I'm wondering whether it is better to install the curtain from ceiling height or follow the window height? In your 1st photo, it's window height while the 2nd photo is ceiling height.

There's a few factor that determine whether to go for Full height or window height curtain installation.

1.Air cond mounting on top of windows
For instance in the 1st photo, (project from Setia Ecohill Semenyih) The air cond piping was located right on top of the window making full height curtain impossible.
Owner hv no choice but to go for window height.

2.Fabric width
In some case, Full Height curtains could result in more fabric being used to produce a curtain depending on big is your window, SOme fabric comes in 125' inch width.
If your ceiling is extremely high, chances if you either spend more on the fabric or go with a window height due to fabric width limitations. .

Can you PM your pricing for Venetian curtain, wood material.

Pm'ed

1 of the recent question i got from PM is :
Which should i choose?? Blackout and Dimout curtain?

BLACKOUT curtains are fabrics that block out 100% of lights emitting through the fabric. Blackout curtains are typically found in Hotel, Cinema and convention centre. Blackout curtains are typically heavier and denser and to certain extent, help reduce the echo inside a room. It is also very popular among the current home owners as it blockout significant amount of heat from sun that radiates through the window, trapping the heat between the window and curtain.

Dimout curtains on the other hand are fabrics that is not classified as blackout and is one that will allow a certain amount of light through. It ranges from being very sheer to something that blocks 80% of the light. Dimout fabrics helps diffuse light from the sun and giving a warm and vibrant settings to the house. However, it is not very effective in heat insulation.

There's not 1 size fits all solution in this case. It really depends on the application and the effect home owners wants to achieve on the unit. It is worth to note that majority of my clients are more inclined towards blackout curtain as its more practical (heat insulation) compared to dimout curtain. .


cheers,
BlindMan. .

According to some home owners, they complained blackout curtain cannot be wet wash, it can only be dry wash. Hotels do not wash the curtain, they just throw away and change new ones every year or so.

If the fabric contain less than 20% cotton then it's safe for wet wash. Most blackout curtain are made of polyester. Wet wash is ok for polyester and will not shrink your fabric.

do you also supply+ install curtain railings?

Yes We do.

I already made a curtain with normal, cheap hook-design. Can you change it to more durable design as I found that it easily broken from the rail with minimal force.

I dont mind changing the railing as well.

Recently I received many inquiry whether to go for Curtains or BLinds for their homes.

As a general guideline, curtains are commonly installed in Living and Master bedroom as it give a soft touch to the area. Blinds such as Sunscreen/blackout blinds are commonly found in Study room and kitchen area.

In recent years, i see there's growing demand of blinds such as zebra and triple shade blinds ahead of curtains. Users tend to opt for ease of maintenance over aesthetic value of curtains. Design of blinds is also getting more versatile and diverse making it more competitive against curtains.


If you hv difficulty in choosing between both, here's some things you should consider before going for your purchase. .

1. Durability.
Blinds are generally more durable than curtains
2 Maintenance
Blinds are easy to maintained vs curtains
3. Aesthetic value
Curtain trumps blinds in the aspect. Curtains designs are better than blinds,though there's more blinds design coming out in recent years.
4. Affordability
BLinds are slight cheaper than curtain. Then again, it depends on what blinds materials you choose too! it can be expensive too. .
5. Place of application
If it's a cooking area, it's best to go for a roller blinds.


Cheers,
blindman.

With windows getting bigger and higher (up to 17-20ft in some cases) for new development, what' the best window dressing solution with the least maintenance?


Here's a case where a client of mine in Arte West Subang has a 18ft high window overlooking the highway. HE wanted a simple window solution to block out the heat and cover up the window with easy maintenance. We helped him to tint the window and install a roller blinds over a long curtain.

Blinds or curtain....what are the rules within the same floor area? Does it look awkward if we mix? For example on the ground floor living room windows, we used blind and then move to dining area sliding door we use curtain and next to the sliding door there's a window and we use blind. Or within a bedroom, one window with blinds and another window of the same bedroom with curtains.

Can u PM again? I didn't receive any

Good question.
It's okay to use blinds in the living room and curtains in dining area sliding door. Perhaps for the window beside sliding door, we would suggest client to use curtain to ensure consistency.
FOr bedroom, we suggest to stick with either blinds or curtain alone unless the room is really huge that there's a different section within the room itself ( for instance some ppl hv huge walk in wadrobe/study area inside the master bed room)


Point is, there's no fixed guidelines here, it all depends on clients preference and demand of clients (factors like ease of cleaning+ maintenance and etc)



Cheers,
BLindman.

Pm you again Sir. .

looking for blinds for my small room. What kind of blinds is suitable and what is the price i'm looking at.

There's a variety options available namely, I'll suggest a few which i think suits your small room the best.

1. Sunscreen blinds
Practical and functional. Allows natural lights diffusing into your room.
Cons- If you're changng in the room ,best to go for blackout or zebra blinds

2. Blackout blinds
AS the name suggest, block out any sunlights coming into your room.


3. Zebra blinds
Versatile and stylish, allows you to control the level of lights coming into your room. you can either close it entirely or allow ilights to come into your room.

Hi, can pm your contact? thanks.

Pm'ed

Hello, do you handle motorized blinds and curtains?

pmed you. pls check

Yes we do. feel free to pm me the size of your window that needed motorized system.

Replied.

According to this guide, the kind of blinds you'll need would greatly depend on a number of things.

1. The room type (living room, library, etc.)
2. The room's function (so you'll know if you need blackout blinds, etc.)
3. Style (what's the most appropriate style. ex: Roman or Venetian)
4. Material (ex. for bathrooms, water-resistant materials are necessary)
5. Energy saving properties.

So I think you need to identify the main purpose of your room first. Do you need it to be light and airy or do you want it dark and private? And then you take in the other things into consideration. Just my two cents, hope it helps.

Hi can you provide me a quotation for curtains include installation and curtain track material. Thank you.

hi there,

PM-ed you a month back but did not get a response from your side. I'm currently renovating my new house and would like to seek your professional help and get a quotation from you. Would like to install curtains and blinds throughout the whole house.

Thanks!

I'm interested in the fabric-like semi transparent sunscreen. The ones usually use in offices. How much is it per sqft?

Do you have vertical blinds?

My apologies. . let me recheck my inbox.

Pm

yes I do. Vertical blinds are kinda obsolete these days as there's a lot of complains on the mechanism with high rate of failure. Most ppl opt for roller blinds instead and the mechanism is much durable and simple compared to vertical blinds.

I agree on the mechanism failure but ain't that the same to horizontal one? my only concern is horizontal tend to collect more dust then the vertical one.

Hi Blindman, already PM u.

Do let me know if u not received

Thanks.

For your purpose of understanding, the mechanism of roller blinds is more simple and robust compared to vertical blinds. there's only 1 roller and 1 strap used to adjust the roller.

I figure the only part where roller blinds collect dust is the blinds pelmet, not much on the blinds itself.


*ps, Our roller blinds comes with 3 years warranty due to manufacturing defects.

Receive with thanks.

Thanks for your response,

I have already sent you the excel format as well.

Are you able to advise what curtain colors and fabric suit my living room below and may i know how much it will cost me including the sheer 3m (w) x 2.6m (l)
