History
A1 Blinds was founded by Peter Bott Snr in 1958 under the original name of Deluxe Blinds.
The business originally operated from home in Clayton but soon grew, requiring larger premises. It moved into the first Factory/ Showroom in Westall Road, Westall and then onto Centre Road Clayton. To accommodate the continual growth, a factory was built in 1984 at 1 Olive Street Clayton, where it remains today as the home of A1 Blinds. During the late 80s, sons Peter and John assumed the ownership and running of the business. In 1992 John left the business leaving Peter as the sole owner. The next few years saw a directional change. Moving away from being both a wholesale and retailer to just a retailer. Peter, very focussed on customer service, identified that customers wanted improved times for quotes, manufacturing and installation.
Today A1 Blinds offer some of the fastest turn around times in the industry and has still maintained a reputation for quality, service and competitive prices.
We have become the largest retailer of Canvas Sun Blinds in Melbourne and offer an extensive range of products to suit most applications. We continue to look for new products and services to best service our customers.
