Sunscreen Blinds NZ

Reduce heat and glare while maintaining daytime privacy

Sunscreen blinds — also commonly called privacy blinds or sun filter blinds — are designed to reduce heat, glare, and UV exposure without blocking your view. Ideal for NZ homes with large windows or strong sunlight, they filter harsh light while maintaining daytime privacy

Unlike blockout blinds, sunscreen roller blinds allow natural light in while helping protect furnishings from UV fade and improving indoor comfort. They’re a practical, modern solution for living areas, offices, and street-facing rooms where visibility and light control both matter

Available made-to-measure, with easy DIY installation or full service options

What sunscreen blinds actually do

Sunscreen blinds — also known as privacy blinds or sun filter blinds — are designed to reduce heat, glare, and UV exposure while still allowing you to see out during the day. They’re a popular choice in NZ homes with strong sunlight, large windows, or street-facing rooms where light control and visibility both matter

Made from tightly woven technical fabrics, sunscreen roller blinds filter harsh sunlight rather than blocking it completely. This helps lower indoor temperatures, protect flooring and furniture from UV fade, and improve comfort without making rooms feel dark or enclosed

Unlike blockout blinds, sunscreen blinds are intended for daytime use — offering varying levels of outward visibility and daytime privacy depending on fabric openness and colour choice

Daytime vs night-time privacy

During the day, sunscreen blinds allow you to see out — while limiting how much people outside can see in. The level of daytime privacy depends on the fabric openness and colour, but sunscreen blinds are well suited to daytime privacy in living areas and street-facing rooms

At night, this effect is reversed somewhat. With interior lights on and darkness outside, sunscreen blinds do not provide full night-time privacy — visibility from outside becomes more noticeable, often appearing as silhouettes or blurred shapes

For this reason, many customers use sunscreen blinds for daytime comfort and combine them with blockout blinds, curtains, or another window covering when complete privacy is required at night. This approach provides flexibility — light and view during the day, privacy when it matters most

Fabric openness — 3%, 5%, or 10%?

When choosing sunscreen blinds, you’ll often see fabrics described by a percentage (%) — this is the openness factor, which indicates how much light and visibility passes through the fabric

At 3% openness, the weave is tighter — reducing glare and heat the most while offering higher daytime privacy, with a more limited view out

5% openness is the most popular choice — it strikes a balance between glare reduction, daytime privacy, and maintaining a clear view outside

With 10% openness, more light and visibility pass through the fabric — ideal where preserving the view is the priority, while still cutting harsh sunlight and UV

Choosing the right openness factor depends on sun exposure, desired privacy, and how much view you want to retain — we offer 3%, 5%, and 10% fabrics to suit most NZ homes

Colour impacts heat and glare

Fabric colour plays an important role in how sunscreen blinds perform — not just how they look

Darker colours absorb more heat but reduce glare more effectively and provide a clearer view out. They’re often preferred where glare control and outward visibility are priorities

Lighter colours reflect more heat and keep rooms feeling brighter, but can appear more glary in strong sunlight and make it harder to see through when the sun is directly hitting the blind

When choosing a colour, consider the sun’s path, how much glare you experience, and the balance between heat control, view, and aesthetics — while also ensuring the fabric complements your existing interior finishes

Quality components matter

The performance and lifespan of sunscreen blinds depend as much on the components as the fabric itself

Quality componentry ensures smooth operation, consistent fabric tension, and long-term reliability — particularly important in NZ conditions where blinds are exposed to strong sun and frequent use

We use Rollease Acmeda components, a globally recognised manufacturer known for precision engineering and durable materials. This includes the roller tube, control mechanisms, and operating chain — all designed to withstand UV exposure and daily operation without premature wear

Choosing proven componentry helps ensure your sunscreen blinds operate smoothly, maintain their appearance, and continue performing as intended for years to come

DIY or full service — your choice

Sunscreen blinds are well suited to DIY installation — they’re lightweight, straightforward to fit, and supplied made-to-measure with clear instructions. We courier nationwide, so DIY orders can be delivered anywhere in NZ

If you’d prefer a hands-off option, full service is available in selected main centres — covering measuring, supply, and installation for complete peace of mind

This flexibility lets you choose what suits your time, location, budget and confidence level — without compromising on product quality or performance

