We quote, supply and arrange professional installation throughout Cape Town and the Western Cape. Every product is made to measure — nothing off the shelf.
South Africa's building energy standard, SANS 10400-XA:2021 (Ed 2), regulates solar heat gain through glazing for good reason: glass is where summer heat enters. External shading intercepts that heat before the glass; quality interior blinds add an adjustable second layer. The result is a cooler home and less air-conditioning load — comfort you can feel and running costs you can measure.
Openness-factor fabrics (3–5%) that cut glare and heat while keeping your view and daylight. The specifier’s choice for view-facing glass.
Full darkness for bedrooms, media rooms and nurseries — clean lines, made to measure, chain or motorised.
Motors, remotes, timers and sun/wind sensors — run a single blind or the whole home from your phone. We are Somfy specialists.
Broad sliding fabric panels for big openings and room division — a clean modern alternative to curtains.
The full range — every blind type, awnings, external venetians, Somfy motors and Glydea curtain tracks — is on the main Blind Solutions site.

For view windows: sunscreen roller fabric (3–5% openness) — it cuts glare and heat while you keep the outlook. For the most exposed elevations, external shading (louvres, awnings or screens) stops the heat before it reaches the glass, which no interior blind can match.
