We get a lot of questions asked of us here at Aurora. Many of them are related to particular products, for this you can see a list of Product FAQ’s on each product page of our website. Alternatively, try using the ‘Search’ function bar on the top left of our homepage. We are continually building these pages every single day with the new questions asked.
Below are some of our most frequently asked questions by our customers and referral partners.
Absolutely. We offer pre-settlement installations where access is available, so your window furnishings can be installed and ready from day one. Just let us know your settlement timeline.
Yes. Our local consultants offer free in-home consultations. We’ll bring product samples, measure your windows, and provide expert advice on what will work best in your space.
For apartment living, we often recommend a combination of blockout roller blinds for privacy and sheers for daytime softness and filtered light. We also offer stylish shutters and motorised options for added convenience.
Yes. We offer motorisation and smart-home-ready options compatible with Google Home, Alexa, and other platforms. Ask us during your consultation and we’ll show you how it works.
That’s true and we’re ok with this. There are a few reasons:
No. Our pricing is fair and competitive but different to others as our products are of the good quality and service is unrivalled. We have longer warranties and lifetime value. Having said that, due to our low overheads and owner involvement, we can genuinely match/come close to quotes, and then exceed service and quality expectations in comparison.
Aurora Designs carefully selects manufacturing partners and workrooms based on an extensive criteria, which includes:
We support handmade workrooms in Canberra, South Coast NSW, Sydney, Melbourne, the Gold Coast and Adelaide.
No. We don’t believe in offering discounts off our products to try and attract customers or business. We put our best foot forward with pricing straight away so you can compare on the spot.
We strongly believe in the quality of our products and services and our fair and transparent pricing reflects that – we are transparent and authentic.
We are competitive with pricing and there is a value in the quality of product, service and warranty that we provide.
Whilst many window furnishing brands engage in discounted sales to clear excess unpopular inventory or to make-up for underperforming sales, we believe that our products, our team and their service should be appreciated for their quality and craftsmanship rather than marked down time and time again..
Our approach is to provide consistent value and maintain fair pricing year-round without resorting to short sighted sales tactics.
It’s simple really; we only work with quality workrooms who produce superior quality work to others. We have worked with some of these for many years and are confident in their craftsmanship and the materials they use.
We are also very transparent with our warranties for products and services.
Most companies offer a limited 1-2 year installation warranty. Not us! We believe in offering, in the very least, the same timeframe as the product and sometimes more.
Our product warranties vary by product and workroom used. All products have their warranties listed on our product pages, but we also have a dedicated page to our warranties due to this being such a regular question we get, and being one key reason customers choose us over others. |
Absolutely. Our greatest passion is providing our expert advise and consultation on transforming a space. We’ll come equipped with a wide array of samples, ready to help and make suggestions.
Normally between 1 and 3 weeks.
We will have a page on our website shortly which publishes our pricing and lead times by product – so stay tuned.
Your lead times are always stipulated on your quote, and we never over promise – if anything we try and get them in earlier than expected so we can exceed your timeframes.
Absolutely. We work with a number of fabric and component suppliers who assist with this. For example, we work closely with our good friends at Warwick to help support sampling. |
Our warranties start at 15 years and go up to 30 years. Yes, you read that right.
Yes. Aurora warranties are fully transferrable – which is great for the new owners and helps you in the sale process, especially if you’ve just upgraded your window furnishings to help with the sales campaign.
We offer really fair and competitive pricing at all times. We don’t have huge markups due to our low company overheads and owner involvement every step of the way – so we put our best foot forward. We find it’s the most authentic and trustworthy way of consulting with you. |
We accept:
Invoices will be provided for all payment types.
One of our core values is authenticity.
We have nothing to hide and we’re very transparent and upfront.
We take measurements in the home to ensure they fit perfectly, but we then have to apply certain manufacturing ‘deductions’.
The measurements are no secret, so we’re happy to share them, all you have to do is ask.
We’ve never understood why our competitors hide such information as if they don’t trust their measurement accuracy or they don’t like sharing them to be compared for pricing.
We have nothing to hide and as such, we’ve garnered a lot of trust in our community and from our customers as a result.
Yes. The overwhelming majority of our products are made in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide.
Occasionally, like others, if something is not available in Australia – we have to source that from overseas. In fact, we have great love and admiration for the Weinor awning company from Germany.
Yes, our fabrics and designs are specifically manufactured to enhance thermal insulation, significantly reducing energy costs year-round. |
We offer hardwood, sustainable polymer (PVC), and aluminium plantation shutters, each selected for durability, aesthetics, and suitability to the Canberra climate. |
Yes. In fact we support 5 different motor brands, including Becker, Somfy and Acmeda, to suit any weight or style of product. |
That depends on which product and which motor/accessories you choose. We will guide you and help with recommendations based on the size/weight of your product.
Typically, for internal blinds, you can add an additional $150 – $200 per blind.
For awnings, we approximate an additional $200 – $350 per product.
We commit to supporting our partners for the long term. As such, they often protect us from price increases unlike other retailers and design agencies. We’ve worked with a number of them for years and as a result of our loyalty, they limit our price increases.
Price rises are inevitable though. We take the risks in business to honour such a quote timeframe and by keeping our business overheads low, relying on word of mouth and not huge advertising budgets, we can continue to pass on those savings to you.
We ask our teams and our customers which organisations they’d like us to support on their behalf.
Some of our current chosen partners are:
