Window Blinds Cape Town supplies, installs and repairs made-to-measure window blinds across the whole metro, from about R450 to R900 per square metre supplied and installed — roller, blockout, venetian, wooden and motorised blinds for any room. Most orders are measured within 24 to 48 hours and fitted in 7 to 14 working days. Free on-site measure and quote: call 081 411 8471.
Made to measure means each blind is manufactured to the measured opening rather than cut down from a stock size, so no two orders are interchangeable and a firm price needs an on-site measure rather than a phone estimate. What then decides the blind is the fabric’s openness — how much light the weave lets through — and the operation: chain, cord, wand or motor.

What Each Window Blind Type Costs
Every blind is made to measure, and the choice comes down to the room and the window. Roller and blockout blinds run from about R450 to R900 per square metre supplied and installed, aluminium venetians from R400 to R700, timber and faux-wood from R900 to R1,800, and motorised blinds from R2,500 per blind.

|---|---|---|
| Roller blinds | The all-rounder — any room, sunscreen or blockout fabric | R450 – R900 per m² |
| Blackout blinds | Bedrooms and nurseries, full darkness | R550 – R1,000 per m² |
| Venetian blinds | Precise light control, 16 – 63 mm slats | R400 – R700 per m² |
| Wooden blinds | Living rooms and bedrooms, 50 – 63 mm slats | R900 – R1,800 per m² |
| Vertical blinds | Sliding doors and wide spans | R400 – R750 per m² |
| Roman blinds | Soft fabric folds in dry rooms | R900 – R2,200 per window |

What Cape Town Does to a Blind
The same blind behaves differently on either side of the mountain. What decides whether it still works in five years is less the fabric than whether it was specified for the conditions at that window — the summer south-easter, salt air, the Cape’s UV, and winter condensation.
| Cape Town condition | What it does to a blind | What to specify |
|---|---|---|
| Summer south-easter | An open window with a free-hanging blind in front of it slaps against the reveal until the bracket works loose. | Chain tensioners and hold-down brackets; vertical blinds across wide sliding doors. |
| Salt air (West Coast, Atlantic Seaboard, Gordon’s Bay and Strand) | Salt attacks the metal — clutch, chain, brackets and screws — long before it reaches the fabric. | Aluminium blinds with rust-resistant fittings; faux-wood in place of basswood. |
| High UV, north- and west-facing rooms | Afternoon sun fades furniture, flooring and fabric. | A 3–5% openness sunscreen roller blind — cuts glare and most UV, keeps the view. |
| Winter condensation | Timber and basswood swell and stain; fabric holds the moisture long enough for mould to take. | Aluminium or PVC faux-wood, which are unaffected — see wooden blinds. |
| Load-shedding | A mains-wired motor stops with the power. | Battery or solar motorised blinds, which store their own charge. |
Which of these actually applies depends on where you are in the metro; each region page sets out what changes about a blind there.
