Camps Bay · Cape Town
Made-to-measure blinds, motorised shading and salt-air rated hardware for Camps Bay’s glass-fronted homes — fitted to face the ocean, not fight it.
No two elevations here face the Atlantic the same way. Every product below is made to measure, per window — pick what suits the room and we’ll confirm the rest at the free measure.
Blockout, sunscreen or double day/night fabric that keeps the Atlantic view without the afternoon glare.
Explore
Align the bands for a sea view with privacy, offset them for full coverage once the lights go on.
Explore
Powder-coated aluminium that shrugs off salt air, tilted to steer light off the water at any hour.
Explore
Trapped air cells that buffer a west-facing glass wall against sea-driven afternoon heat.
Explore
The practical answer for wide sliding walls onto the deck — tilt for light, draw fully clear for the view.
Explore
Fabric drops from a slim ceiling slot, so the glass stays uninterrupted when the blind is up.
Explore
Tensioned systems that hold flat on an angle — for the gable ends and roof glass this coastline loves.
Explore
Remote, app, sun sensor or wind sensor — one button for an entire wall of glass.
Explore
Heat and glare stopped at the glass, before the Atlantic sun ever reaches the room.
Explore
External shading for exposed glazing, built to take the south-easter while it kills the glare.
Shading, not security. Our roller shutters are made for sun, heat and glare control on the outside of the glass. They are not security-rated shutters — that is a different product, which we can quote on request.
Explore
Retractable shade over the deck, with a wind sensor that retracts it before the south-easter gets serious.
Explore
Zipped side channels that hold tight in real wind — the outdoor room that doesn’t flap in the doctor.
ExploreBefore you pick a single blind, read our window-by-window guide to shading on this coast — how the west-facing Atlantic glare, the salt air and the summer south-easter change what belongs on each elevation, with honest product trade-offs both ways and a free per-window budget tool.
Glass-walled lounges, bedrooms that wake up to the ocean, and decks built for a sundowner — this is what made-to-measure, salt-air rated shading is for.
Camps Bay is defined by its view — contemporary villas built almost entirely of glass toward Lion’s Head, the Twelve Apostles and the ocean beyond. That’s a dramatic outlook, but it also means more window than most suburbs ever have to dress, and every one of those panes faces the weather the Atlantic seaboard actually produces.
Salt-laden sea air, direct westerly glare off the water, and the south-easter funnelling down off the mountain all shape what we specify here. None of it is solved by a standard blind off a shelf — it’s why every Camps Bay quote starts with an on-site measure, not a phone estimate.
No online measuring tools, no guesswork — every window gets a real consultant with a tape measure before a single fabric is cut.
Chat, form or call — tell us the rooms, the product interest, and how exposed your glass is to sun, wind or salt.
An expert consultant visits with samples, measures every opening precisely, and checks hardware specification against your position on the seaboard.
Made-to-measure pricing per window, every option itemised — no surprises when the invoice arrives.
Manufactured to order and professionally installed, level and tested, with an operation demo before we leave.
Based in Camps Bay, working right along the seaboard.
Yes — it’s standard here. Powder-coated aluminium components and sealed cassettes on exterior products handle salt air far better than untreated hardware. Even so, we’re honest that marine-spec fittings still benefit from an occasional fresh-water wipe-down this close to the ocean — we’ll cover that at the measure.
Sunscreen roller fabric at 3–5% openness is usually the answer — it cuts glare and UV while keeping the outline of the view. Lower openness blocks more heat and glare but shows less through the fabric, so we help you weigh that trade-off room by room at the measure.
We specify exterior products with a genuine wind rating, and a wind sensor for automatic retraction is the responsible spec on any exposed deck or terrace — an awning or screen caught open in a strong south-easter can be destroyed. We’ll flag exposed positions at the free measure.
Yes. Chain and cord tensioners anchoring the loop taut to the wall are standard on our installs, wand-tilt and cordless options are available for nurseries and kids’ rooms, and motorisation removes cords and chains entirely — ask about child-safe controls for any room.
Across the range — rechargeable battery motors suit a retrofit without wiring, wired motors suit a renovation, and app, schedule or sun/wind sensor control can be added to any of it. On Camps Bay’s biggest glass walls, motorisation is often the only practical option anyway.
Everything is made to order, so timing depends on the product and how much is on the order — your written quote will confirm the lead time for your specific job rather than a generic estimate.
Free in-home measure, a written per-window quote, and hardware specified for salt air and wind from day one.
