In May each year, we celebrate Australian Made Week, honouring the craft, dedication, and innovation of our local makers. At dollar curtains + blinds, each of our Curtains, Blinds, and Awnings are designed not just for style, but for long-lasting performance that is built to handle Australia’s unique climate.

From scorching summer sun and intense UV exposure to chilly winter drafts, our locally made window coverings offer unmatched durability, comfort, and peace of mind — delivering on our commitment to value in every dollar.

Designed for the Australian climate.

Australia’s weather can be unpredictable, which is why we offer the country’s largest range of custom made indoor and outdoor window coverings. Our high quality products not only enhance the look of your home or business, but also provide year-round comfort by controlling temperature, light, and privacy, no matter the season.

Servicing areas in Victoria, Canberra, New South Wales, and South Australia, we cater to a wide range of lifestyles — whatever our customers need, we have a solution to match!

Winter Insulation with Thermal Curtains + Blinds.

Cold winters can be very uncomfortable without the right insulation. Our insulated Curtains and Blinds help retain warmth by reducing heat loss through windows. Thermal Curtains regulate your home’s temperature all year, keeping spaces cool in summer and cosy in winter, while helping lower your energy bills. The beauty of our Blockout Curtains is their ability to preserve up to 20% of heat during winter, making your home even more comfortable and energy efficient.

Sun Safety + Protection.

Australia experiences some of the world’s highest UV levels, which can fade and damage furniture, flooring, and soft furnishings. Our Australian Made Curtains and Blinds are crafted from UV-tested fabrics, protecting your interiors while maintaining style and comfort.

Our Zipscreen and Window Awnings are top products that provide effective sun screening, blocking harsh sunlight before it enters your home, as well as reducing glare.

Year-Round Energy Efficiency.

With energy costs rising and temperatures constantly fluctuating, controlling your indoor climate has never been more important. Our locally made solutions, like our Cellular Blinds and Blockout Curtains help retain heat in winter and keep spaces cool in summer, reducing energy use while maintaining comfort. The unique cell structure of our Cellular Blinds can trap air and save up to 46–48% on heating and cooling costs.

For outdoor protection, our custom Window Awnings use premium fabrics that block and reflect up to 95% of solar energy before it reaches your windows, keeping your home cooler while helping you save energy and money.

Durable for Coastal + Regional Conditions.

If you live near the coast or in bushfire-prone areas, your windows need extra protection. Our locally made window coverings are designed and tested to withstand salty air, strong winds, and harsh regional conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance no matter where you live.

Customisation for the Perfect Fit.

No two homes or businesses are the same, which is why we believe in the importance of our completely custom, made-to-measure products. Our Curtains, Blinds, and Awnings ensure precise measurements, maximum insulation, and a polished, elegant finish. Each product is tailored to your space, style, and functional needs.

Supporting Local Jobs + Sustainability.

Choosing Australian Made products isn’t just about quality — it’s about supporting local communities and sustainable manufacturing. Our window coverings are:

Made-to-measure locally for a perfect fit
Inspected for quality before leaving our workrooms
Compliant with Australian manufacturing standards
Installed by skilled professionals
Reducing environmental impact by shortening shipping distances

High quality, locally made products last longer, strengthen the local supply chain, and promote sustainable practices.

Celebrating Australian Craftsmanship.

Australian Made Week is a time to recognise local craft. From our in-store Interior + Exterior Consultants, local workroom team to our professional Installers, our whole team take pride in every product we manufacture and sell. From Curtains to Blinds and Awnings, we ensure every window covering meets the highest standard criteria.

“Making every product requires time, materials, tools, and talent — and a commitment to deliver the highest quality handcrafted product. It’s in our design DNA. Generations of Australians trust us to provide true value — a legacy we’re proud to continue.”
