In 2017, Adam Perakovic came up to the Burdekin for what he thought would be a quick visit to his parents. That short trip turned into a permanent move—one that saw him meet his future wife and business partner, Randall, and build from scratch one of North Queensland’s most successful window covering manufacturers: Blinds2U.
“It started off as just me—I was doing small installs on my own with the help of my dad and father-in-law,” says Adam. “Then we expanded, it all started to grow, and now we manufacture cyclone-rated roller shutters right here in the Burdekin.”
The only cyclone-rated shutter manufacturer in Queensland to date, the team of four prides themselves on their 99% Australian made products.
Alongside two ranges of roller shutters, Blinds2U also offers a selection of roller blinds, slide tracks, outdoor blinds, roller doors, plantation shutters and more—with installation.
Serving the Burdekin since 2019, Blinds2U has managed to build a solid reputation in the region.
“Turnaround time used to be three days—now it's up to three months because of demand,” says Adam.
That community support has been one of the most rewarding parts of the journey for the Perakovics.
“People are amazed we actually make the products ourselves. At the start, they didn’t believe it—so we kept the shed wide open. People used to come in just to watch us build roller shutters,” Adam says.
Randall, who eventually joined Blinds2U full-time after working in her brother’s plumbing company, added:
“The support from locals is massive. The people here are very easygoing. That’s the best part.”
In addition to shutters, the team also specialises in custom roller blinds—offering practical, stylish solutions for homes and businesses alike.
