Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you charge for the consultation?

    No, your consultation is completely free. It’s our way of helping you explore your options with no obligation or pressure.

  • How long will it take for my blinds or curtains to arrive?

    Because every product is made to measure, lead times vary. Most blinds and curtains take 4–6 weeks, while plantation shutters and louvred roofs take around 12 weeks.

  • Do you use contractors for installation?

    No. Our in-house trained team carries out all installations, ensuring consistent quality and reliable service from start to finish.

  • What areas do you service?

    We cover the Mornington Peninsula, Bass Coast and Bayside, and often travel further for returning customers.

  • What warranties do you offer?

    Most products come with a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty. Verosol blinds include a 7-year warranty, reflecting their exceptional quality. We’ll provide full product-specific warranty information once we’ve confirmed the products being installed.

  • Can you help me visualise how the blinds or curtains will look?

    Yes! We can provide a generative AI mock-up to show how your selections might appear in your space. It’s not a replica, but it helps you picture the result.

  • What if I need help later on?

    We’re always here. Whether it’s advice, an adjustment, or a small fix years later, we’re happy to help – it’s part of the Shades of Australia promise.
