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.

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.

Suitable Types of Blinds for Doors

Blinds aren’t only an effective window treatment solution; they are also suitable for doors. Large glass doors leading to the patio or backyard will benefit from a blind covering, providing much-needed light control and privacy. However, with the frequent usage and high traffic moving from space to space, you’ll require blinds in NZ that can both elevate the look of your door and bring high functionality. We discuss suitable types of blinds for doors below.

 

Vertical Blinds

Sleek and practical, vertical blinds are the go-to blind choice for glass sliding and bi-fold doors. They’re easily adjustable according to your preferences, swaying and stacking neatly to the side or drawn out from the middle. With a complete 180-degree rotation of the blades, enjoy control over light and privacy according to your needs. Vertical blinds are elegant and modern, complementing sliding doors, French doors, and patio doors. Their length and direction will add height and spacious flair to any room.

 

Roller Blinds

Choose from a range of mount types for a custom roller blind solution. Our highly versatile roller blinds can be installed within each frame of a bi-fold door for unobstructed door operation. Enjoy full light control over each blind, which can be opened and closed individually to protect from the sun’s glare depending on the time of day.

 

Sunscreen roller blinds work well for front or patio doors to let in a stream of filtered light during the day, while blackout roller blinds are well suited to bedrooms for peaceful sleep free from light interruption. This type of blind will work great with bifold, sliding, and front and patio doors. 

 

 Honeycomb Blinds

Also known as Thermacell, honeycomb blinds feature a unique structure renowned for their insulation properties and will help with maintaining temperatures in all seasons. These cellular blinds come in different colours and fabrics and will suit any wide expansive door where heat is easily lost. Choose between the cost-effective corded or cordless SmartRise (great for young children and pets) variations for an easy-to-operate blind solution. These types of blinds are well suited for French, sliding, bifold, and patio doors.

 

Plantation Shutters

Plantation shutters look amazing when paired with French doors. A timeless and classic fitted treatment solution, plantation shutters can be placed along the width of each door window instead of the entire door frame, creating a cohesive and elegant look. Choose from a range of materials and finishes for an attractive custom shutter solution that is low maintenance, easy to clean, and durable. With simple and clean horizontal lines, enjoy a stylish door-covering solution with complete control over how much sunshine comes in.
