Choosing curtains is easier when you can hold the fabric beside your sofa and see it in the light that actually reaches your room. The rest of the order deserves just as much attention: who measures, where the track sits, how the covering opens and what the supplier will do if the finished piece is wrong.

Sedar UAE and Dubai Blinds both offer a route from consultation to made-to-measure window coverings for Dubai homes. Sedar has a configurable online catalogue alongside its consultation service. Dubai Blinds brings samples to an in-home appointment and quotes for the selected treatment. Those differences matter when you are trying to compare a displayed price with a complete fitted order.

This guide was checked on 13 November 2026 using the suppliers' published information. We have not used their measuring or installation services ourselves. The comparison focuses on the buying process, actual product options and after-sales conditions, rather than a tested ranking of workmanship or fabric performance.

Two ways to begin a custom order

DetailSedar UAEDubai Blinds
Starting pointFree measurement or design consultation; online product configuration also availableFree in-home appointment with fabric and style samples
Specific options examinedBeige FR1001C sunscreen roller blind, Protect Plus collectionEasy Wave curtains and roller-blind range
Price basisConfigured example on 10 November: AED 330 for 90 × 130 cm, manual operation, without valanceRoom-specific quotation; no verified installed price used here
Installation distinctionFree delivery and installation advertised for curtains and blinds within serviced areasMeasuring and fitting service advertised; confirm the selected order's full scope
Return distinctionOnline custom-order returns concern defects and specified errors, not a preference trialObtain cancellation and alteration terms with the quotation; no verified general return window established
Warranty distinctionObtain the exact product and fitting coverage for the orderSignature lifetime warranty has registration, component and service-cost restrictions

Neither route gives you a meaningful whole-home budget until the windows and specification are recorded. A roller blind, a lined curtain and a motorised track are different purchases. Compare quotations for the same rooms and functions before deciding which total suits you.

Sedar UAE: combine a home measurement visit with a configurable catalogue

Sedar's UAE service page offers free measurement and design consultations, followed by manufacturing, delivery and installation services. Its published UAE contact number is 800 73327, with wecare@sedarglobal.com for support.

The measurement service is useful if you want the supplier to take the final dimensions. The page says its team visits once the consultation is confirmed and can help with ordering online or through a branch. Request the visit for the windows you intend to cover and establish which measurements will be used in the final order.

Bring the room's practical requirements into that discussion. A bedroom may need a different treatment from a living room where you want daylight and a view. Show where a window opens, how you reach the handle and where furniture might obstruct a curtain when it is drawn back. These details help turn a fabric choice into a workable specification.

A specific roller-blind example: FR1001C in beige

The checked Sunscreen Roller Blinds — Beige product, item FR1001C, belongs to the Protect Plus collection. On 10 November, the options panel showed AED 330 for 90 cm width × 130 cm height, quantity one, manual operation and no valance. The listing still showed a starting price of AED 330 on 13 November. Confirm the selected options and installed total before ordering.

That example gives you a price tied to an actual configuration. It is still a small single-blind example, not a price per room, a universal square-metre rate or the cost of covering full-height apartment glazing. A different width, drop, control system or finishing option can produce a different total.

The same panel displayed AED 881 extra for motorisation and AED 122 extra for a valance. Treat these as the published options for that checked product, rather than supplements that apply to every Sedar blind. If you want an automated system, establish the motor, controls and power arrangement in the order before comparing totals.

The panel also says a Somfy TaHoma switch device can be purchased separately. Do not assume that a motorised blind price automatically includes every smart-home accessory or the integration you have in mind. Ask which controls will be supplied and how you will operate the blind on the first day.

Check the fabric and the finished coverage separately

The selected product is a sunscreen roller blind. It should not be treated as a blackout specification simply because both products can look similar when photographed. Ask to see the actual sample in your room and discuss the level of light filtering and privacy you want at different times of day.

