Tip Top Blinds: custom blinds, curtains and awnings in Melbourne

Tip Top Blinds is a manufacturer and supplier of home window solutions based in Clayton, Victoria. The company presents itself as a specialist in custom blinds, curtains, shutters and awnings, with its own factory and more than seven decades in business. Its catalogue is organised into interior solutions (roller blinds, curtains, shutters) and exterior solutions (awnings, roof systems, sun protection), and includes motorisation options.

In-house manufacturing and factory-direct prices

The company states that it manufactures blinds, curtains and awnings at its Clayton plant, without middlemen, which according to its presentation translates into factory-direct prices. It claims that every piece is made to the millimetre and that the entire process — measuring, manufacturing and installation — is carried out by its own teams, not subcontractors. The company declares a five-year warranty on parts and labour.

Measuring, advice and quote services

Tip Top Blinds offers a free in-home consultation where a consultant measures the windows and recommends the right solution. It also has a designer showroom in Clayton to see the full range, touch fabrics and receive advice before buying. For new-build or renovation projects, the company accepts plans and prepares a detailed quote without the need for an appointment. The website mentions three ways to get a quote: a home visit, a showroom visit or sending plans.
