Frequently Asked Questions
How long do my Custom Blinds® orders usually take?
Most Custom Blinds® orders are made and delivered within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on product and options.
What do you sell online?
We sell indoor blinds and outdoor blinds online, including roller blinds, honeycomb blinds, and SheerWeave outdoor blinds.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes. We offer free delivery anywhere in South Africa for online orders.
How do I measure correctly?
Use a steel tape and follow our guide. Inside mount fits inside the window recess. Outside mount fixes to the wall or frame and should extend past the opening for better light block and privacy. See our measuring and installation guides at customblinds.co.za/howtomeasure and customblinds.co.za/howtoinstall.
Can you help me choose the right blind?
Yes. We help you select the right product based on light, privacy, durability, and budget requirements.
What if my blind does not fit?
If it is too big, you can return it for a free cut-down and pay only the courier. If it is too small, we will remake it with a further 5% discount.
Do you install?
Yes. We measure and install across the Garden Route and surrounds. Online orders include clear instructions and remote support is available.
How do outdoor blinds handle wind?
Follow the manufacturer guidance. In high wind, keep blinds fully down and locked or fully up, and retract when very strong winds are forecast. Specific wind ratings depend on model and fixings.
Are corded blinds safe for children and pets?
Modern safety standards favour cordless or secured cord systems. Avoid loose, free-hanging cords and anchor continuous loops. Mount controls at least 1.5 m above the floor.
What payment terms do you use?
Online checkout is simple and secure so we can start processing your order immediately.
Do you remove old blinds?
Yes. For in-person installs we can remove and dispose of old blinds on request.
Can you coordinate with my builder or body corporate?
Yes. We regularly work with builders, designers, and body corporates.
