Hospitality Blinds, Shutters & Awnings
Reliable window coverings for hotels, guest lodges, Airbnbs and resorts across the Garden Route.
Durable products, coastal-tested installs and annual service to keep your rooms guest-ready.
Why Leading Hotels Choose Us
Hospitality environments are intense. Guests check in early, check out late, open every window, tug every blind and treat mechanisms like gym equipment.
Your window coverings need to survive real-world behaviour from hundreds of people each year.
- Durable hardware built for coastal salt, humidity and high turnover.
- Simple mechanisms that guests can’t break.
- Quick repairs and annual service plans.
- Cost-effective upgrades to modernise rooms and reduce complaints.
“If it’s going to break it will break just before check-in.”
Hospitality teams know this better than anyone. We build and maintain solutions that stay intact, stay safe and stay good-looking no matter the previous guest’s habit of fiddling with things.

How to choose correctly
How to Choose the Right Window Coverings for Hotels, Lodges and Hospitality Spaces
Hospitality environments take more strain than homes. Guests open, close and handle products differently, cleaners work fast,
and coastal weather adds its own pressure. The right choice prevents damage, reduces call-outs and keeps spaces looking fresh
for years.
- PVC indoor shutters: moisture-proof, wipeable and perfect for high-humidity or high-traffic rooms.
- Duo roller blinds (sheer + blockout): the new hospitality favourite for privacy + blackout in one system.
- Zebra blinds: modern look, durable fabric, excellent for offices and reception areas.
- Insect & fly screens: essential for coastal and forested lodges; stops complaints before they happen.
- LockLatch safety latches: prevents wildlife access (baboons), keeps windows open safely for airflow.
- Outdoor blinds: wind-resistant options protect dining decks and smoking areas from weather.
- Louvred or retractable awnings: engineered shade that withstands coastal conditions and sudden gusts.
Choosing correctly upfront saves thousands in repairs and avoids last-minute emergencies when guests check in early
or rooms must turn over fast. We guide managers on what works, where it works, and why.
