Curtains & Blinds Installation in Tuen Mun

Plantation shutters are hinged interior panels with tiltable louvres, made to measure per window. They are the premium option — several times the price of quality blinds — but last decades, add resale appeal, and handle wet rooms well in PVC versions. Fitting is always included by the supplier.

For recess fits: width and drop at three points each, using the smallest; note obstructions like handles and tiles. For face fits: add overlap each side and above. Millimetre precision matters for made-to-measure — which is exactly why supply-and-install retailers include measuring in the price.

For hard-to-reach windows, large arrays, and anyone standardizing on smart-home control, yes — battery motors have made retrofit easy with no wiring. The premium per blind is real, so many homes motorize the living areas and keep manual controls in bedrooms. Check app/hub compatibility before buying.

A straightforward window takes 20-40 minutes; a whole home of 8-12 windows is usually a half-day to a day. Add time for masonry drilling, tall or awkward access, and motorized blinds that need pairing and charging.

Tracks and poles need proper fixings: into studs or with appropriate anchors in masonry, and heavy blackout or velvet curtains multiply the load. Plasterboard alone won't hold a loaded pole — pull-outs are the most common curtain-fitting failure. Concrete lintels above windows need a hammer drill.

Looped cords and chains strangle toddlers, and most countries now regulate them: new blinds must be cordless, have inaccessible cords, or ship with tensioners and cleats that must actually be installed. If you have young children, choose cordless or motorized — and retrofit tensioners on existing corded blinds today.

Inside (recess) mounts look neatest and suit deep windows; outside (face) mounts block more light around the edges and hide shallow or uneven recesses. Light-blocking priorities decide: for bedrooms, outside-mounted blackout blinds or blinds with side channels beat recess fits.

A living-room curtain set typically lands HK$2,000-6,000 supplied and installed; whole-flat packages HK$6,000-20,000 depending on fabric and motorization. Roller blinds run HK$800-2,500 per window installed.
