Dunkeld pairs established, heritage-leaning houses with a steady stream of architect-led rebuilds and additions — a suburb where a period sash window and a frameless glass extension often sit on the same street, sometimes the same house. That mix is exactly why a made-to-measure approach matters more than a catalogue one.
Older Dunkeld homes usually suit warm timber venetian blinds — the "real material" that sits comfortably next to original joinery. New glass boxes and double-volume additions call for concealed and recessed systems planned in with the builder, so the addition reads as glass and nothing else.
Across both, motorised control is a common thread — quiet, cordless, and easy to retrofit into a period home without disturbing the detailing.
Dunkeld's older stands were laid out with north-facing gardens, which is exactly the orientation that turns into a low-angle glare problem in winter rather than in summer. We published everything we know about this suburb's sun in The Hyde Park Light Almanac — the December and June sun angles, which elevations suffer and when, what we'd specify on each with the honest trade-off both ways, and the five things only an on-site measure can settle. It is free, ungated and sourced. If you'd rather have a rough number first, the window ledger at the foot of it turns your own rough sizes into a budget range by the next working day.
If you're mid-renovation, the sooner we see the drawings the better — recess depths and motor power points are far easier to plan before the ceiling closes. If the house is finished, a retrofit specification works just as well; we'll say plainly which option suits your windows at the free measure.
