Roller Blinds

Made-to-measure roller blinds for homes and offices in Pretoria East & Centurion, from see-through sunscreen to total blockout

Clean, Simple Light Control

A roller blind is one flat panel of fabric that rolls neatly up and out of the way. Its clean, contemporary lines suit almost any interior, from a minimalist apartment to a busy open-plan office.

Every blind is cut to fit your window exactly. Pick a fabric for the light and privacy each room needs, choose a cassette or the classic roll-only finish, and decide how you want to operate it: by chain, with spring assist, or with a motor.

  • Made to measure up to 3000 × 3000mm
  • 8 fabric ranges from sunscreen to blockout
  • Cassette or roll-only finish
  • Chain, spring assist or motorised
  • Day-night option with two fabrics in one blind

Choose Your Light Level

Roller blind fabrics fall into three groups. Start with how much light and privacy you want, then pick a range and colour.

Sunscreen

Cuts glare, heat and UV while keeping your view. The lower the openness percentage, the more privacy you get.

Solar Weave · Solar Supreme · Solar Luxury

Light Filtering

Filters daylight into a soft glow. Rooms stay bright, but you can't see in or out.

Oxford · Maple · Essence

Blockout

Stops light completely for total privacy. Ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, TV rooms and boardrooms.

Ambient Blockout · Doris

"Can be turned" means the fabric can be rotated (railroaded) so a blind can be made wider than the roll without a join. The drop limit applies when it is turned. Colours on screen may differ slightly from the real fabric, so ask us to bring samples to your consultation.

Roller Blind FAQs

What is the difference between sunscreen, light filtering and blockout roller blinds?

Sunscreen fabrics cut glare and heat while you can still see outside. Light filtering fabrics let soft light through but you cannot see in or out. Blockout fabrics stop light completely, which suits bedrooms, TV rooms and boardrooms.

How big can a roller blind be?

Most of our fabrics go up to 3000mm wide by 3000mm high. Solar Supreme goes up to 2500mm wide, Maple up to 2800mm and Oxford up to 2300mm. For very large windows we can split the opening into two or more blinds.

Can roller blinds be motorised?

Yes. Any of our roller blinds can be fitted with an Ambient motor or a Somfy battery-operated motor, controlled by remote, app or voice assistant. Battery motors keep working during load shedding.

What is a day-night roller blind?

A day-night roller blind combines a blockout fabric and a sunscreen fabric in one fitting, so you can use the sunscreen during the day and the blockout at night.

Should I choose a cassette or a roll-only roller blind?

A cassette hides the roll behind a neat cover with a matching fabric insert for a finished look. Roll-only is the classic, minimal option where the fabric roll stays visible.
