The workhorse blind for a province that never gives you the same view twice
Sunscreen and blockout roller blinds, made to measure for whatever's on the other side of the glass — a sea view on the Peninsula, a vineyard row in the Winelands, a fairway in the Helderberg, a lagoon in the Garden Route.
Sunscreen, for the window that's the whole reason the room faces that way
A fine mesh — usually 3-5% openness — is what most view-facing rooms across the province end up drawing every afternoon. It keeps the ocean, the vineyard rows or the mountain visible while it cuts the glare and UV that would otherwise bleach a rug or wash out a screen by mid-afternoon. On a hard west or north elevation, sunscreen alone won't stop all the heat, so we'll usually pair it with external shading rather than pretend one interior fabric can do both jobs.
Blockout, for the rooms that need full dark regardless of the region
Bedrooms get a single flat blockout sheet — full dark for an early start, whatever the coast or the vineyard is doing with the light outside. Where one window needs both jobs, a double roller carries blockout and sunscreen fabric on the same bracket, so you draw whichever one the hour calls for.
Every roller is made to the actual opening, not a stock size — chain, spring or motorised control, with a tensioner fitted as standard on anything corded. In Cape Town Metro & the Peninsula, the fabric spec barely changes but the hardware does — powder-coated fixings wherever salt spray reaches, and body-corporate sign-off checked on most apartment stock before an exterior product is quoted.
In the Cape Winelands, the same sunscreen fabric does quieter work on werf and orchard-view glass — mostly glare and UV control, with a heritage check on any window that sits in a gable older than 60 years, since that changes what fixing method we'd recommend.
The view is usually the whole reason the window exists — an opaque blockout on that glass throws away what the house was built for.
