DIY isn't a downgrade — it's a different path

The DIY kit is the same MAB blackout system that gets professionally installed in Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Same blind, same tracks, same motor, same fabric. The only thing that’s different is who puts it in.

If you’re regional, on a tight timeline, comfortable with measuring, or just like doing things yourself — DIY makes sense.

Check window suitability

Confirm your reveal depth, sliding mechanism and any obstructions before measuring.

Measure

Width in 3 places (top, middle, bottom). Height in 3 places (left, centre, right). The measuring guide walks through it.

Order through the configurator

Enter your measurements. Pick frame colour, fabric and any accessories. The configurator gives you an exact price.

Install

Setup guide ships with the kit. Most installs take an afternoon. Setup support available if you get stuck.

What arrives in the box

Verification: confirm exact kit contents — especially whether brackets/fasteners ship with the kit or are sourced locally.

DIY isn't always the right call

DIY works best for standard windows with a single blind under 3 metres, a sufficient reveal depth, and a handy installer. It’s not the right path if:

In those cases, professional install is the safer path. The team can confirm before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions!

How long does DIY install take?

Most single-window installs take an afternoon — measuring is the careful part, installing is mechanical. If you’re installing multiple blinds, you’ll get faster with each one.

What tools do I need?

Standard tools — drill, level, measuring tape, screwdriver. Setup guide includes the full list before you start.

What if I measure wrong?

The configurator includes a measurement guarantee option (small fee) — if your measurements come back unworkable, the team helps re-cut. Without the guarantee, re-cuts are at cost. Better to measure carefully the first time.

What if I can't get the motor to pair?

Setup support is included. The Help Centre has a step-by-step pairing guide, and the team can troubleshoot via phone or video call.

Can I install it over a sliding door myself?

For straightforward single-blind installs (under 3 m, with 90 mm reveal), yes. For wider spans or installs that need frame modification, pro install is safer.

Where do you ship?

Australia-wide. Standard freight included in the kit price for most metro destinations. Remote and regional locations may carry a freight surcharge — the configurator shows this before checkout.

How long until my kit arrives?

Around 4 weeks from order to ship, plus freight time depending on your location.

What's the return policy?

100% money-back guarantee, conditions apply. Confirm conditions with the team before ordering.
