Want to make sure that the recent storms/floods we had didn't do any damage. I'm going to try to measure the windows from the outside, since apparently there's no measurements on my plans.. XD makes getting quotes on blinds a little hard. How have other people gone with getting quotes on curtains, blinds and shutters? I'm finding it impossible, and may have to wait until the house is handed over... but that will delay my moving in, since the master does face the street. There should be a page in your structural plan document that lists all the window measurements..if the arcs are in, you can ask your builder to let the curtains people in to take measurements.. (a lot of places do free measure and quote) Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Reflections 418Jan 02, 2017 8:50 am I had blinds included in my contract but i will be getting sheer curtains for all rooms (eventually) for added privacy. I'll be buying rods with spring-loaded ends from spotlight that will sit inside the window recesses to hang the curtains on. There are temporary paper blinds that you buy which have tape at one end that will stick to window frame (the metal bit) . They are a concertina folded length of paper. You can have them as long or as short as you want by using the clips that come with them. I used them in my previous place and they worked a treat. Looked quite nice too - hence they stayed up for about 4 years. The tape came off the frames easily too without leaving any sticky residue. I got mine from bunnings but not sure they still sell them. I've heard Ikea sell them though. Can't remember how much they were but i think it was about $5-6 each one.

I'm not sure why getting quotes is so hard!

I'm not sure why getting quotes is so hard! That's weird.. I got 4 quotes just with the rough measurements... I guess you are in Melbourne...try Victory blinds or Wynston blinds for quote and they do have good collection of blinds and curtains... I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15431 I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this?
