Try before you buy

If when you are in-store you are having trouble deciding, you can take a curtain home to see how it looks at home overnight, free of charge.

Recycled Curtains

Our recycled curtains include a wide range of fabrics and brands such as Colefax and Fowler, Gaston Y Daniela, Laura Ashley, Jane Churchill, Osbourne and Little, Laura Ashley and Sanderson.

All our curtains are carefully inspected before we display for re-sale. All curtains are lined with either interlining, blockout or cotton lining.

Benefits of Curtains

Energy Saving

By saving the energy in your home you are also saving the environment.

Here are some facts about energy saving:

• A decrease in temperature by just 1 degree adds 10% to your heating bill.
• Local and State government are now recommending the installation of curtains in homes to achieve the optimal energy rating.
• During autumn and winter, uncovered windows account for 40% of heat loss.
• During spring and summer uncovered windows account for 50% of heat gain.
• Heat loss through glass can be reduced by curtains with lining.
• The higher the lining thickness the greater the insulation.
• Curtains that are closely fitted to your windows are the most effective way to reduce heat loss at night and during winter.
• Curtains also provide privacy.