Lead time for sunscreen blinds

All our sunscreen blinds are made to measure in New Zealand, using quality fabrics and components designed for NZ conditions

Because each blind is custom manufactured, typical production time is around 2–3 weeks. This allows for accurate sizing, proper assembly, and quality control — not rushed, mass-produced shortcuts

Once manufacturing is complete, allow a further 1–4 working days for courier delivery, depending on your location, or to schedule installation if you’ve chosen our service option

Sunscreen blinds benefit from careful fabrication — consistent fabric tension, smooth operation, and long-term durability — which is why they’re worth the wait

All our sunscreen blinds are made in NZ, ensuring reliable after-sales support and products built to handle strong UV and everyday use

Colour options for sunscreen blinds

Our sunscreen blind fabrics are sourced from reputable, long-established NZ-based suppliers and selected specifically for New Zealand’s high UV conditions. This ensures better colour stability, longer fabric life, and consistent performance over time. When choosing colours, it’s not just about appearance — fabric colour directly affects heat, glare, and visibility. Darker colours reduce glare more effectively and provide a clearer outward view, but absorb more heat. Lighter colours reflect more heat and keep rooms brighter, though they can appear more glary in strong sun. If you’d like to see fabrics in your own space, we can arrange loan fabric samples so you can check colour, texture, and light performance at home before ordering. We’re also happy to help you choose a fabric that suits your space, light requirements, and budget Mid-tone colours are the most popular choice, offering a balanced mix of comfort, privacy, and visual softness. Most homeowners choose one consistent colour throughout the home to maintain a clean, cohesive look while still achieving effective light control. Use our fabric selector to filter by colour, openness, or price — or ask us for guidance if you’re unsure. The right colour choice improves comfort, protects interiors from UV, and complements your home’s overall style. If you’d like to see fabrics in person, a small loan set of sunscreen fabric swatches can be requested once your quote has been sent, allowing you to assess colour, openness, and light control before ordering

How to measure for sunscreen blinds

Accurate measuring ensures your sunscreen blinds sit neatly, operate smoothly, and deliver the right balance of light control and visibility. The process is straightforward, and we provide downloadable PDF guides for all common installation types — inside fit and outside fit — linked at the bottom of this section. Below is the most common approach: inside fit, where the blind sits inside the window jamb

Measure in 3 steps

1. Measure width (3 places)

Measure the inside width of the window jamb using a tape measure. Take measurements at three points — top, middle, and bottom — and record the smallest width in millimetres. This accounts for any variation in the window opening and helps ensure the blind runs freely without rubbing or binding. Measure inside edge to inside edge (wood to wood), keeping the tape level

2. Measure drop (once)

Measure the drop once only, from the top inside edge of the jamb down to the sill or desired finished point. Unlike width, drop measurement is more forgiving — sunscreen blinds are manufactured with extra fabric on the roll, so precision at multiple points isn’t required. Take your time reading the tape measure and record the measurement clearly in millimetres

3. Enter your sunscreen blind measurements

When requesting a quote, enter measurements as width × drop (mm). DIY orders — enter your exact measurements. Service option — approximate measurements are fine initially; final measurements will be confirmed onsite before manufacture. Getting measurements right from the outset helps ensure a neat fit, smooth operation, and proper light control — without delays or adjustments later

Easy install — inside fit made simple

Sunscreen blinds are straightforward to install, especially for standard inside-fit windows. The steps below cover the most common installation method — with downloadable PDFs available further down this section for alternative installs

Most customers choose inside fit for a neat finish and reliable operation, but outside-fit options (on or above the architrave) are also supported

1. Preparation

You’ll need a drill or screwdriver, pencil, tape measure, and a step ladder for most windows

We supply the brackets required for your sunscreen blind. Screws suitable for inside-fit installations into timber are also included

For outside-fit installations, fixing requirements can vary depending on the wall substrate (plasterboard, masonry, concrete, etc.). Your local hardware store can advise on the most suitable fixings for your specific situation — refer to the relevant outside-fit installation PDF for guidance

2. Fit the brackets

Each sunscreen roller blind has two brackets:

  • Control-side bracket (chain side)

  • Pin-end bracket (non-control side)

Hold the brackets in position inside the window jamb, thinking about:

