Blinds and Curtains Installation FAQs
Should blinds be mounted inside or outside the window frame?
Inside mounts can look neat and suit some windows, while outside mounts can give better light
blocking and cover uneven frames. Your installer can show examples and suggest what works best
for each room and window type in your home.
What window furnishings suit bedrooms best?
Many people choose block out blinds, layered curtains or a mix of sheer and block out options in
bedrooms. It depends on street lighting, shift work and how dark you like rooms. Mention your
preferences so tradies can recommend suitable options when quoting.
Can old holes and marks be covered?
New tracks and brackets can sometimes hide old fixing points, but not always. Ask tradies to note
whether patching and painting are included or if you should have a painter handle this after
installation is complete.
Are there safety rules for blind and curtain cords?
Yes. In Australia there are requirements around securing cords and chains to reduce risks for
children. Installers should fit cord guides or tensioners as needed and show you how to keep
cords and loops out of reach of kids.