The options panel notes that, for an outside-mount installation, the fabric is 4 cm narrower than the overall rail width. That is a useful detail to discuss with the measuring team. The rail dimension and the visible fabric coverage are separate parts of the fit.

Ask the consultant to record the mounting position and intended coverage, including how the blind relates to the window handle and frame. If you are adding curtains in front of it, include both layers in the discussion. You want each treatment to move as intended without discovering after fitting that one interferes with the other.

This guide does not assign a tested heat reduction, cooling-cost saving or UV performance percentage to the product. A material claim and the result in a particular room are different questions. For the purchase, start with the exact fabric, its documented specification and the coverage the supplier proposes.

Delivery and fitting: the serviced-area condition matters

Sedar's live product panel advertises free delivery and installation for curtain and blind orders within serviced areas. It also shows delivery in three to four days, with a notice that additional days or costs may apply depending on the delivery area and will be shown before confirmation and payment.

Use those statements as the starting offer, then confirm the address and selected configuration. A displayed delivery estimate does not reserve a fitting appointment or establish that every custom option has the same production time. If you need the room ready for a particular date, have the supplier confirm the making and installation sequence for the actual order.

Explain building access requirements before the appointment is arranged. Ask whether the agreed fitting includes the track or blind hardware you selected and whether removing existing fittings is part of the work. Keep any extra work and charge visible in the order rather than assuming that every site task is included in the banner offer.

The online return policy concerns defects, not a home trial

Sedar's online return and refund policy says its blinds and curtains are custom-made and that refunds or exchanges are offered for defects. It lists material or workmanship defects, malfunction and an incorrect size caused by a Sedar production error among the eligible circumstances.

A claim must be submitted within seven days of receiving the order. The policy sets condition and packaging requirements and makes exceptions for products received defective. This is not a seven-day period for deciding that an otherwise correctly supplied fabric or colour no longer suits the room.

The page describes assessment and repair or replacement at Sedar's discretion, alongside refund provisions for qualifying returns. Obtain the remedy for your issue through the claim process rather than treating the page as an unconditional cash-refund promise. Its three-to-five-day UAE replacement processing period follows approval; it is not the standard production time for every new order.

Before buying, ask how a measurement or fitting problem will be handled and record who supplied the final dimensions. A production-size error is specifically mentioned in the policy, but that does not answer every possible dispute about customer-supplied measurements or a change made after approval.

Keep the warranty with the chosen specification

A numerical warranty period for this exact configured blind was not established from the checked product information. Ask for the period and coverage for the fabric, mechanism and fitting, and for the separate motor terms if you select motorisation. A defect return window and a longer product warranty serve different purposes.

Sedar’s official October 2026 curtain-making reel shows fabric being handled at a sewing machine. It adds context to the curtain-making service; it does not establish the selected blind's specification, price, delivery date or warranty.

Dubai Blinds: choose samples at an in-home appointment

Dubai Blinds offers free in-home appointments in Dubai, with advisers bringing fabric and style samples. The company describes a measuring-to-fitting service for made-to-measure blinds, curtains and shutters. Its published toll-free number is 800 3688759.

The website gives its headquarters as Area M6, Unit 010, SAIF Zone, Sharjah. That is not a Dubai showroom address. For a Dubai home, the advertised route is the home appointment; establish the visit arrangement through the supplier before travelling to an office or warehouse.

This approach may suit you if the appearance of several fabrics in the room will determine the choice. Prepare the windows you want to discuss and a realistic budget for them. The appointment can then focus on a workable selection rather than moving through every possible style without an agreed purpose.

Easy Wave curtains: decide how the whole treatment will sit

The supplier's Easy Wave curtains page offers this heading style within its made-to-measure range. The checked page does not establish a fitted price, exact fabric composition or completion time for a room. Those details belong in the quotation for the curtains you choose.

Ask to see the heading and track arrangement alongside the fabric. Discuss how the curtain will look when closed and how much space it occupies when opened. If the curtain is intended to finish close to the floor, have that finish recorded so the measuring and making teams are working toward the same result.

