A One Curtains and Blinds makes and installs blinds in White Rock, along with curtains, plantation shutters and security and insect screens. Living next to a big stretch of bushland changes what a home needs at the window, so screens usually come into the conversation early. We measure and quote for free, and we bring full-size samples so you can see them in your own light.
Building next to the bush
White Rock is in the City of Ipswich, on the Ripley Valley side of Springfield. For years hardly anyone lived here. That's changing: the Whiterock estate is planned for around 2,300 home sites, and new streets and houses started going in on the southwest side in 2025.
The north of the locality is the White Rock-Spring Mountain Conservation Estate, more than 2,500 hectares of council-managed bushland with ridges, escarpments and rocky outcrops. Ipswich City Council describes it as home to over 600 plant species and 150 animal species. It's a great thing to have over the back fence. It also means insects, wildlife and a lot of outdoor living, and your windows and doors should be set up for that.
Screens before soft furnishings
In a new build, it's worth sorting the screens before the curtains. Here's how we usually think about it.
Insect screens
Bush-edge homes get more moths, mosquitoes and flies once the lights go on. Fixed or hinged insect screens on windows let you keep them open on warm nights. Screen doors do the same job on sliders to the patio.
Pet mesh
Standard insect mesh doesn't last long against a dog that wants to go out. Pet mesh is much tougher and resists claws and pushing, so it's our go-to for back doors and any window a cat likes to sit in.
Security screens and doors
For ground-floor doors and windows, security screens and doors let you leave things open for a breeze without leaving the house open. We make heavy-duty and diamond grille styles with welded corners, in hinged and sliding doors plus fixed or hinged window screens.
Choosing blinds in White Rock
Once the screens are decided, the blinds are easier. A few pointers from homes like these:
- West-facing rooms: sunscreen roller blinds cut the late glare and you can still see the trees.
- Bedrooms: blockout rollers or double rollers, because early light comes up fast when there's nothing across the road.
- Wet areas: moisture-resistant PVC plantation shutters, from $250 per square metre.
Sheer curtains for an outlook you want to keep
If your living area faces the bushland, covering it with a solid blind feels like a waste. Sheer curtains filter the light and give a bit of privacy while the view stays readable. Upstairs windows looking over the valley are a good spot for them too. Pair them with blockout on the same track if you need the room dark at night.
Our White Rock project
The photos further down this page come from a home we fitted out in White Rock. It's our own team's work in the suburb, so you can see the finish and fit on a real new build before you book anything. There's more on our projects page.
A sensible order for fitting out a new home
- Book a free measure once the windows and doors are in. Handover or just after is fine.
- We measure every opening and go through screens and blinds in the same visit.
- You get one written quote covering both.
- We make everything in our Hillcrest workshop.
- Our own team installs screens and window coverings, so there's no juggling two trades.
