Swags and Tails



Our amazingly talented team of sewers are capable of making up virtually any window dressing you would like. We are currently fitting out a Surfers Paradise nightclub which has been decadently fitted out in lavish swags and tails and tassle tie backs. Photos will be coming soon. But it reminded me to post some old photos of a few of our favourite swag and tail rooms that we have managed to remember to get photos of.




So warm and friendly and inviting.

Sunscreen Roller Blinds - Natural Light, Reduced Heat and Glare

Another one of our best sellers is our sunscreen roller blinds. We have these on display extensively at our showroom located at 4/40 Township Drive West Burleigh (click on this link to view our address on google maps).



They aren't just on display to promote them - it's because they are just so practical! They keep our office cool even on the hottest days, insulate the room which keeps our heating and cooling bills down, take away the glare on the office computers and allow us to feel less cooped up and we can take in the view outside!

Dark coloured sunscreens tend to give a better view outside compared to light coloured sunscreen roller blinds. A variety of colours are available to match your decor. This client has used warm browns and beiges throughout




Dark coloured sunscreens give the clearest view outside. This client hasn't finished their landscaping but it will be a fantastic view once complete!


The main question we get asked is - can you see inside when standing outside? The answer to that is yes. At night, if you have a light on inside the house, people standing outside will be able to see in. During the day, the results can vary but generally you get a high degree of privacy during the day. So in a nutshell, sunscreen roller blinds allow the natural light in, allow a great view outside, reduce the heat and glare, protect your carpet and furniture and keep your heating and cooling bills down. They are perfect for anywhere you want to enjoy a view outside such as pool or patio areas but where night time privacy isn't an issue. If privacy is a concern you can always add another block out roller and make it into a double roller system where you simply pull down a separate block out roller over the top at night time.
