Which blind types actually work here (speaking from 15 + years experience)
Outdoor drop-down blinds
These are the most common choice for patios and decks. They give shade and privacy and protect against light drizzle. Duncan can explain the openness and what that allows through in relation to view/airflow and moisture.

Roller blinds (sunscreen sheer or blackout)
Roller blinds are neat, inexpensive and easy to keep clean. Sheer fabrics reduce glare and heat while keeping the view.
Blackout rollers are the simple answer for bedrooms where dark really matters. They are low fuss and easy to repair. They even come printed with designs now
Aluminium Venetian blinds
Aluminium slats are light, strong and quick to clean. They don’t warp like timber and work well in kitchens, bathrooms and sun-facing rooms.
If you want a modern look and minimal upkeep, these are a good choice. We also have Aluwood that makes a statement. They look like wood but are as durable as the aluminium they are made of.

Wood-look or engineered timber venetians (Plaswood)
Real timber looks beautiful but can warp if untreated. Engineered or treated slats keep the timber look with far less maintenance a good compromise for living areas.

Motorised or manual blinds?
Motorised blinds are convenient, especially for large windows or high places. For outdoor systems insist on wind sensors so the blind retracts automatically in strong wind.
Manual systems are cheaper and often easier to maintain. Think about how often you’ll operate the blind and whether the convenience justifies the cost.
Maintenance that keeps blinds working for longer
Small regular care prevents most problems. Rinse outdoor fabrics with fresh water occasionally to remove salt and grit. Dust interior blinds monthly.
Check brackets and screws twice a year and replace corroded fixings early. For motor issues call a qualified installer rather than forcing the unit. All clients have service plan options that extend the products life for what is less money than a night out dining at The Knysna Waterfront.
Simple checklist for your measure visit
- Request recent local job photos so you can see finished work in Knysna that has been around longer than 5 years.
- Get a written quote listing product, installation and any extras.
- Confirm the fixings are corrosion resistant and matched to your wall type.

Which blind is best for my room?
For a Living room with big windows and a view: Sheeer roller or Aluminium venetians. For bedroom where sleep matters: blackout roller or shutters.
Patio that needs shelter: outdoor drop-down blinds or louvred awnings. Kitchen or bathroom where cleaning matters: aluminium venetians or PVC shutters.
Matching the product to the room’s use is the single most reliable way to avoid regret.
