How quotes diverge
The meaningful spread between these providers usually comes from product tier, not just installer margin. Premium shutters, smart controls, and larger custom openings widen the gap faster than straightforward roller or vertical blinds.
Luxaflex has clearer depth in Premium Roller Blinds, Duette Honeycomb Blinds, Motorised Roller / Smart Blinds, which can matter if you want one provider to cover the full brief.
Kresta stands out more in Roller Blinds (Standard), Timber Venetian Blinds, Roman Blinds, which is worth weighting if those products are central to your project rather than optional add-ons.

Blinds & curtains comparison FAQ
Kresta is the lower average-cost option in this comparison, with about a 34% gap across tracked products. That advantage is usually strongest on standard window furnishings rather than premium shutters or smart-blind setups.
Luxaflex is the stronger premium shortlist if your brief includes motorisation, more complex measuring, or a finish-sensitive renovation. Higher-end projects usually reward the provider with the better product depth and fit consistency, not just the cheaper average ticket.
Not fully. Luxaflex has the broader footprint in this comparison, so metro coverage and after-sales convenience may differ if you are outside the core east-coast capitals.
Compare custom versus ready-made supply, install scope, fabric grade, motorisation, and lead time. The cheapest quote often excludes the exact finish level or hardware that makes the more expensive quote look higher at first glance.
