ALUMINIUM and PHOENIXWOOD blinds

** see below – 50-60 working days for imported SHUTTERS

** IMPORTED Chinese New Year.  The factory closes 25 January and re-opens on the 2 February (factory cut-off times are around 10-14 days prior to this, depending on the product type).  This unfortunately means that orders placed after the 13th of January will take longer to get here than usual as it takes the factory a while to catch up on manufacturing after the 1-week annual closure.  Generally, there is 3-4 weeks added to manufacturing times when they return to work.  Shipping is also disrupted as this holiday affects the entire country and everyone scrambles to get containers out in a hurry when everything is back up and running.  We expect shipping to take 1-3 weeks longer than usual in the 6 weeks following CNY.

A Complete Guide to Our Blinds, Replacement Parts, and Accessories

Selecting the right blinds for your home’s interior can be tricky, with so many great designs to choose from. In this article, we break down some of our blinds, replacement parts, and accessories to familiarise you with the options available. Make choosing blinds for your windows a breeze by growing your understanding of blind parts and how to use them.

Roller Blinds

Bring your home’s interior to life with gorgeous roller blinds from our collection. Chic yet classic in design, our extensive range of roller blinds will fit any home’s aesthetic. The wide range of colours, textures, and patterns available means we have options to suit no matter your preference. You can choose a blind that stands out or a muted colour to blend in with the background. 

Additionally, the advantages of this design include the innovative roller mechanism, which provides smooth control and adjustability. Combine with remote control for ultimate convenience. 

Blackout Roller Blinds

Sunlight and streetlights are no match for blackout roller blinds, providing complete darkness in seconds. Their sleek design will complement modern homes or offices nicely. Choose from a range of fabric thicknesses and colours to find an option suitable for you.

Sunscreen Roller Blinds

If your home has a lot of natural sunlight streaming through the windows, you can count yourself lucky. However, excessive exposure to sunlight can damage your furnishings.   

Sunscreen blinds allow the light to enter our homes while reducing the sun’s harshness and preventing excessive heat accumulation. These blinds keep your home and living area pleasantly comfortable.

Combo Roller Blinds

Roller blinds can be installed as a ‘combo blind’ for maximum benefits and precise control. Combo blinds offer ultimate functionality as you get the benefits of both sunscreen and blackout blinds. 

Venetian Blinds

Venetian blinds are a classic and sophisticated option that looks beautiful in all contemporary homes. In use for centuries, Venetian blinds have become incredibly common in all types of settings, including modern offices. The Norman Venetian blind range is a favourite amongst homeonwers. Venetian blinds are available in different styles, from faux wood to durable aluminium.  

Aluminium Venetian Blinds

Aluminium Venetian blinds are an affordable, classic, and functional window covering. Offering precise control over the light entering a room, plus great privacy, they are low-cost and easily installed.

Wooden Venetian Blinds

Add timeless beauty to your home with the look of natural timber. Venetian blinds are sleek and modern, bringing a subtle, stylish look into your space. They are a versatile blind option, available in a range of slat sizes and colours to suit your needs.

Faux-Wood Venetian Blinds

Faux-wood options are made with composite plastic and mimic the look of natural wood, making them resistant to water. They are commonly used in rooms with high humidity or wet areas, like the bathroom or laundry room. Faux-wood Venetian blinds are also easy to clean, making them a practical choice for homeowners.   

Shutters

Shutters offer incredible functionality. They’re a great option for those looking for low-maintenance window covers. Shutters feature horizontal blades that open and close for excellent light control and privacy. Classic in design, shutters will suit any room in the home, especially sunrooms.

Our shutters are beautifully crafted and coated in a smooth, painted finish. For rooms with higher moisture levels, we have shutters made from Polymer to keep them strong and beautiful for years.

Honeycomb Blinds

Unique and functional, honeycomb blinds offer fantastic insulation for your home—up to three times more than a standard curtain. With both corded and cordless (SmartRise) options, you can pick the ideal design that works for the space. The ribbed build provides a subtle but attractive striped design, perfect for bedrooms or family rooms.

 

Known as Thermacell, honeycomb blinds are one of the most heat-efficient options available on the market. The fabric allows for effective blackout properties, making them a multifunctional choice for your home.

Vertical Blinds

Large windows and ranch sliders are one of the more difficult places to fit blinds or curtains. With such a large area, there’s more pressure in choosing your product. Vertical blinds are ideal for larger window spaces and are one of the lowest-maintenance choices. The vertical design prevents dust from building up and keeps your blinds looking sleek.

 

Rotation adjustment means that there is complete freedom when it comes to light and privacy. You can light up the entire room with the pull of a string or draw the blades together to open up the window completely. Vertical blinds are a clean and functional choice for big, high, or sloping windows. They are an excellent option for both residential homes and commercial offices.

No matter what blind material or mechanism you have, it won’t work without the right parts. NZ Blinds has blind parts and accessories to keep your blinds in their best condition.
