Tasmania presents specific challenges for window furnishings that mainland conditions do not. Cold southerly winters driven by Antarctic airflow, bright UV-intense summers, and a housing stock where the majority of homes were built before 1960 means standard off-the-shelf blinds from a hardware chain rarely do the job. The sizing is wrong for heritage window frames, the materials are not built for Tasmania’s temperature swings, and most homeowners end up replacing them within a few years.
We manufacture every blind to order from our production facility in Prospect, NSW, and ship direct to your Tasmanian address. You take measurements at home using our step-by-step measuring guide, choose your blind style, fabric and control option online, and we cut and dispatch your order. Your blinds arrive ready to hang with full DIY fitting instructions included. No tradesperson required for standard installations.
All blinds are manufactured in compliance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 2688 for blind and curtain safety, including child safety cord compliance. Free delivery to every residential and commercial address in Tasmania. Most orders are manufactured and dispatched within 5 to 7 business days, with delivery adding 2 to 3 business days for Tasmanian addresses.
Hobart regularly drops below 5°C overnight, and Launceston and the Central Highlands get colder still. Older single-glazed windows are a primary source of heat loss. Blockout roller blinds create a secondary thermal barrier at the glass, reducing heat loss and cold air infiltration — a low-cost improvement for bedrooms and south-facing living areas.
A large proportion of Tasmanian homes were built before 1960. Double-hung sash windows, unusual proportions and non-standard reveals are common across heritage properties in Hobart, Launceston and beyond. Made-to-measure is not a premium option here — it is a practical requirement. We cut every blind to your exact millimetre dimensions.
Despite its cool reputation, Tasmania experiences extreme UV levels in summer due to ozone thinning over the Southern Ocean. Unprotected windows allow radiation that fades floors, furniture and artworks. UV-rated roller blind fabrics filter incoming UV effectively while keeping rooms feeling bright and open.
Cold temperatures and older single-pane windows create persistent condensation in bathrooms, kitchens and laundries — ideal conditions for mould. PVC venetian blinds are the right choice for wet areas. The non-porous surface resists moisture and mould, wipes clean easily, and meets standard Tasmanian rental property maintenance requirements.
Use our step-by-step measuring guide. It covers what to measure, where to measure in the recess or on the face of the frame, and how to record your width and drop dimensions correctly for both inside mount (recess fit) and outside mount (face fit) installations. Measure each window individually, as older Tasmanian homes frequently have dimensional variation between windows in the same room.

Blockout roller blinds provide the strongest thermal performance of the blind types we manufacture. The dense woven fabric creates a secondary barrier at the window surface that reduces radiant heat loss and limits cold air infiltration from the glass surface on sub-zero Tasmanian nights. For homes with single-glazed aluminium-framed windows, which are common in pre-1980 Tasmanian construction, a correctly fitted blockout roller blind can meaningfully reduce window heat loss and lower overnight heating demand.
Basswood and cedar venetian blinds also provide a degree of thermal buffering due to the natural insulating properties of the timber slats, though less so than a blockout roller. PVC venetian blinds provide minimal thermal benefit but are the right choice for wet areas regardless of thermal performance.
If energy efficiency is your primary consideration, prioritise blockout roller blinds for bedrooms and south-facing living areas first. If you are undertaking broader home energy improvements and want to understand how window treatments interact with insulation ratings under the NatHERS framework, a licensed energy assessor can provide property-specific advice.
Yes, and non-standard window sizes are one of the primary reasons Tasmanian homeowners choose made-to-measure over off-the-shelf options. Tasmania has one of the oldest residential housing stocks in Australia, and pre-1960 homes consistently feature window openings that fall outside modern standardised sizing. Double-hung sash windows, casement windows with unusual width-to-drop ratios, heritage timber reveals, and windows set into thick sandstone or brick walls all create measurement scenarios that standard blinds cannot accommodate.
We cut every blind to the exact millimetre dimensions you supply. Our manufacturing process handles non-standard proportions, unusually narrow or wide openings, and heritage window configurations within our standard production run. There is no additional charge for custom dimensions and no minimum or maximum size restrictions beyond the physical limits of our cutting equipment, which we can advise you on if your window dimensions are at an extreme.
Use our measuring guide to take your dimensions. If you are unsure whether to measure for an inside mount (within the window recess) or outside mount (on the face of the surrounding wall or architrave), the guide covers both methods. For heritage windows or unusual configurations, email us a photo and your measurements at sales@blindsdeal.com.au and we will confirm before you order.
Blinds Deal does not offer an in-home installation service in Tasmania. Our blinds are designed for standard DIY installation and arrive with printed fitting instructions covering bracket placement, headrail installation and chain or cord routing for each blind type. The vast majority of our customers complete their own installation without difficulty.
A standard single window installation typically takes 10 to 15 minutes once you have a drill, a spirit level and the correct wall anchor for your wall type. Tasmanian homes with sandstone, double-brick or heritage plaster walls may require specific masonry drill bits and wall plugs suited to those materials. If your walls are heritage sandstone or render over brick, use a hammer drill with masonry bits and opt for Fischer or equivalent heavy-duty wall anchors rather than standard plastic plugs.
If you encounter any difficulty at any stage of installation, contact us at sales@blindsdeal.com.au and we will assist you. We can also advise on bracket placement for unusual window reveal depths or heritage architrave profiles.
Yes. Supplying blinds for Tasmanian rental properties, holiday homes and short-term rental properties is one of our core use cases. Tasmania has a strong and growing short-term accommodation market, with significant concentrations of Airbnb and holiday rental properties in Hobart’s inner suburbs, the Huon Valley, the East Coast, Freycinet, and the Tamar Valley wine region.
We regularly supply landlords, property managers, strata managers and holiday home operators across the state. PVC venetian blinds are the most popular choice for rental properties due to their moisture resistance, durability and ease of cleaning between tenancies. Blockout roller blinds are a common choice for bedroom windows in holiday accommodation where guest sleep quality is a priority.
All our blinds comply with AS/NZS 2688 child safety requirements, which is relevant for rental properties under the Residential Tenancy Act Tasmania and properties listed on platforms with child safety disclosure requirements. For orders covering multiple properties or a large number of windows, contact us at sales@blindsdeal.com.au for a bulk quote and consolidated delivery options.
Yes. Blinds Deal supplies custom made-to-measure window blinds for commercial properties in Tasmania including offices, retail tenancies, accommodation facilities, medical and allied health premises, educational facilities, hospitality venues and government buildings. Our commercial customers typically order roller blinds or vertical blinds for large open-plan office windows and meeting rooms, and PVC venetian blinds for commercial wet areas including kitchens, bathrooms and staff amenity rooms.
All blinds are manufactured to AS/NZS 2688 standards, which is relevant for commercial properties with public access obligations and childcare or early education settings with mandatory child safety compliance requirements.
We do not offer a commercial installation service. Installation for commercial properties would need to be arranged with a local Tasmanian handyperson, building maintenance contractor or commercial fitout company. For large commercial orders covering multiple windows or an entire premises, contact us at sales@blindsdeal.com.au to discuss your window schedule, product selection and lead time requirements. We can provide itemised quotes for commercial projects.
