Davistown is flat and low, sitting just above the waterline with the Saratoga ridge behind it and water on three sides. Most of the houses are single-storey. Which means the front windows sit at eye level with the foreshore, the shared path, and whoever is walking the dog past your lounge room at four in the afternoon.
That’s the brief we get here more than any other: privacy at the front without giving up the reason you bought the place. Usually that’s a sunscreen roller or a sheer during the day, with something solid behind it for the evening. What doesn’t work is a single blind trying to do both jobs, and we’ll say so before you spend money on it.
The housing stock varies more than most suburbs on the Coast. Original 1950s and 1960s cottages with small, awkward openings sit next to rebuilds with long spans of glass. Very few of those windows repeat, so everything we supply is measured on site and made to the exact opening rather than cut down from a stock size.
Being this close to the water also decides the hardware. Salt air is hard on brackets, chains and outdoor tracks, so we specify components rated for it and tell you which fabrics hold their colour out here and which ones we wouldn’t put on a north or west-facing window. Adek Blinds & Curtains works out of Kincumber, same postcode as Davistown, a few minutes around the Broadwater.
Every blind is measured on site and made to the opening, which matters in a suburb where the cottage next door and the new build next to that have nothing in common.
The most common answer in Davistown. A sunscreen roller gives you daytime privacy from the path and the water while you can still see out, and a dual roller adds a blockout on the same bracket for after dark.
Still the practical choice for the wide sliding doors onto a deck or a patio, and easy to draw back fully when the door is in constant use.
Wide sliding fabric panels for the long glass spans in the newer Davistown builds, where a run of rollers would look busy.
Alternating sheer and blockout bands on one roller, so a single product moves between filtered view and closed privacy. Worth looking at for a front room where you don't want two separate treatments on the window.
A softer finish for bedrooms and the smaller original windows in an older cottage, where a fabric fold suits the house better than a hard product.
Slats you can angle down to block the sightline from the footpath while still letting light in from above. That trick is genuinely useful on a low-set house.
Curtains handle what blinds can’t: the night-time privacy, the draught through an older cottage, and the softening of a room that’s mostly glass and hard floor.
Sheers filter the light and hold your privacy during the day without cutting the view. They do not give you privacy after dark, when the light inside makes the room visible from the path. That's not a fault, it's just how sheers work, which is why we pair them.
Even, rolling folds on a track for a modern finish across a long wall of glass. We supply Silent Gliss track where the span or the fabric weight calls for it.
A lined blockout does the evening privacy and takes a noticeable amount of heat loss out of an older single-glazed cottage in winter. Bedrooms first if you're staging the job.
On a low-set house the sightline from the path is the problem indoors, and the deck is the problem outdoors. Shutters solve the first without drawing a curtain, awnings solve the second before the heat reaches the glass.
Angle the louvres down and you have privacy from the path with light still coming in over the top, and no fabric to draw. Shutters also suit the smaller original openings in Davistown's older cottages, where a blind can look undersized.
Most Davistown houses live outside for half the year. An awning or a Zipscreen across the deck or the enclosed patio blocks the heat before it reaches the glass and makes the space usable through the middle of summer.
Elevated coastal homes deal with glare, salt air, and strong westerly sun. We recommend fabrics and hardware rated for exactly that.
We won't specify something that blacks out the outlook you paid for. Sheers, adjustable slats, and layered options protect the room without hiding the water.

We cover Davistown and the villages around it, including Saratoga, Yattalunga, Empire Bay, Bensville, Kincumber and Green Point. Alongside blinds and curtains we supply shutters and awnings, so the inside and the outside of the house can be handled by one person.
If you’d rather compare fabrics and operating styles in person first, you’re welcome to visit the showroom at 10d Bilinga Road, Kincumber, by appointment. It’s a few minutes from Davistown and there’s no obligation attached.
Bryn comes to the house with samples, walks each room, checks what the front windows are exposed to, and measures every opening. The samples can stay with you overnight. Written quote back within about a day.
Your blinds, curtains, shutters or awnings are made to the exact openings, with fabric and hardware chosen for the room and the exposure.
We install everything, test each blind and track, take the old product away, and leave the place clean.
Getting new blinds and curtains shouldn’t take months of back and forth. One visit, one written price, one person accountable from the measure through to the install.
A sunscreen roller blind or a sheer curtain will stop people seeing in during the day while you can still see out, which is the balance most Davistown waterfront rooms need. Add a blockout roller or a lined curtain behind it for the evening, when a sheer on its own no longer works.
No. Once the lights are on inside, a sheer curtain becomes see-through from outside. That’s why we pair sheers with a blockout curtain or a second roller blind on the same window rather than selling them on their own.
We specify UV-stable fabrics and corrosion-resistant components for waterfront homes in Davistown, and we’ll point out during the measure which fabrics we wouldn’t put on a north or west-facing window here.
Yes. Older Davistown cottages rarely have two windows the same size, which is exactly why we measure on site and have each product made to the opening rather than trimming a stock size.
Yes. Outdoor blinds and Zipscreen awnings run in side tracks so they hold against the wind off the Broadwater, which turns a filled-in patio into a room you can use through summer.
Yes. We cover the whole peninsula and the suburbs around Kincumber Broadwater, including Saratoga, Yattalunga, Green Point, Empire Bay, Bensville and Kincumber.
Davistown is a few minutes from our Kincumber showroom, so measures are usually easy to book within days. Enquiries get a response within 24 hours.
It depends on the openings, the product and the fabric, so the honest answer comes out of the measure. The measure and the written quote are free and there’s no obligation attached to either.
Yes. Cordless and motorised options remove hanging cords entirely, and we recommend them as standard in family homes.
Bryn brings the sample box to your house, and it can stay overnight so you can see the colours in your own light. You’re also welcome at the Kincumber showroom by appointment.
