Manufacturing Times

Current estimated manufacturing times:

NEW ZEALAND MANUFACTURE

5 working days for New Zealand manufactured 5 DAY ROLLER, 5 DAY FAUX WOOD VENETIAN and 5 DAY HONEYCOMB blinds

7-8 working days for New Zealand manufactured ROLLER & FAUXWOOD venetians

15 working days for New Zealand manufactured VERTICAL & ALUMINIUM venetians

Please note: working days exclude weekends, public holidays and factory closure periods such as Christmas 2024/25 factory closures are 19 December until 6 January. The good news is that by ordering over the holiday period we will be processing orders and you will secure your place in the production schedule upon the factory’s return.

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.

The Best Roller Blinds for Children’s Rooms

Choosing roller blinds for a child’s bedroom can be a challenge for any parent. You want to provide your children with only the best products, and you want to know they’ll last for a long time. If you’re in the process of redecorating your child’s bedroom and need some curtain-inspiration, read our top 3 roller blind recommendations below.

Thermal Blinds

As the temperature drops and the evenings grow frosty, keeping your children warm and cosy becomes your priority. So, what are the best ways to do this? A great place to start is to make sure their bedroom is a place of warmth and comfort. Investing in thermal roller blinds for their room is an excellent, cost-effective way to ensure that your children get the best sleep every night.
Thermal blinds keep out the cold while simultaneously trapping heat inside your home. Heating bills can add up during the winter. That’s why supplementing your home’s insulation with thermal blinds is a great way to keep your family warm and save on heating in the long run.

Blackout Blinds

If you live in a busy neighbourhood, the constant stream of streetlights and headlights through your windows in the evenings can really affect your children’s sleeping habits. Sleep is especially important for children. Well-rested children are better able to sustain concentration throughout the day. Adequate, regular sleep also boosts immunity—particularly important in the winter—and aids mental development. Excess light during night hours can disrupt our body’s internal “sleep clock” and interfere both with the quality and quantity of sleep our children get.
Blackout roller blinds are made specifically for this purpose. They keep excess light out and let the mind and body rest peacefully in the dark. As an added benefit, blackout blinds can also be combined with thermal blind designs for maximum efficiency, making them perfect for the colder months!

Printed Roller Blinds

If you are looking for creative ways to add colour, personality, and joy to your child’s bedroom, printed roller blinds could be the perfect solution! They provide the same light filtering and privacy benefits of regular roller blinds with the added flair of custom-printed imagery. Read through a few ideas below for inspiration!

Great Print Ideas for a Child’s Bedroom

1. Starry night sky – Let your children drift into a peaceful slumber and the sweetest dreams with a starry sky printed roller blind.
2. A beautiful landscape – Add space to a small room while inspiring creativity and a sense of adventure with a spectacular landscape print.
3. A Map of the world – With a map printed across their blinds, children can start gaining an interest in geography and cultures around the world.
4. Their favourite things – If you want to encourage their own personality and style to grow, print their favourite animals, flowers, rainbows, cartoon characters, or even foods and let them enjoy a creative space made specifically for them.
