Curtains near the bay don't age the same way they do further inland. Strong western sunlight off the lake and salt in the air cause fabric to deteriorate more quickly than it would in a typical suburban setting. Colours fade, weave weakens, and a curtain that would have lasted well elsewhere begins to appear worn out years earlier. It's a pattern we see often enough in Frankston that it shapes what we actually recommend, rather than defaulting to whatever's most popular elsewhere. Australian Window Covering regularly installs curtains across Frankston, so we know which fabrics actually hold up here, with free in-home measure and quote visits generally booked within days.

A lot of Frankston's beachside apartment blocks have smaller rooms and narrower window bays than a typical house, and that changes what actually fits well. A bulky double-roller system or a shutter can feel oversized in a compact room, whereas curtains sit flatter against the wall and take up less visual space, without giving up on light control. It's a simple fit consideration, but one that comes up constantly in apartment jobs specifically, where every bit of room depth matters more than it would in a larger house.
Along Frankston's foreshore strip, several restaurants and dining venues have opted for curtains over blinds in their front-facing windows, mainly to manage glare off the water during lunch service without losing the view entirely. A sheer or light-filtering curtain softens the light rather than blocking it out, which suits a dining room better than a fully closed blind would. We fit these the same way we handle any home, with free measure and quote and manufacturing that holds up to the same bayside conditions.
Sheer curtains are in high demand for glare-prone, water-facing spaces that want comfort without sacrificing perspective.

Blockout curtains work well in bedrooms that need to be really dark despite intense afternoon sun.

Double curtains allow apartments and living rooms to move between the two without requiring a second fitting.
View Double CurtainsWe generally measure and quote in the same visit, so there's no waiting around for a callback with a number. Fabric recommendations are based on what actually holds up to bayside conditions, not just what looks good on a sample card. Every work is backed by our price-match promise and up to a 10-year warranty on selected ranges.
Our curtain fitting work covers the Mornington Peninsula just around the coast, where the same salt air and glare considerations apply even more so, as well as Clyde, further inland in the growth corridor, where the fabric concerns are different but the same free measure and quote standard applies. If you’ve got family or friends in either area, we’re happy to quote multiple properties together. We also provide and install blinds in Frankston itself for anyone wanting both under the one job.
Are your curtains looking tired from the sun, or does your dining room need softer light? Book a free measure and quote with Australian Window Covering and we'll come to you, wherever in Frankston you are — apartment, house, or waterfront venue.
