The range
Twelve ways to answer a west-facing wall of glass
From a Sea Point apartment's single sliding door to a Clifton villa's full glass frontage, this is the range we measure and fit across the strip — chosen for salt air, wind and a sun that sets straight into the living room.
Zip Screens
Wind-proof mesh that closes a cliffside balcony in without boxing it up.
Explore
Roller Blinds
Blockout or sunscreen, made to measure for every promenade window.
Explore
Roller Shutters
Full heat-kill on the worst west-facing glass, motorised from inside.
Shading, not security. Sun, heat and glare control is what ours are built for. Security rating belongs to a separate product line, priced separately whenever you ask for it.

How we specify across the Atlantic Seaboard
One coastline, one set of physics, eight different addresses
Mouille Point to Llandudno is one continuous strip of west-facing glass under the same mountain wall. The suburb name on the title deed changes; the sun, the wind and the salt in the air do not.
01
Every window here was built for the same sunset
The Atlantic Seaboard faces west and north-west by definition — the orientation the property listing sells is the orientation that puts the low afternoon and evening sun straight into the main glass, worst in midsummer when sunset runs late. Blockout and sunscreen fabric are specified for that hour, not as an afterthought.
02
The Cape Doctor doesn't hit every pocket equally
Cape Town's summer south-easter is funnelled and accelerated by the Twelve Apostles range — Camps Bay and Clifton, sitting directly under that wall, are known locally for gusting harder than the more sheltered stretch around Fresnaye and Bantry Bay. Every exterior product we spec here carries a wind rating; on exposed positions, a sensor retracts it before the gust arrives, not after.
03
Winter comes from the opposite direction
Cape winter reverses the pattern: cold fronts move in from the north-west and hit this coast face-on, since it's the exposed windward side for that system. Genuine horizontal rain and gale-force gusts, not a highveld thunderstorm — a different failure mode to design against.
04
Salt air doesn't check which suburb you're in
Every property on this strip sits within reach of direct sea spray off the Atlantic. Unprotected hardware pits, seizes and fails within seasons; we specify powder-coated aluminium and coated fixings as standard, and we're honest that even marine-spec hardware wants an occasional fresh-water rinse.
Scroll — the sun sets behind the Apostles, the shading responds.
Enclosed against the wind at six, open again by breakfast.
How it works
Four steps, the same across every suburb on the strip
Whether it's one sliding door in a Sea Point apartment or a full glass frontage in Clifton, the process doesn't change.
01
Enquire
Tell us about your windows, the building type and what's actually bothering you — glare, wind, a body-corporate rule — through the form or chat.
02
Free in-home measure
A consultant visits with samples, measures every opening to the millimetre and talks through fabric, wind rating and control options for each room.
03
Written quote
A clear, itemised quote per window or opening — no surprises, and no pressure to decide on the spot. Scale, before that visit: R1,000 to R7,500 a square metre installed covers this strip, interior fabric at the modest end and motorised external systems at the other. Openings under about a square metre carry a minimum. Only the measure produces a precise number.
04
Made & fitted
Made to order and installed cleanly by hand, with the operation demonstrated — motorised or manual — before we leave.
Hardware chosen for salt air, not just a showroom.
About
What this service is, and what it is not
This is a measure-quote-and-fit service for made-to-measure window shading along one stretch of coast: Mouille Point, Green Point, Sea Point, Bantry Bay, Fresnaye, Clifton, Camps Bay and Llandudno. It is not a showroom and there is no catalogue of stock sizes. External venetian blinds, zip screens, roller shutters, roller blinds, day & night, venetian, vertical and panel, cellular, concealed and skylight blinds, folding-arm awnings and motorised control are each manufactured to the dimensions of the opening they are going onto.
How it runs: you send the enquiry, and one of our expert consultants will contact you shortly to book a free in-home measure. On that visit every opening is measured, and fabric, openness, wind rating and control are decided window by window against the aspect and the exposure of your particular address. A written quote follows, itemised per opening, so you can see what each one costs before committing to any of it. Once approved, the order is manufactured to those dimensions and installed, with the operation demonstrated before the team leaves.
Enquiry details are processed under POPIA and used for the call-back and the quote only.
Service area
Four zones along the strip
We measure and fit the full length of the Atlantic Seaboard. These four pages go deeper on the paired stretches with the most different specification stories — the rest of the strip is covered on the same visit.
The full run we cover: Mouille Point, Green Point, Sea Point, Bantry Bay, Fresnaye, Clifton, Camps Bay and Llandudno. Somewhere else nearby? Ask us in the form or chat — the same spec logic covers most of the peninsula's west-facing side.
Questions
Honest answers before you commit
Do you only work in the four areas listed above?
No — those four pages go into extra depth because they cover the most different specification stories on the strip. We measure and fit the full run from Mouille Point to Llandudno, and most of the west-facing peninsula beyond it. Mention your suburb in the form or chat and we'll confirm.
Will an exterior blind or screen survive the wind in Camps Bay or Clifton?
That's exactly the pocket the wind rating is written for. Every exterior product we fit under the Twelve Apostles wall — external venetians, zip screens, awnings — is wind-rated, and on exposed elevations we specify sensor-retract as standard, so it protects itself before a gust arrives rather than relying on someone being home.
I'm in a sectional-title apartment — do I need body-corporate approval?
Usually, yes, for anything visible from outside the unit — an external blind box, an awning, a screen. It's standard sectional-title practice across the city, not specific to us, and it's worth checking before you order. Interior blinds and screens inside the glass line don't typically need it.
Are your roller shutters security shutters?
No. Ours are a shading product — sun, heat, glare and blackout control on the outside of the glass. They carry no security rating. Security shutters are a different product altogether, and we can quote on those as a separate item.
Do you offer child-safe control options?
Yes, on every corded or chained product. Tensioners for cords and chains go on as a matter of course, and in a nursery or a playroom we will push you further — to cordless or motorised control, with nothing left hanging within a child's reach.
How does the process work, from enquiry to fitted blinds?
You reach out through the form or chat on this site, we book a free in-home measure where a consultant brings samples and measures every opening, you receive a written quote itemised per window, and once you approve it your blinds, screens or shutters are made to order and professionally fitted.