A room with a sheer and a heavier curtain needs both layers specified. Record the fabric reference, colour, lining, heading and track for each layer. A quotation that simply says “curtains” leaves too much room for two different interpretations of the intended result.

Bring maintenance into the fabric decision. Ask for the care instructions for the actual selection, rather than assuming that every curtain in the range can be washed or cleaned in the same way. This also matters to after-sales coverage, which excludes damage caused by improper cleaning.

Roller blinds offer a different choice of light control

The roller-blind range includes blackout, translucent and sunscreen options, along with printed and plain designs. Choose the fabric category around the room's function, then examine the actual sample and the proposed fit.

For a bedroom, discuss the whole installed treatment and light at the edges as well as the fabric itself. For a work area, show the adviser where your screen sits and what you want to change about the light. A fabric category helps narrow the choice, but does not establish a measured result in your home.

Dubai Blinds’ official printed-blind image from November 2026 shows a sailboat pattern in a blue bedroom. It illustrates a design direction. The post is not evidence of a particular fabric code, current price, blackout rating or safety certification.

Keep that distinction if you use a photograph as a reference during the appointment. Identify the available fabric sample and ask for its details on the quotation. A similar-looking print can still have a different material, finish or light-filtering specification.

Read the Signature lifetime warranty before relying on the headline

Dubai Blinds publishes specific lifetime warranty terms for its Signature custom-made products. The coverage concerns manufacturing defects in materials, mechanisms and components, with repair or replacement at the supplier's discretion. It does not automatically establish that every product or component in your quotation has lifetime coverage.

The terms require online registration within 30 days of ordering and an invoice or original sales receipt for service. They state that the warranty is non-transferable and exclude shutters. If Signature coverage is important to your choice, have the eligible product identified and complete the registration within the stated period.

Motors are excluded from this guarantee and may have their own warranty. Ask for those separate terms when comparing a motorised system. The fabric treatment and the motor should not be represented by one broad lifetime label on your own comparison sheet.

The policy also excludes costs associated with transport, removal, remeasurement and reinstallation. A covered product fault may therefore still involve service costs. Establish how a claim would be handled at your address before treating the guarantee as a promise of free on-site attendance for life.

Other exclusions include normal wear, sunlight-related fading and damage from misuse or improper cleaning. For discontinued styles, the supplier may use the closest available replacement and does not promise to replace an entire matching set because one item is defective. The policy also says the guarantee is not carried over to a replacement product.

Agree the custom-order changes and fitting date in writing

The checked website's Terms of Use page mainly addresses privacy and website use. It does not establish a general customer cancellation deadline or preference-return period for a custom order. Ask for the purchase conditions with the quotation, particularly the point after which fabric, size or colour changes incur a cost.

No fixed production-to-installation period for the selected curtains or blinds is verified here. Have the supplier confirm it for the actual materials, quantity and controls. If a motor or special fabric has a different lead time, that should be clear before you approve the order.

The website advertises measuring, fitting and quotation services, but the final order should still identify everything included. Record the treatment for each window, any removal work, controls, fitting and taxes, followed by the total. This lets you compare the quotation fairly with Sedar's configured example or another measured proposal.

Approve one clear specification for each window

Before giving approval, match the quotation to the samples and measurements you agreed. Each window should have an identifiable treatment, fabric reference, colour, lining if applicable, finished dimensions, mounting arrangement and control method. Keep the expected completion and fitting dates with that record.

On fitting day, open and close the coverings with the team present and check that the supplied controls work as agreed. Record any issue and the proposed resolution promptly. Retain the invoice, care instructions and warranty registration details together so a later question can be tied to the exact order.

Sedar provides an online configuration route with a concrete single-blind price example. Dubai Blinds provides an appointment-led route and detailed Signature warranty conditions. The better fit for your home depends on the chosen treatment, the complete installed cost and the responsibilities recorded before the fabric is cut.
