How much do curtains and blinds cost in Penang?

Roller blinds cost RM 8-25 per sqft, day-night (zebra) blinds RM 15-35 per sqft, and fabric Roman blinds RM 30-60 per sqft. Curtains are usually quoted per window at RM 250-1,200 each. A typical 3-bedroom condo fully fitted out lands between RM 2,500 and RM 9,000.

How much does it cost to motorise blinds in Penang?

Motorisation adds RM 350-900 per blind for the motor and remote, or RM 1,200-2,500 for a hub that ties several blinds into a phone app or voice control. A motorised curtain track adds RM 500-1,200 per window.

What blinds work best for west-facing windows in Penang?

West-facing units in Gurney, Tanjung Bungah, and the Bayan Lepas high-rises take direct afternoon sun from about 3pm. Blackout roller blinds or a sheer-plus-blackout curtain pair cut heat gain and protect flooring from fading. A single sheer layer is not enough on these windows.

Why do quotes for blinds vary so much per square foot?

A real per-sqft rate must include the track, brackets, valance, and the installation visit. Quotes also differ on opacity, since blackout, dim-out, and light-filtering are different products at different prices, and on the minimum charge per blind, which is usually 6-9 sqft regardless of window size.
