Roller Blind Fabrics We Fit
The fabric does the work, so we help you match it to the room and its aspect:
- Sunscreen (solar) fabrics — woven openness of 1%, 3%, 5% or 10%. A 3–5% sunscreen cuts glare and blocks most UV while keeping the view out — ideal for north- and west-facing rooms that catch the afternoon sun.
- Dim-out and translucent fabrics — soften light and add privacy for living areas and kitchens.
- Blockout fabrics — for bedrooms, media rooms and shift workers who need it dark. See our dedicated blockout blinds page.
Manual or Motorised
Standard roller blinds run on a sidewinder chain with a child-safety tensioner. For large spans, hard-to-reach windows or a clean, cordless look, we also fit motorised roller blinds with Somfy or Louvolite motors, including battery and solar options that keep working through load-shedding.
Why Roller Blinds Suit Cape Town
The Cape’s high UV index fades furniture and flooring fast; a solar-screen roller blind is the cheapest way to protect an interior while keeping the view of the Mountain or the sea. Their flat, slim profile also handles the south-easter better than louvered blinds because there are no slats to rattle.
