Solutions for Real Life
Shop by Concern
We understand the realities of South African living. Harsh heat. Sudden weather changes. Privacy that disappears the moment lights come on. Outdoor spaces you can’t use half the year.
Choose the challenge you want solved, and we’ll guide you to products that genuinely make your home & space more livable.
We’re always a phone call or WhatsApp away if you’d like guidance choosing the right option.
Shade
Comfortable rooms and patios without the harsh glare or heat. We help you soften the sun so you can enjoy the space and daylight without the discomfort.
Privacy
Feel calm and in control of your home. From bedrooms to street-facing windows, we help you create spaces where you feel relaxed as we match the right blind to the level of privacy you need.
Weather Protection
Wind, rain and coastal conditions shouldn’t decide when you use your patio or braai area. We design outdoor blinds, awnings and structures that keep your spaces usable in our glorious, unpredictable South African weather.
Security
Security
Protect your family, pets and property without turning your home into a fortress. From aluminium security shutters to safety bars, screens and LockLatch — secure doors and windows while keeping light, air and views.
Automation
Control your blinds and awnings with a tap, a voice command, or the sun itself. As Somfy certified experts, we integrate motorisation that’s reliable, quiet, and built to last.
