Are blinds included in your new home package?

Are you in the early stages of building your new home? Or perhaps your interest has been piqued by the current home building incentives and you’re just starting to think about building your dream home. Whatever your situation may be, if you’ve got a fresh build on the brain, you’ve no doubt got many features and details to decide on with your builder, but what about your window coverings?

Depending on the product, when it comes to Blinds, Security Screens and Shutters for your new home, the earlier you can get the ball rolling, the better. So to make planning your brand new home easier, we’ve put together a little article to help you make sure your windows are covered… I mean, it’s nice to get to know your new neighbours, but they might get to know you quite intimately if you don’t have your blinds sorted before handover!

First thing’s first; are blinds and window furnishings included in your house package?

Check your building contract to see which inclusions you’ve opted for. We’ve found that, for the most part, it’s up to the homeowner to source their own window furnishings, and that most basic inclusions packages do not include blinds, however, may include fly screens. If fly screens are included, it might be a good idea to think about if security is a priority. If so, this is a good time to speak to your builder about upgrading your fly screens to security screens.
