At Sunteca we’ve been investing heavily in our Roller Blind Department with the goal to reduce costs and improve efficiency and output. We’ve purchased new machinery and technology, enhanced our manufacturing methods and adjusted the factory layout to secure significant gains in our manufacturing times. From a stocking perspective we’ve committed to bulk purchases of all fast moving fabric ranges. For many of the slower moving ranges we’ve moved away from the, ‘cut length’ model, to buying by the full roll.
The resulting efficiencies have given us good reason to re-cost our roller blinds and the savings achieved are being passed directly onto our customer base in the form of new roller blind price lists. The new prices will be effective as of Thursday 3rd July, 2014. The vast majority of our fabric offerings will see a reduction in price ranging from 5% to 30%, with bigger blind sizes receiving a bigger percentage reduction in price.
Examples include:
Ibis: 7% Reduction (average across the price grid)
Bricos Scarborough Blockout: 10% Reduction (average across the price grid)
Bricos Sunshadow: 27% Reduction (average across the price grid)
Wilson Concorde Blockout: 17% Reduction (average across the price grid)
If you have any questions with regards to the prices please don’t hesitate to contact the office.

We recently decided to bring to you a new range of finely crafted blind fabrics: the Four Families collection. Four Families is a new brand of Australian-designed blind fabrics, brought to you by a team of textile fanatics and supported by its sister brands Maurice Kain, Zaab & Sekers. A number of designs are woven and coated in Australia using beautiful Italian yarn. Four Families replaces what used to be known as Filigree blinds. Read more…
In this months newsletter we write about the fallacy regarding the thickness and strength of Venetian blind slats. The misconception is that the .21 slat is stronger than the .18 slat which Sunteca uses. This seems easy to believe, as something that is thicker should naturally be stronger, but the reality is that our slat has the same tensile strength of any .21 slat on the market. We have specifically purchased special roll formers to suit our slat which we use on all our machines. This gives our slat more curvature resulting in superior strength. Read more…
Once again we have highlighted the absolute necessity to install cord restraints as per the legislation on all internal and external blinds. You have previously been sent copies but if you require another, please contact the Sunteca office. Please ensure your installers are fully aware as to what is required. It is not optional, it is mandatory.
Our newest addition to the Sunteca fabric is the Cascade Range. This fabric is Australian Made and has a shimmer to it, also quite a soft handle for dual sided patterned fabric. The Cascade Range is available for Roller Blinds up to 2420mm wide and Vertical Blinds 89mm and 127mm.
It’s hard to believe that one month has already passed us… We take this opportunity to introduce our newest member of the Sunteca team, Eddie Robless, who has joined us in our internal sales department. One of Sunteca’s strengths is the culture to promote staff within the company, we were delighted that Eddie has decided to take on new opportunities and challenges after working in our factory previously for about a year. The opportunity of ‘promotion from within” is often overlooked by many companies when looking for new staff, this has been encouraged by our company for many years with great success.
