What a curtains costs in Perth
The relentless Perth sun makes the fabric and lining the heart of a curtains decision. A sun-fast cloth with a quality blockout or thermal lining cuts the fierce heat and glare and resists fading, where a cheaper fabric perishes fast under the strong light, so the cloth grade decides the life of the drape. Labour sits near the national average, so the install rate is not the premium; the fabric and the amount of it are.
Isolation is the practical factor. Specialist and designer fabrics are often freighted in from the eastern states, which adds lead time to anything beyond a local stock range, so ordering ahead matters on a tailored job. The dry Mediterranean climate is kind to fabric, with little of the mould concern of the tropical capitals, so the choice comes down to sun and heat control, and layering a blockout with a sheer is a common way to manage the glare.
