Custom Blinds, Curtains & Awnings in Ashfield | Sunteca’s Mobile Showroom

A mobile showroom that suits Inner West homes

Instead of guessing colours on a screen, the mobile showroom brings samples to your home so fabrics, textures, and finishes can be viewed against your existing floors, wall colours, and period details (like leadlight or timber trim).

Experience streetscapes and conservation areas

Parts of Ashfield fall within heritage conservation areas, where the overall streetscape character matters. Inner West Council publishes maps and guidance for heritage conservation areas, including Ashfield.
That’s especially considering anything externally visible (awnings/external systems) or making changes that affect the façade. Council approval may be required in some circumstances, so it’s worth checking early if your property is heritage listed or within an HCA.

Custom-made solutions for tricky windows

Ashfield is known for grand historic homes, including properties around Alt Street—some even referenced in local heritage area documentation. That often means non-standard openings (arched windows, deep reveals, bay windows). Custom fitting helps preserve original features while improving privacy, insulation and glare control.

Child-safety considerations are built in

For families with young children, cord and chain safety is not optional. Australia has a mandatory safety standard for corded internal window coverings, including requirements around warnings, supplied safety devices, and installer labelling. During your measure, ask about cordless or safer operating options for nurseries and play areas.

Trusted Sydney family business

Sunteca has been operating in Sydney for over 40 years, with a hands-on family leadership team and a strong reputation for responsive communication and well-finished installs.

Federation and Victorian homes: keep the character, improve comfort

Common goals in older Ashfield houses are privacy, insulation, and blockout—without covering up the details that make the home special.

Blinds that often suit these homes:

• Roman blinds for living rooms and formal areas (adds softness and suits period styling)

• Double roller blinds for bedrooms (blockout at night, sunscreen by day)

• Venetians where you want airflow and fine-tuned light control

Practical detail: for older windows with gaps, a well-measured blockout setup (including the right side channels or pelmet style where suitable) may reduce light bleed and improve thermal comfort.

Low-rise apartments: privacy + space-saving

Apartments near busier roads and activity strips often need:

• Sunscreen rollers to cut glare while keeping daytime privacy

• Blockouts for shift workers or streetlight issues

• Motorisation for a cleaner finish and easy daily use

If you’re in a strata building, installation rules may apply (access times, common property requirements, or limits on what’s externally visible). It’s helpful to have your by-laws handy.

Shops and small businesses: clean lines and durable finishes

For offices, clinics, studios, and retail along key corridors, the priority is typically:

• Professional presentation from the street

• Glare reduction for screens

• Easy maintenance

• Consistent look across multiple windows

Sunteca also supplies commercial-grade options and has completed larger Sydney projects (useful reassurance if you’re fitting out more than one space)
