The Best Blinds for an Office
- Vertical blinds — the classic office choice for large windows, partitions and ground-floor privacy; hard-wearing and easy to replace slat by slat.
- Sunscreen roller blinds — cut monitor glare while keeping the outside view and natural light; available in different openness factors for more or less shade.
- Aluminium venetian blinds — a crisp, precise look for boardrooms and street-facing offices with fine light control.
Office Window Blinds for Screen Glare & Heat
Glare on screens is the number-one office complaint. A sunscreen roller with the right openness factor knocks down harsh light and solar heat without blacking out the room, which keeps staff comfortable in north- and west-facing Cape Town offices that take the full afternoon sun. Lower heat load also eases the air-conditioning bill.

- After-hours & weekend fitting — we install around your business hours to avoid disrupting staff.
- Offices, complexes and body corporates — consistent blinds across a whole floor or building.

Office Blind Prices in Cape Town
Office blinds are priced the same way as domestic ones — per square metre for roller and venetian, per blind for motorised — but a floor of identical windows is more economical per window than a house of different ones. As a guide, supplied and installed:
| Blind type | Indicative price | Usual office application |
|---|---|---|
| Sunscreen roller | R450 – R900 per m² | The default for screen glare |
| Blockout roller | R550 – R1,000 per m² | Boardrooms and projector rooms |
| 25 mm aluminium venetian | R400 – R700 per m² | Fine angle control, hard-wearing |
| Vertical | R400 – R750 per m² | Wide spans and full-height glazing |
| Motorised | R2,500 – R6,000 per blind | High or inaccessible glazing |
Bulk pricing applies across a floor or a building, and installation can run after hours so the office is not disrupted. We quote per window after a free on-site measure — the full table is on blinds prices Cape Town.
Openness Factor: 1%, 3%, 5% or 10%?
A 3% sunscreen fabric is the general-purpose office specification, and a 5% where the view matters more than the glare. Openness factor is the percentage of the fabric that is open weave rather than yarn, so a lower number means a tighter weave, better glare control and less outward view.
| Openness | Glare control | Outward view | Office use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1% | Highest | Restricted | West-facing desks, harsh afternoon sun |
| 3% | High | Good | The general-purpose choice |
| 5% | Moderate | Very good | South-facing and view-first offices |
| 10% | Low | Excellent | Shaded aspects only |
Fabric colour matters as much as the number: a charcoal 5% fabric controls glare noticeably better than a white 5%, because pale yarn scatters light forward into the room while dark yarn absorbs it. For a room of monitors, dark fabric at 3% is the specification that works. More detail in our guide to the blind fabric openness factor.
