Frequently Asked Questions

A roller blind is a single sheet of fabric that rolls up and down. A zebra blind has two alternating layers — one sheer, one opaque — so you can switch between a clear view and full privacy without raising the blind. Zebra blinds cost slightly more but give far more control over daylight.

Most blinds are fitted within 3 to 4 days of order confirmation. We measure on the first visit, make the blinds to size, and install on the agreed date. Large or motorised orders can take up to a week.

Yes. Royal Decor provides free site visit and measurement anywhere in Surat, including Vesu, Piplod, Adajan, Althan and City Light. We bring fabric samples so you can see the shades in your own light.

Yes. Sun control film blocks a large share of solar heat before it enters the room, so the air conditioner reaches its set temperature faster and cycles less. The saving depends on how much glass you have and which direction it faces — west-facing glass shows the biggest difference in Surat.

Yes. The film is applied directly onto your existing glass from inside the room. Nothing is broken or replaced, there is no civil work, and most homes and offices are finished in a single day.

Quality sun control and frosted film lasts 5 to 10 years indoors depending on grade and sun exposure. It does not need maintenance beyond normal glass cleaning — avoid abrasive scrubbers and ammonia-based cleaners.

Good quality vinyl-coated wallpaper lasts 8 to 10 years indoors. Humidity is only a problem on walls with active seepage — we check the wall for dampness during measurement and will tell you if it needs fixing first, because no wallpaper holds on a wet wall.

Yes. Send us the image on WhatsApp and we will check whether the resolution is high enough for your wall size, then show you a preview before printing. Phone photos usually work up to about 6 feet wide.

Measurement on day one, printing takes 2 to 3 days, and installation of a single wall takes 2 to 4 hours. A full room is normally complete within 5 to 7 days of order confirmation.

Yes. Vinyl, laminate and carpet tiles are all laid over existing tile or stone flooring, provided the surface is level and dry. We check level during measurement and apply a levelling compound only if a specific area needs it.

Vinyl flooring itself is waterproof, which is why it suits kitchens, clinics and homes with children. Laminate wooden flooring is water resistant rather than waterproof — standing water should be wiped up rather than left.

A single room is usually complete in one day and can be used the same evening. A full flat of 1,000 to 1,500 sq ft typically takes 2 to 3 days including skirting and threshold finishing.

For most homes, yes. PVC is installed dry in a day with almost no dust, never needs painting, resists moisture, and can be removed and refitted. POP gives a seamless look and takes complex curved shapes better, but it means a week of mess and repainting every few years.

A PVC or soffit panel ceiling typically drops the ceiling by 3 to 4 inches. A grid ceiling drops 6 to 8 inches because it needs clearance above for ducts and wiring. We measure your existing height during the site visit and tell you exactly what you will lose.

Yes — PVC panel ceiling is the right choice there. It is waterproof and does not sag, stain or flake the way POP and gypsum do in a humid space.

Re-upholstery typically costs a fraction of a comparable new sofa, because the frame — usually the most expensive part — is reused. The exact figure depends on the fabric grade and whether the foam needs replacing. We quote after seeing the sofa.

Most sofas are collected, stripped, re-foamed, re-covered and returned within 3 to 4 days. Large L-shape sets and jobs with heavy structural repair can take up to a week.

Leatherette wipes clean and suits homes with small children. Velvet and suede look richer but hold dust and need regular vacuuming. Linen and textured weaves sit in between. We bring samples so you can feel each one before deciding.

A pigeon net has a wider mesh and is built to stop birds — it is fixed across the balcony opening with anchor fittings. A mosquito net has a very fine mesh in a sliding or pleated aluminium frame and stops insects. They solve different problems and are often fitted together.

No. The mesh is thin and UV-treated, so from inside it is barely noticeable, and air passes through freely. That is the main reason people choose it over closing the balcony in.

Invisible grills use closely spaced stainless steel cables under tension, anchored into the structure. They are designed for child and pet safety and do not rust. An iron grill is heavier and blocks both view and light, which is why most new flats in Surat now choose invisible grills.

Yes. Most of our commercial fit-outs in Surat are done in the evening, overnight or over a weekend, and we work in sections so part of the floor stays usable throughout.

Yes. Flooring, ceiling, blinds, glass film and green walls come in one written quotation with one timeline and one point of contact, which is the main reason commercial clients come to us rather than appointing separate vendors.

Site visit within 24 to 48 hours of your call, quotation within 2 working days, and work usually begins within a week of confirmation depending on material availability.
