FAQs
What are the blinds made from?
Our blinds are made from industrially-compostable materials, consisting of corn starch PLA (Polylactic Acid) and PBAT (Polybutyrate Adipate Terephthalate, a compostable ingredient that bonds the renewable ingredients together).
Unlike petroleum-based plastic, cornstarch material is compostable and renewable, making it an excellent choice for an eco-friendly material.
The material is tough and flexible.
Because of the thickness to create blackout, they need to be industrially composted at the end of their life.
How long do they last?
Due to the durable nature of the material, our blinds can be used over and over, thousands of times. Because they are industrially compostable, they need the perfect composting environment to break down.
There may be some chipping in the ink over time from use and folding. This is due to using water-based ink (no toxins!)
Our blinds have been used daily for almost 3 years and are still strong. NOTE- each blind may be different.
We guarantee our blinds for 3 months (when used according to instructions, no sharp objects etc) with a free replacement.
How do I cover larger windows?

Once you measure your window frames, you can use two blinds to cover larger windows or grab our new larger blinds (by Meeka Collection are 1.5m x 2.5m) Use the adhesive hook and loop to combine the two blinds to create one larger blind. Easy!
You may need to cut to size. If you don't need 2 full blinds, maybe go halves in one with a mate or use the leftover for another smaller window! We have customers who've used cutoffs for their caravans!
Do you ship Worldwide?
Yes, we do!
Can they adhere to painted surfaces?
Yes and No. Unfortunately, we can't recommend adhering the adhesive to a painted surface. In saying that, I have! But I don't mind the paint coming off eventually. It's worth it to me. We have customers who check with landlords first as they may have some spare paint to touch up once you move out. NOTE- it will definitely take the paint off at some point.
We only recommend adhering to aluminium window frames. NOT the window. We cannot guarantee there will be no residue left behind. If there is, you can simply use coconut oil to rub it off!
How long does shipping take?
We will always dispatch your order within 1-2 days. Once shipped we can not guarantee a time for delivery, however, the average delivery rate is 3.3 days domestically (our products are shipped from different warehouses around the World), and up to 14 business days Worldwide.
Do I need to cut the blinds?
Depending on the shape and size of your blinds you may need to cut to size (simply with scissors). If your blind is only too big one way (either length or width) there is no need to cut, and you can simply fold as shown here in FAQs on Instagram

I just set up the blinds at my mums house! They are seriously so amazing! And can feel them absorbing this hot Vic days! Keeping the room much cooler.
My husband is a shift worker and this has been a game changer. The room is completely dark. Can't see your hand in front of your face during the day with it.
They're up!! She hasn't had day naps for 2 weeks!! And she self-settled
Struggled to get Rosie up this morning for daycare lol. "No mummy it's still dark!!" Then proceeds to roll over and continue sleeping lol. If this was the weekend ... What a dream lol. These blinds are fantastic!
Staying in a hotel room and used travel adhesive to block out street lights in Melbourne CBD! So good thank you
It has been the best option we've tried (and we've tried a lot, including the very $$$ Sleepout curtain). Trust me when I say this thing WORKS!
