1956
tiptop blinds was established as a retail shopfront by Max & Bella Kinderman on Glenhuntly Road, Elsternwick. Out of love for the shopfront’s heritage, the name tiptop was adopted as an homage to the original shopfront that was there before them.
1960
Melbourne’s most popular window furnishing choice was 50mm Aluminium Venetian Blinds, and a tiptop blinds premier product.

As Australians became more conscious of sun protection, tiptop blinds began making automatic awnings out of Brella Canvas fabric and were soon manufacturing Folding Arm Awnings of all sizes.
1990
Timber Venetians were a key feature in homes and the most popular choice. tiptop blinds worked hard to keep up with demand for Cedar Venetians. Still a popular choice today, many choose the classic style of white and opt for PVC blinds as an affordable option.
