Curtains & Blinds Installation in Singapore

Installers charge per window or per hour, with the product itself the bigger cost. Simple roller and venetian fits are quick jobs; bay windows, tall stairwell windows, motorized blinds and plantation shutters cost more to fit. Supply-and-install packages from blind companies usually beat separate labour on price.

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.

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.

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.

In Singapore 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.

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.