  • The desired jamb depth for the blind

  • Where the fabric will hang when lowered

  • Clearance from window handles or latches

  • Ensuring the blind will sit level

Mark fixing points with a pencil. Drill pilot holes if required (near edges or harder timber), then secure both brackets firmly using the supplied screws

3. Fit the sunscreen blind

Insert the control side first, ensuring the chain hangs freely

Make sure the guarded section (where the control chain enters the control mechanism) is level front to back — critical for correct operation and safety

Keep gentle pressure so the blind stays seated on the control-side bracket as you move to the opposite side. Retract the spring-loaded pin, guide it into the pin-end bracket, until it clicks into place

Once seated, remove any packaging, lower the blind fully, test operation, and fit the chain-stopper beads

Detailed, step-by-step guides are available below for:

  • Outside fit on architrave

  • Outside fit above architrave

This is the second time we have ordered sunscreen blinds through Blinds Online. Both times the service and communication has been great. The quality of the sunscreen blinds is great.

I wanted more sun blinds for my lounge and asked Ryan for a quote. This arrived the next day and I was pleased to see how reasonably priced they were. This was after sorting through the endless options that were available. Even then it was difficult to choose colours online, so I asked if samples could be sent to me and these arrived quickly too. I put the order through and was advised when to expect delivery. A couple of weeks later an email arrived saying the blinds had been dispatched - and this was even earlier than I thought. Delivery was overnight. Installation was easily done as instruction were sent through for this. I am very pleased with the quality of the blinds and will be ordering more.

Our sunscreen blinds order was submitted and Ryan contacted us to recheck measurements in view of our build not being conventional timber frame and gib We have tilt and turn windows plus large bifold doors meaning some sunscreen blinds had to fit inside the reveal and others could only be fitted outside. His personal interest was very reassuring, considering the distance between us and his quick grasp of our build We will be using Blinds Online again and thoroughly recommend them for efficiency, cost and prompt delivery.

Thanks Joan — really appreciate such a thorough review. Mangawhai homes often come with unique window designs, so it’s great to hear the mix of inside-fit and outside-fit sunscreen blinds worked well across your tilt-and-turn windows and bifold doors. Glad we could help and look forward to assisting again anytime

And again excellent quality blinds and service from Ryan & team. The chain mechanism is good quality (compared to other companies I've used) and metal/powder coasted pelmets are the finishing touch. The pelmet covers cost a bit extra but add a premium finish so recommend these if you're thinking about them.

Excellent service, thoroughly recommend. We decided to get the windows and doors measured as we required about 17 blinds so didn’t want to make a mistake especially as we were mid renovations. Ryan had a local contact he could use who also fitted the blinds. Ryan was a pleasure to deal with, he answered all queries promptly and advised on options to suit our budget. He was not at all pushy but once we had decided on the products he got the blinds ordered and delivered ASAP, there was an issue with damage in transit but this was sorted with minimal delay. I would definitely recommend this company and I would use them again. The fact they are based in Auckland and we are in Tauranga was not an issue. we were wary of sub standard products so did a lot of research first before finding the right one.

We chose the full service option, with measuring and installation handled by a professional. We were looking for some sunscreen roller blinds to cut down the heat coming through two windows in different rooms. Ryan was very flexible, offering alternatives based on what we said at the outset and then revising them once the windows had been measured. He kept me up to date with the progress and took the time to check in again after installation to make sure that everything was to our satisfaction. The local blind installer was also great, arriving promptly as arranged and handling the work with no fuss. Three days later and the sunscreen blinds are working perfectly, providing privacy and cutting the heat down whilst still keeping the light coming through. Will definitely use Blinds Online again.

FAQS

Q.

Do sunscreen blinds provide privacy at night?

A.

