Dublin is the driest county in Ireland and the most varied to fit. The Georgian squares — Merrion, Fitzwilliam, Mountjoy — have protected sash windows with strict rules about what can be fixed to the frame, so recess-mounted romans and shutters usually win over anything that needs drilling into joinery. The red-brick terraces of Rathmines, Ranelagh, Phibsborough and Drumcondra have consistent bay windows that suit a three-part roller or venetian set. Out in the newer belt through Swords, Blanchardstown, Tallaght and Sandyford the apartment and duplex stock is uPVC and perfect fit blinds go up in minutes. South-facing rooms overlooking the bay from Dun Laoghaire to Howth take strong reflected light off the water.
At around 1,470 sunshine hours and only about 128 wet days a year, Dublin is the driest and one of the brightest counties — glare control and fabric fade are bigger issues here than damp.
1470 hours of bright sunshine a year puts Dublin among the brighter counties in Ireland, so glare control, UV fabric fade and summer heat gain are the issues worth spending money on. Mention it when you're getting quotes — it changes the fabric, not usually the style.
Fitters on our panel travel across the county. If your town isn't listed, put it on the form anyway — coverage is by area, not by postcode.
Recent reviews from homes across Dublin. Names shortened at the customer's request.
“Red-brick with a three-panel bay, which every previous quote treated as one window and got wrong. This fitter measured each panel and the finished result actually follows the bay properly. Worth the extra.”
“Rented apartment, so I couldn't drill anything. Perfect fit clipped straight into the beading with no fixings at all and the landlord had no issue. Whole place done in under two hours.”
“The light coming off the bay is fierce in the evenings and these have fixed it. Good product, good fitting. Only grumble is that parking on the hill made the fitting run long — not really their fault.”
From first enquiry to the fitter leaving. Eight steps, roughly three to four weeks end to end for made-to-measure blinds.
Two minutes on the quote form: your county, roughly how many windows, which rooms, and what you want the blinds to do. The more specific you are about the problem — glare, sleep, privacy, heat — the more useful the quotes come back.
Up to three independent fitters covering your area contact you directly, usually within two working days. You choose who to talk to and who to ignore.
The fitter measures every window individually — width at the top, middle and bottom, drop on both sides — and checks handles, trickle vents and sills. Never accept a quote given over the phone without a measure.
Samples are left with you so you can see them in the actual light of the room. This matters more than people expect: a fabric that looks warm in a showroom can read grey in a north-facing Dublin sitting room.
You get an itemised, per-window price with the fabric, fitting type, operation and lead time in writing. Compare like for like across your quotes — the spread on identical specifications is often €200 to €400 on a full house.
Made-to-measure blinds take about two to three weeks. Shutters take four to eight. You'll be given a fitting date, not a vague window.
A typical house takes two to four hours. Brackets go up, blinds are levelled and tested, cord safety devices are screwed down, packaging is taken away and the old blinds are removed if you asked for that.
Operate every blind fully. Check nothing catches on a handle, that each one hangs level, and that every safety device is fixed into something solid. This is the moment to raise anything, not a week later.

As a guide, expect roughly €40–€150 per window for roller blinds, €45–€140 for aluminium venetians, €70–€190 for day and night blinds, €90–€260 for wooden blinds and €280 upward for shutters, fitted. Prices in Dublin vary with window size, fabric choice and how many windows you do at once — doing a full house in one visit is almost always cheaper per window than doing rooms piecemeal.
Most fitters covering Dublin will survey within three to five working days of your enquiry. Made-to-measure blinds then take roughly two to three weeks to manufacture, and fitting is usually a single visit. Shutters are the exception at four to eight weeks, because each set is made to the exact opening.

At around 1,470 sunshine hours and only about 128 wet days a year, Dublin is the driest and one of the brightest counties — glare control and fabric fade are bigger issues here than damp. That points towards particular fabrics rather than particular styles, and a good local fitter will raise it before you pick a colour.
Yes, for the survey — someone over 18 needs to be there to give access and to talk through what each room is for. The measuring itself usually takes fifteen to twenty minutes for an average house. Fitting day generally takes two to four hours for a full house.
Yes. Perfect fit blinds clip into the rubber gasket between the glass and the uPVC frame with no screws and no holes, which makes them the standard recommendation for rented homes and apartments. Most of the newer housing stock across Dublin is uPVC, so this is available on the majority of windows we quote for.
