Curtains & Blinds Installation in Ang Mo Kio New Town

In Ang Mo Kio New Town you can buy supply-and-install from blind retailers (they measure, make and fit — with a fit guarantee) or hire a handyman to fit ready-made products. For made-to-measure, the retailer route shifts measurement risk to them, which is worth a lot: mis-measured made-to-measure blinds are unreturnable.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Day-and-night curtains for a typical HDB living room land S$300-800 supplied and installed; whole-flat packages S$1,000-3,000 depending on fabric. Labour-only installation, where offered, runs S$20-50 per window.