Not complete privacy, no. And not enough for many people. Clients living rurally or where there is no direct view from neighbours or the street are often happy with sunscreen blinds alone. You have daytime privacy with sunscreen blinds. However come night time, when it's dark outside and the lights are on inside, visibility is the other way round to some degree. People can't see in super clearly. It's more blurry shapes and colours really however if privacy is important to you sunscreen blinds alone will not be enough You could accompany your sunscreen blinds with either curtains, roman blinds, or a blockout roller blind. Or sometimes sheer roller blinds may be better suited to your needs than sunscreen blinds. (And remember: 'if it wasn't for blinds, it would be curtains for all of us!') NB: we don't supply curtains or roman blinds

As sunscreen blinds (or any roller type blinds) get wider there will be some slight deflection (sag) in the head tube that spans between brackets, from which the sunscreen blind fabric hangs. The deflection is caused by gravity and becomes more so the wider the sunscreen blind is. The deflection can then cause slight 'vee-ing' or 'sagging' in the fabric which usually presents itself as a V shaped wrinkle down the centre of the fabric. This V is often subtle however can be an issue for some people; other people don't notice it or have issue with it. Different sunscreen blind fabric colours make this more or less noticeable. Lighter coloured fabrics tend to show 'veeing' more than darker colours in my experience. Ceiling down-lights nearby can highlight 'vee-ing' if present. The effect can be pronounced with 'softer' fabrics. Lighter weight fabrics are less prone to 'vee-ing' however if present can be more noticeable than with heavier fabrics. The larger the sunscreen blind the more obvious this effect can be. When I say 'wider', I advise clients about the possibility of 'vee-ing' around the 2.5m wide mark and wider. It's usually more common when you combine greater width sunscreen blinds with full drops of 1.8m or greater. All our sunscreen blinds use superior head tube extrusions to minimise deflection and 'vee-ing'. Sunscreen blinds over 2m have a heavier duty reinforced head tube again to further minimise this effect. Thinner gauge head tube extrusions is one area companies cut corners to deliver cheap blinds. As you can see there is no exact science to this phenomenon – if you feel it is going to be an issue for you (aesthetically) I'd encourage you to split 'wider' window and door openings into two sunscreen blinds. 'Vee-ing' is a characteristic of wider sunscreen blinds and is not considered a fabric flaw or manufacturing fault. It isn't possible to hang large sections of sunscreen blind fabric completely flat

You certainly may! There are some key aspects to sunscreen blinds to keep in mind when comparing and selecting the right fabric for your needs. 1. FABRIC SUPPLIERS Are the fabrics offered from a reputable fabric supplier with a proven track record in supplying fabrics for NZ conditions? What warranty period and terms relate to the fabric itself. Avoid the low cost fabrics from who knows where? What certifications do they have or not? Do they have the right UV inhibitors to last in our conditions down here in NZ? Colourfastness? etc. Blinds Online Ltd don't offer any cheap generic sunscreen blind fabrics – we only offer fabrics from well established fabric suppliers. Texstyle and Shaw are both proven NZ based sunscreen blind fabric suppliers. And we take this same lasting quality approach to the componentry we use as well; no cheap quality componentry that discolours, become brittle, and fails, available here. We only use Acmeda componentry. 2. OPENNESS FACTOR This relates to the small holes in the sunscreen blind fabric, how much light passes through into your home, and how much light is blocked out. You don't want to cut back all the light; otherwise you'd be needing a blockout roller blind, not a sunscreen blind. You want some light, you want to cut back glare and heat gain, possibly retain your view to some extent, and reduce the amount of UV damage to carpets, floors, and furniture. The openness factor will also dictate the amount of privacy you get. Openness factor is expressed as a percentage; Commonly: 3%, 5%, and 10%. For example a sunscreen blind fabric with an openness factor of 5% will allow 5% of the light to pass through into your home while blocking out 95% of it. The lower the %, the less light, less view, more UV protection, and more privacy you get. The higher the % the more light and the clearer view out you get. 3. COLOUR Within any specific sunscreen blind fabric range, there is no price difference between colours. What you do need to consider is that light colours (straight white especially) can be quite 'glarey' to look at when the sun is directly on the fabric. Dark colours are easier to look through (at the view) however will absorb more heat than lighter colours, which will reflect more sunlight than absorb it. Also consider tying your colour choice in with some aspect of your homes decor; whether it be the carpets, walls, or picking up and complementing colours in the kitchen bench for an example. 4. WEAVE This relates the how many fabric strands cross each other in each direction. Most sunscreen blind fabrics are 2X2; two strands vertically for every two strands horizontally making up a 2X2 weave. There is also a 2X1 weave which is typically easier to look through so great if retaining the view is important to you. Both weave options are available here. You may need to look at fabrics closely to see and understand what I mean in terms of weave. To my eye the 2X2 weave looks more stock standard while the 2X1 weave does have a more refined look about it. Then there's completely different weave designs like Dakota; for more of a fashion statement or point of difference to your home's decor. 5. BUDGET This of course comes into play to different degrees depending on your situation. I'd encourage you to request a quote based on what you want design wise, initially, but know that if the quote doesn't match your budget I can always help direct you accordingly, with an alternate quote. Or if your budget is tight and you want to go straight to the most economical sunscreen fabrics (without compromising on the things that make sunscreen blinds last) then look at these ranges. So in conclusion, think about the above aspects and what's most important to you when considering sunscreen blind fabrics. There is a lot of specific fabric data in the sunscreen blind fabric selector when you hover over the 'fabric range name' info icon as well. Scan through the other FAQS here too as some of these above aspects are discussed further. There may be other considerations relevant to your situation covered in the FAQ sections. And of course if you have more questions just ask!

