Start the install guide

The questions we get asked the most — every answer links into a deeper guide.

  • DIY suits people comfortable measuring and using basic tools, and works anywhere in Australia. Professional install is available in key metro service areas including Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and the Gold Coast — measure, supply and fit done for you. If you're unsure, see how both pathways work or send us photos and we'll point you the right way.
  • Check the window suitability guide first — reveal depth, squareness, obstructions and mount surface all affect fit. If you're still unsure, send photos through the fit check form and we'll come back with a yes / no / maybe-with-conditions answer.
  • Yes — the system is designed to reduce light leaks at all four edges. The fabric blocks the centre, the side tracks seal the verticals and the pelmet seals the top. That's why it's a system, not just a blind on a tube. See the 100% blackout system page for how the edge sealing works.
  • Per window, expect roughly an hour or two for your first one — most of that is measuring, marking and getting the brackets level. Subsequent windows go faster. For professional install, the time depends on the job; we confirm at quote.
  • Not often — the motor runs 6-9 months between charges, and we suggest topping it up roughly every 4 months to stay ahead of it. The signal it needs a charge is the blind not running all the way to the top or bottom on a single press of the remote. Full routine on the battery charging page.
  • You need the SmartHub accessory — it bridges the blinds to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi so you can control them from the free Smart Life app (iPhone and Android). Setup is a one-time pairing: download the app, power the hub, add the device, pair each blind and assign it to a room. Once connected, schedules and routines run from your phone.
  • MAB offers a 100% Money-Back Guarantee. Final return conditions, freight responsibility, timeframe and what counts as a valid return are confirmed at order. See the warranty and returns page for the detail.
  • DIY kits ship Australia-wide via courier. Lead time depends on the production queue — these are made-to-measure, so they aren't sitting on a shelf. We confirm the expected window at order and again when the kit dispatches. See the shipping and delivery page for the full picture.
