We are happy to help you selecting the right sort of shutters, blind and curtains for your house or office, feel free to contact us for more details. This section is to provide information on frequently asked questions for shutters, blind and curtains.
Do I need to measure my windows?
Affordable Shutters & Blinds provides a measuring and quoting service. However, if you’re a bit of a handyman, feel free to send us the measurements, and we can provide a quote based on them.
Are my blinds or curtains going to fade?
It’s important to acknowledge that the abundant sunshine in Western Australia can present fading challenges over time. Nevertheless, our commitment to quality shines through, and we offer block-out coatings in some of our ranges that provide added protection against fading. We take pride in our high-quality products and can provide guidance on how to ensure lasting performance and durability, even in the harsh Australian climate.
What are the benefits of blinds, shutters and curtains?
Blinds, shutters and curtains not only enhance the stylish appearance of your home, but they also help maintain a comfortable temperature – keeping your house warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Additionally, they can contribute to reducing your heating and air conditioning costs.

Do you do repairs?
No, we do not offer repair services unless they are covered under Affordable Shutters and Blinds for products we have sold and installed.
Will blinds and shutters keep my house warm in winter and cool in summer?
Yes, blinds and shutters are effective at regulating indoor temperature, aiding in keeping your home warm during winter and cool during summer. Consequently, they contribute to reducing your heating and cooling costs.
Should I coordinate my blinds with my walls and floor?
Selecting the appropriate colour, texture and product can significantly impact the overall appearance of your room. For instance, opting for blinds that match your walls can create a sense of spaciousness, while matching them with your floor might result in the room appearing smaller than it actually is. Let our experienced consultants help make your decision the right one.
What payment options do you offer?
We accept Credit Cards, Direct Bank Deposit, ZipPay, ZipMoney, Afterpay and Cash.
How much do plantation shutters cost in Perth?
It depends on the material and your window sizes, which is why we quote after a free measure. Polyresin and PVC are the sharpest priced; timber sits a little higher. Your quote is fixed, so there are no surprises on install day.
Which material is best for bathrooms and kitchens?
Polyresin or PVC. Both are waterproof, won’t warp in steam and wipe clean. We’ll show you both at your free measure so you can compare in your own light.
Do you install, or just supply?
Both. Our own installers fit everything we sell, and we also offer DIY supply for confident renovators. Either way, everything is made to your measurements.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes — offices, retail, developments and body corporates across Perth. Tell us about your project and we’ll quote it properly.
