We ordered pleated blinds from champion blinds and couldn't be happier with the service and the product. Appointments made and kept by professional friendly installers. We had an issue with one of the blinds becoming misaligned but champion promptly fixed the problem under warranty for no charge, no drama. Highly recommend this company.

Just had blinds for our new home installed by Champion Blinds. Right from the start we have had a great experience. From first appointment choosing our fabric and colours with Craig, to communication and making appointments with Karen, all the way through to Mick our installer. All were professional, friendly, polite and nothing was too much trouble. Mick was a legend who also tidied up as he went. Great service all around guys.
Thankyou.
Thankyou.

Just wanted to thank you all so much for the absolutely beautiful Teal
Velvet drapes that are now hanging magnificently in our little sitting
room. I couldn't have wished for anything nicer. Please thank the lady
who made them as she has done an amazing job and thanks to the whole
team for great service. These are the first drapes we have ever bought
and I just love them.
