Pricing and Quotes
Lakeview Blinds offer a free measure and quote.
Everything we make is made to measure to the millimetre so it is difficult to give you a 'square metre rate' or 'piece rate'.
The main determinants of price are fabric and textile finishes and these are grouped from lowest to highest, so a 'group 1' material will be the cheapest.
Our design consultant can give you an exact costing in your home or you can get an approximation at our showroom.
Due to company policy we are not allowed to give the pricing over the phone, but you can come into our Showroom or email us with your measurements and we can obtain a price for you. Or you can request a free measure and quote.
There is no such thing. Windows come in a huge range of sizes. We must have accurate measurements to start with.
We require 30% deposit to initiate an order. The balance is due three days prior to installation. We accept all major credit cards as well as bank cheque, money order and cash.
We can also take your order over the phone with your credit card or you can mail in your payment. If there are any alterations to the order these will need to be clarified prior to placing the order as it may affect the price.
Yes we do require a 30% deposit.
Three days prior to installation date. We will call you to organise payment and finalise your installation.
How long does it take?
Due to the current climate unfortunately our Christmas cut off dates will be earlier than previous years. In order for us to Guarantee you will receive the products before Christmas you will need to have paid your deposit before the selected products cut-off date.
Each product has a different lead-time however we try and coordinate all products in to one convenient delivery.
In some situations, it may be desirable for you to split the order to obtain some products ahead of others. Your sales agent or showroom consultant will be able to advise you of the lead-times for each product.
Remember to have any existing window coverings down prior to the installation of your new blinds (unless alternative arrangements have been made).
Every Product has a different installation time – please be patient with our installers. We do ask you to be home.

We can only look at repairing blinds which are ours. That is, we do not repair blinds made or sold by any other company. Also, we do not repair blinds more than 7 years old.
Even in these cases, it is often a more cost-effective option to get new blinds. You may bring the blinds into your nearest showroom, or we can come out to visit you.
Our warranties do vary depending on the product, please see our T and C's and our product brochures for more information.
You can buy a Shutter Pin to replace yourself, we have them here at our Warners Bay Showroom and is an easy fix.
No, Awnings are for Sun and Heat Purposes only.
Every Vertical manufacturer is different, if the Vertical is Lakeview’s and is 2 years old we can replace it. Simply come into the office to buy the part. If not you can replace the Vertical Track and gain the warranty.
