FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

There are a number of things we get asked at almost every consultation, so we thought we'd share our answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.

Q. WHERE ARE YOUR PRODUCTS MADE?

A. We love Australian made products! All our curtains, blinds, bedding & soft furnishings are all made locally, no further away than Melbourne. Our shutters are made in China, in an Australian owned and operated factory with exceptional working conditions.

Q. AREN'T CURTAINS A BIT 'OLD FASHIONED'?

A. Not at all! We adore curtains, and would certainly recommend them for modern and contemporary décor styles! Don't believe us? Have a look at our image galleries for plenty of examples.

Q. DO YOU CARRY ANY 100% LINEN FABRICS

A. Yes, but it's important to understand linen's nature. Linen curtains can look absolutely stunning in the right circumstances, but being a natural fibre, it can be a little temperamental in certain conditions. Natural linen holds creases even after steaming, and can expand and contract with different levels of humidity; meaning the length of your curtains could change by 3-5% depending on the weather!

 

We also carry plenty of alternatives that either look identical to linen, or contain some linen; this way you can have the look without the trouble (or the hearty price tag!)

Q. YOUR WEBSITE HAS A LOT OF IMAGES. ARE THEY YOUR OWN WORK?

A. YES! Every image on our website is of work completed by MTC. We've invested in an excellent camera so we can keep our image galleries updated with our own work, rather than showing stock images from our suppliers.

Q. CAN WINDOW COVERINGS HELP REDUCE MY ENERGY BILLS?

A. Absolutely! Homes lose the most energy through their windows. Window coverings can help with the insulation of your home by keeping the heat out in summer, and the warmth in during winter.

Q. WHY ARE CUSTOM WINDOW COVERINGS SO EXPENSIVE?

A. Custom made window coverings can be a large investment. In fact, we've written a blog post about it!

Q. HOW DO I CLEAN MY WINDOW COVERINGS?

A. There are plenty of cleaning options, depending on your chosen window coverings. While shutters and Venetian blinds only require wiping with a damp cloth, fabric window treatments can be a little more complicated.

Q: WHY MUST THE CHAINS ON MY BLINDS BE ANCHORED?

A. We are required by law to anchor any loose chains for the purposes of child safety. We will not install blinds unless we have a secure place to anchor the child safety device. If you don't want chains to be anchored, we recommend opting for motorised blinds instead.

A. We are happy to take appointments in the greater Sydney area.