All sunscreen blind fabrics we offer are from reputable fabric suppliers with NZ support; tested and proven to outlast generic rip-offs. (The suppliers we use are TEXSTYLE, SHAW, and UNILINE). Of the fabrics we do, there are no real quality differences between them, in terms of longevity. The cost differences between sunscreen blind fabrics offered come down to manufacturing runs, supplier size and scale, weave complexity, eco practices, certifications, and demand really. Popular ranges allow me to buy at better pricing and pass these savings on to you. NB: ALL OUR SUNSCREEN BLINDS USE ACMEDA componentry. No low quality short-life span componentry here! Ranking sunscreen blind fabrics in terms of cost are as follows: ONE SCREEN & DUO SCREEN: Priced very similar to each other and are the most economical sunscreen blind fabric ranges available here. SHEERWEAVE: Is mid range and it's here with the Sheerweave range that you get different 'openness' factors to choose from, i.e.; 3%, 5% and 10%. SOLAR VIEW: Starting to get nearer the higher end, Solar View is a 5-6% sunscreen blind fabric. DAKOTA & VIVID SHADE: These are premium priced sunscreen blind fabrics. Dakota has a very different looking fabric weave offering an individual design statement. While Vivid Shade, with its 2X1 weave construction gives a smooth elegant looking appeal compared to other 2X2 weave sunscreen blind fabrics. Here's the full SUNSCREEN BLIND FABRIC SELECTOR

Sunscreen blind samples can be couriered out to you. This way you can view them in your home, take your time, and get others to weigh in on fabric colour choices. We ask that you narrow down the ranges you request and that you please return them once you've finished. We actively recycle sunscreen blind samples on to the next client. There is also a significant cost in making the samples. For returns, most samples fit neatly in a $3.5 NZ Post bag, or at most a $7 post bag. The upside of having sunscreen blind samples sent out to you is that you don't have to visit a showroom. You can take your own time deciding what's best for you, and your home, in your home. Before requesting sunscreen blind samples I do encourage people get a quote, or multiple quotes, first, to ensure Blinds Online and the considered fabrics sit within your budget range. Use the online sunscreen blind fabric selector to narrow down the specific ranges you want sent out. As a suggestion, 2 to 3 ranges can be easily sent out and returned. If you are within Auckland and we are conducting a check measure/consult visit, before proceeding with manufacture, then my installers are setup with the sunscreen blind samples for you to view at home while they measure

While researching sunscreen blinds you'll quickly discover that the fabrics are often referred to in terms of a percentage value (%); Commonly there are 3%, 5%, and 10% sunscreen blind fabrics; These values refer to the ‘openness factor’ of the fabric and indicate what percentage of sunlight passes through the sunscreen blind fabric; For example: a 5% sunscreen blind allows 5% of the available sunlight to pass through the sunscreen blind fabric, while blocking 95% of it out; All sunscreen blinds reduce the glare, UV, and heat coming into your house well; One might also consider openness values when weighing up how important the view out through the sunscreen blind is: 3% cuts back the most amount of light and gives you the least amount of view; 10% gives you the most view; 5% sunscreen blinds are a good balance and is the most common choice in most cases; Your fabric colour choice will impact the view out through the sunscreen blind as well; potentially more so than openness factor even – see FAQ: 'Does fabric colour dictate how well sunscreen blinds work? The Uniview and Sheerweave fabric ranges both boast a full range of fabrics across all openness values (3%, 5%, and 10%); While most of the other sunscreen blind fabric ranges only offer an openness factor of 5%

