Transforma Retrofit System
A frame kit — side channels, top pelmet and sealed bottom rail — that retrofits over your existing roller blind. The blind keeps doing what it already does. The frame closes the four edges where light gets in.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars.
“Best decision we made. The whole room actually goes dark.”
The retrofit problem
Your blinds block fabric. They don't close the room.
You already have roller blinds. They work. They look fine. The room still gets light around the edges. Replacing them feels like overkill. Transforma is the middle path: keep what you have, add the frame that closes the gaps.
- Renters who can't replace built-in blinds but want a darker room.
- Renovators with working roller blinds and no appetite to scrap them.
- Owners who want to upgrade blackout without a full system replacement.
- Nursery and kids' rooms where you want darkness now, not after a long replacement project.
- Lower upfront cost than a complete system swap — useful for whole-house upgrades you stage room by room.
How it works
A frame that wraps your existing blind.
Side channels, top pelmet, sealed bottom rail. The existing blind keeps running as normal — Transforma closes the edges around it.
Side channels
Vertical channels close both sides of the existing blind.
Transforma specs

Transforma needs a photo check before ordering.
Different roller blinds and reveal depths suit different mounts. Send a photo of your existing blind with rough dimensions and we'll confirm suitability before you order.
What the retrofit gets you
The blind you already have. Properly dark.
Same blind, different room. The fabric did its job all along — the edges were the problem. Close them with a frame and the room actually goes dark.

From open to sealed.
Watch how the side channels and pelmet close the gap around a roller blind — the moment retrofit goes from idea to install.

Decide before you customise
Keep your blind, or go the full system.

Smart home upgrade
Standard setup. 16-channel remote, no app or voice control.

What customers say after the install.
4.9★★★★★verified customer reviews
“Converting my existing blinds to motorised ones was incredibly easy. The rail quality is excellent, and everything works perfectly — no light coming through at all. He also provides aftercare service which I thought was good.”
“Very easy to install and they look amazing. We have just ordered more for our other bedrooms. A++”
“Easy install, quick delivery and awesome customer service. Nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend this product and company.”
“John at Midnight Anytime Blinds was great — really happy with the customer service provided and the blinds are awesome.”
Before
AfterThe DIY case for the full system
Standard blinds leave gaps. The MAB kit doesn't.
A blackout fabric on its own isn't a blackout system. The halo around the brackets, the side curl, the glow under the bottom rail — those are the four points light leaks. A DIY MAB kit ships the same edge-sealing components the pro install does.
You don't pay more to wait three weeks for a quote.
- Light leaks around brackets, side gaps, and the sill
- Most off-the-shelf blackout blinds skip side tracks
- MAB ships the same complete system DIY or pro
- 100% money-back guarantee at order
How it works
Four steps. One afternoon.
Check fit, measure, customise, install. The same MAB system either pathway. DIY ships Australia-wide; pro install is available across key metro service areas.
Measure carefully
Width at three points. Height at three points. Use the smallest width and the largest height so the blind sits cleanly inside the tracks.
- Step-by-step measuring guide
- Steel tape + spirit level recommended
- Photo + video support if you're stuck
Customise & order

Install in an afternoon
30 minutes per window — under an hour with two people. Basic tools, phone and video support if anything looks off.

Common Transforma questions
Six things people ask before they retrofit.
- It's a frame system, not a blind. The kit includes side channels, a top pelmet and a sealed bottom rail. The actual blind is your existing roller blind. Transforma retrofits around it to close the light-gap edges. If you don't already have a roller blind, the motorised blackout system is the right product for you.
- It depends on the blind type, mount style and your reveal depth. Some open-roller blinds work straight up. Cassette-style blinds and some fabric weights need more checking. Send a photo of your existing blind with rough dimensions and we'll confirm suitability before you order.
- Transforma if you already have a roller blind that works and you just want better blackout around the edges. The full motorised blackout system if you don't have a blind yet, your existing blind is on its way out, or you want one fitted product with a rechargeable motor and remote. Different problems, different solutions.
- It can be — Transforma is DIY-installed and lower-impact than a full system replacement. Landlord approval is usually needed if drilling is involved. Confirm with your landlord before ordering. Photos of your window plus existing blind plus a note that this is a rental will help us guide the fit check.
- Transforma is set up as a DIY product. If you want professional install, the motorised blackout system is the install pathway — book a free measure and quote and we'll walk through the options.
- Standard household tools — drill, screwdriver, spirit level, measuring tape. No electrical work, no specialist install. The frame ships flat-pack with mounting hardware and a guide.
