Blinds Singapore Installation: How We Measure and Install Your Custom Blinds

You’ve picked a blind you like, but now you’re wondering how it actually gets from a product page to your window. That question comes up a lot, especially for buyers in Singapore who are dealing with a non-standard window size or an HDB flat with its own renovation rules to follow.

Getting custom blinds installed here works in a fairly simple process. You send us your window measurements, floor plan, or photos first. We then work out a quote, confirm the sizing, have the blind made to fit, and then it’s fitted at your home. The faster you can send us your measurements, floor plan, or photos, the sooner we can turn around an accurate quote. Our team is on hand to help if you’re not sure how to take your own measurements. Every blind is made to order from trusted collections like Privyflex and Decowin, so it’s built for your exact window from the start.

How Does Blinds Installation Work in Singapore?

The short version is that measurement comes before production, and production comes before fitting. Nothing gets made until your window size is confirmed, because a blind cut to the wrong size is a wasted blind.

If you live in an HDB flat, timing matters too. HDB renovation permits run for a set validity period, generally one month for resale flats and three months for BTO flats from the date of approval, and any approved works need to be finished within that window. That’s a tighter window than most people expect, so it helps to plan installation early rather than leaving it to the last few days before you move in.

How Do You Measure My Windows Before Installing Blinds?

We ask for your floor plan, estimated window sizes, or clear photos, since that’s what we use to work out an accurate quote. Sending this information over yourself is the quickest way to get your quote moving, and our team will flag anything that looks off before your blind goes into production.

If your window frame isn’t perfectly square, and a lot of HDB and condo windows aren’t, it helps to measure the width and drop at more than one point. Take the smallest measurement for width and the largest for drop, rather than assuming one number covers the whole frame.

Unsure about your numbers? Send us your measurements and we’ll double-check them for you before production starts.

What Happens During the Custom Blinds Installation Process?

Once your measurements are confirmed and your order is placed, the blind is made to your exact size rather than a standard off-the-shelf one. Whether you’ve chosen a Privyflex system or a Decowin dual-layer roller blind, it’s cut and finished for your window before our team ever steps inside your home. After that, the installation happens at your home.

For HDB flats specifically, general renovation works are permitted only between 9am and 6pm on weekdays and Saturdays, with no work allowed on Sundays or public holidays, according to HDB’s published guidelines. Blinds installation itself is light work compared to hacking or drilling, but the same timing rules still apply if you live in an HDB flat, so it’s worth checking your schedule against those hours before booking a slot.

Do I Need an HDB Permit to Install Blinds in My Flat?

For most flats, no. HDB’s own renovation guideline documents list the installation of Venetian blinds, bamboo chicks, and curtain rails as items that fall under general renovation guidelines rather than requiring a separate structural permit. It’s treated as a minor, internal fitting job, not a structural change.

That said, if you’re installing blinds as part of a bigger renovation that also involves drilling near structural walls, electrical rewiring, or hacking, the wider renovation permit still applies to those other works, even if the blinds themselves aren’t the issue. It’s worth checking your specific situation with HDB or your renovation contractor if you’re doing several things at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this mean I never need an HDB permit for window blinds?
Not always. Blind installation on its own usually doesn’t need a permit, but if it’s part of a larger renovation involving drilling near structural elements or electrical work, that wider permit still covers those other jobs.

Can I self-measure and just send you the numbers?
Yes, most customers do this. Just measure the width and drop at more than one point on the window, since frames are rarely perfectly square, especially in older HDB flats.

How long before installation happens after I confirm my order?
This depends on the specific product and finish you choose, so it’s confirmed with you directly once your order is placed rather than fixed at a set number of days.

Can installation happen on a Saturday?
Yes, for HDB flats, general renovation works including blind installation are allowed on Saturdays between 9am and 6pm, just not on Sundays or public holidays.
