Aspect Living

Aspect Living (formerly Aspect Blinds) presents a comprehensive range of New Zealand–manufactured window coverings positioned for residential and commercial use — information relevant to co‑living operators assessing durability, maintenance, and tenant comfort. The company, established in 2009 and owned by Expol Limited, manufactures a dozen+ blind styles in a dedicated Auckland facility and distributes through an approved retailer network of over 400 outlets across NZ. All products are supplied made-to-measure and delivered to local retailers, with many retailers offering measurement and installation services. Product coverage and suitability - Interior blinds: roller blinds (blockout, sunscreen/light‑filtering, patterned), Venetian (wood, aluminium, PVC, bamboo), honeycomb (thermal cell structure), vertical blinds (180° slat tilt), and motorised roller blinds (battery powered, timer functions). The site highlights specific use-cases: blockout rollers for shift workers and bedrooms, sunscreen for glare reduction and outward view, PVC Venetians for wet areas (bathrooms and kitchens), and honeycomb for added thermal insulation and energy efficiency (38 colour options). - Outdoor solutions: Quatro Exterior Shades designed to protect against rain, UV and insects, with four types including a motorised option — relevant for shared outdoor amenity spaces. - Shutters: made-to-measure interior louvre shutters in multiple materials (basswood, polymer, aluminium, cedar, paulownia) and product lines such as Ecosmart, Supaspan and Uno, with downloadable brochures available. Operational and warranty considerations - Local production and support: Aspect emphasises local manufacturing, a modern Auckland production facility, and retailer support including technical training — factors that can affect lead times, repairs and warranty handling for shared‑housing portfolios. - Warranty framework: the site states warranty terms such as 3 years for Venetian blinds, 5 years for roller blinds, and 3–7 years for roller blind motors, and claims industry-leading warranties for shutters. These warranty periods are relevant when comparing lifecycle costs and service commitments in co‑living settings. Design and specification options - Fabric and design choices include patterned collections (Impressions and Sweet Dreams), a wide palette for honeycomb and other fabrics, and material choices for shutters to match diverse interiors and moisture-prone zones. Motorisation is available to centrally control multiple shades, which may simplify operations in communal areas. Purchasing pathway - Aspect products are sold exclusively through approved retailers; the website provides a retailer map and a “Find a Retailer” form for quotes. The company also invites retailers to join its network, offering support and training. For co‑living operators, the site highlights product variety, local manufacture, technical support, custom sizing and a defined warranty structure—key factors when evaluating window treatments for durability, tenant comfort and ongoing maintenance.
