The 50mm Timberline was omitted in the creation of the Woven Polyester Ladder Tape Sampler.  Our sincere apologies for this oversight.

Please make a note that the four (4) colours of quality woven polyester tape in White, Brown, Grey and Black are suitable for our 50mm Aluminium Venetians, Cedarline, Techwood Venetians and the 50mm Timberline.

We have listed this option on our Timber Venetians web page detailing the Timberline along with the other venetian options. To view please click here and scroll down. The updated PDF brochure is on the website and is in the Member Download section.

Last month we released the newly updated and long awaited (and can we say, much loved) ‘Bracket Book’. 

We then had just a few more changes to ensure the latest data was included, which then created the new digital version: V2_1115.  This is in the Members Download. Link below.

Then we went off to print… Yahoo!!!

The printed version will be arriving into the Melbourne warehouse this week.  So please place your orders with your account manager for delivery as soon as they arrive.

Whilst we don’t like to have to increase our prices we have no choice but to do so with costs having risen approximately 15%.

However, it’s not all bad news. As always we like to give you as much advance notice as possible. So, the new prices will be effective on ALL orders placed from 1 January 2016.  Plenty of time to get those quotes supplied at the current prices.

We have a new PDF Pricelist that will be released by Friday 4 December, 2015, that includes these changes.

BONDED BLINDS – ROLLERS OR ROMANS

  v2_250px

As always we are happy to work with you to achieve the best outcome for your customer and this is true for Bonded Blinds, both Roman and Rollers.

To this end, we need to increase the amount of sample fabric for testing to ensure that the fabric to be bonded is suitable for the making of blinds, once bonded.  Therefore, effective immediately, we now ask that your sample fabric MUST BE a MININIUM ½ metre x full width of the bonding fabric. 

Also, all fabric sampled for testing is required prior to order acceptance to confirm suitability to bonding.
