1300 034 818Sitting on the cliffs between Bondi and Vaucluse, Dover Heights looks straight out over open ocean, and that outlook is the reason people are here. It also makes for some of the most exposed windows in the Eastern Suburbs. We make curtains and blinds to suit both the view and the weather, fit them with our own team, and back the fabric for five years, with a 5.0 rating from more than a hundred local reviews.
Dover Heights is quiet and almost entirely residential, a suburb of large family homes on streets that run out to the cliff edge. Two things set the brief apart from the beach suburbs down the road. The outlook is open ocean rather than a beach or the harbour, framed by big east-facing windows that owners want to keep clear. And the exposure is real: up on the clifftop these homes cop wind-driven salt and intense, unbroken morning sun straight off the water. A treatment here has to hold the view, tame that strong easterly light, and be built from materials that will not give up early in a harsh spot. Made to measure is the starting point, since the large window spans in these homes are rarely a standard size.
Rooms that face the ocean get powerful, direct morning light and a lot of reflected glare off the water. A sheer curtain softens that while keeping the sea in view, and a sunscreen roller blind is a good option where you want firmer glare control without losing the outlook. In bedrooms, a blockout layer is close to essential given how early and how hard the sun arrives on this side. For the large picture windows common in Dover Heights homes, a clean wavefold heading suits the scale, and motorisation makes wide or high runs easy to operate.
This is not the place for cut-price fabric or hardware. The combination of strong UV and salt-laden wind on an exposed clifftop wears materials faster than a sheltered street, so we steer Dover Heights homes towards fade-resistant fabrics and corrosion-resistant fittings that stay looking and working right for years. For the rooms that suit blinds, a roller, roman or venetian blind rounds out the home, and the full blinds range covers the rest.
A consultant comes to your Dover Heights home, looks at how each room faces the ocean and the sun, and measures precisely. You get a clear quote, we make everything to your measurements, and our own installers fit it, generally within about three weeks. Dover Heights is part of our regular Eastern Suburbs run, so booking a measure is easy.
We understand exposed clifftop living, the fierce east light, the salt, and the wish to keep an ocean outlook front and centre. One consultant handles the job from measure to install, our own crew does the fitting, and the fabric is guaranteed for five years, with a 5.0 review record behind it. The consultation and quote are free and come to you.

A sheer holds the view while softening the strong reflected light, and a sunscreen roller blind gives firmer glare control if you need it. Because the light is so direct here, bedrooms almost always want a blockout layer as well.
East-facing clifftop rooms get intense early light. Sheers or sunscreen blinds take the edge off during the day, and blockout in bedrooms keeps mornings dark. We match the fabric to how exposed each room is.
Only if they are chosen for it. Strong UV and salt-laden wind wear cheap materials quickly up here, so we recommend fade-resistant fabrics and corrosion-resistant hardware for Dover Heights homes.
It depends on the fabric, the style, and the size and number of your windows, which tend to be large in these homes. You get an itemised quote after the in-home measure, before anything is made.

My experience with The Curtain Lab is not one you would expect…
I had a need to have the curtains in my two bedrooms cleaned.
This requires them to be done professionally as they are large and heavy, making it difficult for me to handle. They also need to be done when I am away as the bedrooms are exposed to the street.
My Dry Cleaners are excellent, whereby they come and take them down and return them in beautiful condition to rehang, all before I return home.
I had been home a few days, curtains looking lovely, had gone out for the day and when I arrived home the curtain in my bedroom had collapsed leaving the track badly bent with half the curtain hanging from it.
I emailed The Curtain Lab on a Sunday and on the Monday a young lady by the name of Andrea responded, by telephone, to my email. She arranged to meet me on the Wednesday of that week.
Andrea was obviously expecting me to arrange to purchase new curtains but on inspection she new this was not necessary. She said to me “I will take a close look and see what I can do for you”.
Of course, I was not expecting this and was happy to arrange for a new track to be installed.
Andrea did manage to re-position the track albeit still bent but the curtain is sliding along freely……for now.
Needless to say, I am delighted and have no hesitation in recommending The Curtain Lab to anyone. I will definitely call Andrea when I decide to change the look of my bedroom.
Thank You Andrea ???? Christine From Millers Point
Professional, warm, and efficient with a wonderful result at the end. Highly recommended.
Our experience with the Curtain Lab was excellent. Great communication, wonderful style recommendations, speedy service and great product. Our new curtains and roller blinds look amazing. Definitely recommend contacting the Curtain Lab for window coverings!
Great service, quality of product and value! Andrea went above and beyond to bring my vision for my attic to life despite the challenging angles involved. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone!
I have NEVER posted a review before and always read reviews with a grain of salt; but it would be very unfair for me not to this time. I got my first home and needed help with curtains. I am so thankful that by divine intervention I decided to hold off on my previous choice and then met Andrea. Andrea was a godsend.
She is not only a lovely person but also patient and very accommodating - making multiple phone calls and trips, extremely understanding of my demanding work schedule. This is the most genuine and honest review you would ever find! I can't recommend her enough!
Andrea was incredibly helpful and knew her stuff. Very nice to have someone help you that you trust, knowing they have your best interests at heart!
Thank you Andrea. We couldn’t be happier with our new sheers. We were so impressed with your professionalism and the outstanding results. I would definitely recommend your company to anyone looking for new curtains.
Thank you to Andrea and the Curtain Lab team! I'm super happy with the job and they're so helpful. The curtains are so lovely. Definitely recommend!
