About Us
Our company prides itself on being locally owned and operated for over 60 years.
In that time, Coffs Harbour Blinds and Awnings has established itself as one of the area's most respected and reliable manufacturers with a reputation for quality and excellence second-to-none.
The business was established in 1964 by Bill & Joyce Jeff with a staff of three, supplying venetian blinds, window awnings & screen doors. Now, 60 years later Coffs Harbour Blinds & Awnings has grown to a staff in excess of 50 and we manufacture and distribute a wide range of quality window coverings and home improvement products.
The majority of our products are manufactured from our factory at 2 Hi-Tech Drive, Toormina. Our Luxaflex Window Fashions Gallery is also at this address and offers the most exciting display of Window Fashions products on the North Coast.