The colour of your sunscreen roller blind impacts both heat gain and glare on the eye. As is with anything, darker colours attract more heat but do offer a less 'glarey' sunscreen blind to look at or out through. A darker colour would provide a better view out through the fabric, if that's important to you. Lighter coloured sunscreen roller blinds reflect more of the suns heat but increase the glare on the eye and thus they are more difficult to see out through when compared to darker colours. Glare on the eye from sunscreen roller blinds is most prominent when the sun is directly hitting the sunscreen blind and when straight white colours have been chosen. When choosing sunscreen blind colours, consider the path of the sun, the above points, and also try to best compliment your floors and décor. NB: There is no price difference between colours within a specific fabric range, i.e., all the colours within Dakota, for example, are the same price as each other

Yes, that's their main purpose and what sunscreen blinds do so well. To protect and ensure the longevity of your carpets, wooden floors, and couches etc you may well choose to incorporate sunscreen blinds throughout key areas of your home. Similarly, choose sunscreen blind fabrics from reputable fabric suppliers so they also last the test of time and stand up to UV. Not all fabrics have been tested or stand up to our NZ UV sunlight, so do your due diligence and avoid replacing your blinds and décor sooner than expected. If you really want to 'geek out' and potentially overwhelm yourself with the numbers, look into the different 'Tuv Ultraviolet Transmittance' values of different sunscreen fabrics and the colours within each fabric range. For more explanation around 'Tuv values' see FAQ, 'What are Tuv Ultraviolet Transmittance values?'. For the majority of us, just knowing that true quality sunscreen roller blinds from quality suppliers is what is needed to protect our home's floors and furnishings from the fading effects of UV damage

A.

For those of you that really want to dive into the numbers and data, and to test other blind suppliers; any blind supplier worth their salt will be able to supply you with sunscreen roller blind fabric data and values from recognised testing to international standards One such measure of a sunscreen blind's worth is its 'Tuv' value; its Ultraviolet Transmittance value. Tuv or Ultraviolet Transmittance is the amount of UV that is transmitted through a particular sunscreen blind fabric; A Tuv of 7 means that 93% of the UV is blocked; This is important when considering the protection of your flooring and furniture against fading; If you'd like to get into the nitty gritty numbers and values of sunscreen roller blind fabrics and their solar properties, i have provided links, below, to the technical data for the different ranges i offer: Duo Screen, technical data can be downloaded here Sheerweave 3%, technical data can be downloaded here Sheerweave 5%, technical data can be downloaded here Sheerweave 10%, technical data can be downloaded here Uniview 2%, technical data can be viewed here Uniview 5%, technical data can be viewed here Uniview 10%, technical data can be viewed here Vivid Shade, technical data can be viewed here THE KEY TAKEAWAY: One condensed way to summarise all this is that all the fabrics we offer are internationally tested and are from reputable fabric suppliers; Not all fabrics used in the wider blind industry have gone through such rigorous testing so please do your due diligence if you want your sunscreen blinds and your home's decor to last

Spot cleaning sunscreen blinds is much like the approach you'd take when spot cleaning blackout blinds. Which is: Remove any surface dust or dirt with a duster, wet wipe, or soft lint free cloth. Wipe clean with warm soapy water, a mild detergent, and a damp cloth. Then dry with a clean lint free cloth

Never use abrasive products like 'JIF', solvents, bleach based or industrial cleaners. Ensure the sunscreen blind is dry before rolling up. Again it depends what the stain is as to what level of success you will have in completely removing it, or not. As the sunscreen fabric weave strands are more open, things like mould, if left to take hold, can really get in between the strands making it stubborn to remove completely

Sunscreen blind fabrics are generally more rugged, especially when compared to those fancier blackout fabrics, so you could safely employ a little more elbow grease, and even use an old soft bristled toothbrush, for the those strong-willed stains. Testing the results and fabric as you go before unleashing your full cleaning fury. Beyond these approaches you may consider the services of a professional blind cleaner, should one be nearby
