Browse Forums Windows & Doors Re: Temporary Window Coverings 21Aug 12, 2008 9:05 am We have just been through this & managed with sheets ok until our blinds were ready. I didn't want to pre-order the blinds as I needed to see the house finished first to be sure about the colours.
Now as for sticking the blinds up - we have been using the 3M adhesives for putting up pictures & hooks around the house. Now in each packet of the 3M there are extra's bits of tape so I just cut these in half & used 4 halves to stick each sheet up. They held really well & once we didn't need the sheets anymore the tape comes away beautifully leaving no trace at all. If anyone is looking for a good blind company in Melb. West we used MEM Blinds (after a recommendation from Ray). They were great, very professional, blinds were ready within the week & they were the cheapest by quite a bit. Re: Temporary Window Coverings 22Aug 13, 2008 8:38 am Thanks Trina for the advice on the 3M products was there one in particular you used???
Also on the Redishade front i went into Bunnings Fountain Gate yesterday and they don't stock them and the girl I spoke to said she had been working at Frankston and they didn't have them either. I think it is just a matter of luck with them. I think I might try and contact Redushade themselves and see if they can advise further. I will post what I find out on this thread ASAP Building with Porter Davis since October 2007 - what a nightmare!!! Re: Temporary Window Coverings 23Aug 14, 2008 4:17 pm I got this reply from them for NSW
"Thank you for your interest in our product. You will be able to purchase Redishade from three select NSW Bunnings stores They are Wollongong, Villawood and Mascot Other locations will be set up in the next eight to twelve weeks."

I don't think at this time of the year I could manage getting quotes etc for blinds / curtains... redi-shade sounds great. Re: Temporary Window Coverings 35Oct 24, 2008 9:18 am We've had our redi blinds up for 2 months now, they don't keep the light out as such but as a temporary measure I think they're great, I love the look on peoples faces when they come round and I tell them the blinds are made of paper
Sadly though our new neighbours went to the local Bunnings to buy some and were told that they had just been a promotion and they weren't stocking them anymore, good that you can order them over the phone though. Re: Temporary Window Coverings 38Nov 21, 2008 6:54 pm This thread has been invaluable! We ordered all our window coverings today (mostly timber venetians), but thanks to our builder's stuffing around and delaying in providing us with dates for handover, we might miss the cut-off for getting them in before Christmas, and we plan to move on the 12th.
So Monday, I'll be calling the Redi Shade people. I swore 22 years ago, when we moved into our first home, that I would NOT live with sheets at the windows - and that sentiment hasn't changed. What a brilliant idea. Re: Temporary Window Coverings 40Dec 03, 2008 9:42 pm So, after scouring all the local Bunnings stores with no luck, I rang the distributer last week and ordered enough Redi Shade blinds for just about the entire house. $153 for the lot! Our permanent blinds should be in by Feb, but meanwhile we won't need sheets....
Then today I was in Bunnings, walked around a corner and there was a big box of the things, right in the middle of an aisle. Seems they have a special going on.... Anyway, the price was $5.95 for the shorter ones and I think it was $7.95 for the longer ones. Just in case anyone's looking for them. Mine should be here tomorrow or Friday.
