Why Buy Indoor Blinds From Custom Blinds
Most online blind shops in South Africa are resellers. They list products from a supplier catalogue, take your order, and ship a box. If the blind does not fit, you are on your own.
Custom Blinds operates differently. We run a full installation service on the Garden Route, which means every product we sell online has been fitted, adjusted, and tested in real homes. When you order a roller blind from our shop, the specification comes from 15 years of hands-on fitting experience, not a product sheet.
We supply Hunter Douglas and BlindQuip products, South Africa’s benchmark indoor blind manufacturer. Our automation range runs on Somfy and MotionBlinds by Coulisse, with full smart home integration including Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa.
What sets us apart from other online blind shops:
Installation experience: 8,000+ blinds fitted since 2010. We know what works and what fails.
Custom Fit Guarantee: Too big? Free trim. Too small? 5% off your replacement. No other online blind shop offers this.
No-drill options: Tension-mount systems for rentals, new builds, and aluminium-frame windows. No adhesive strips.
Somfy accredited: Most online sellers are not Somfy certified. We are, with trained installation on the Garden Route.
Blind Builder: Visualise your blind in your window before ordering. Custom to your measurements.
Indoor Blind Types We Supply
Every blind listed below is available for nationwide delivery through shop.customblinds.co.za. Garden Route customers can book an in-person consultation with Duncan for professional measurement and installation.
Roller Blinds
The workhorse of South African window coverings. Available in sheer (light-filtering), sunscreen (UV-blocking with a view), and blockout (total darkness). All fabrics are UV-tested for South African conditions.
Honeycomb Blinds
Cellular structure traps air for thermal insulation, reducing heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. The most energy-efficient blind type available in South Africa. Available in single and double cell.
Zebra / Double Roller Blinds
Also called day-night blinds. Two fabric layers alternate between sheer and solid panels, giving you precise light control without lifting the blind. Popular for living rooms and bedrooms.
Aluminium Venetian Blinds
Precision-cut aluminium slats for tilt-and-angle light control. Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and offices. Moisture-resistant and easy to clean. Available in 25mm and 50mm slat widths.
Wooden Venetian Blinds
Real wood, aluwood, and plaswood venetians for warm, textured interiors. Genuine basswood slats offer a premium natural finish. Aluwood gives you the timber look with aluminium durability. Plaswood (faux wood) is moisture-resistant, ideal for kitchens and bathrooms where real wood cannot go.
Not sure which blind? Preview it first.
Our Blind Builder lets you select your fabric, enter your measurements, and see exactly what your blind will look like before you order. No fabric samples needed.
No-Drill Indoor Blinds
Renting? New build with perfect walls? Aluminium window frames you cannot drill into? Our tension-mount systems hold by controlled spring pressure inside the window recess, with no screws, no adhesive, and no frame damage.
No-drill is available on roller blinds and venetian blinds. This is the only no-drill method we specify and support. We do not use adhesive strips, suction cups, or magnetic systems.

Which Blind for Which Room
Different rooms have different demands. Here is what we recommend based on 15 years of fitting blinds in South African homes.
Bedrooms
Blockout roller blinds or honeycomb blinds for complete darkness. Add Somfy motorisation for scheduled wake-up routines. Nurseries need child-safe cordless operation.
Living rooms
Zebra blinds for adjustable light. Sheer rollers for soft filtered light while keeping the view. Double rollers (sheer + blockout) for ultimate flexibility.
Kitchens
Aluminium venetians. Moisture-resistant, easy to wipe down, and provide tilt-angle light control. Avoid fabric blinds near cooking areas.
Bathrooms
PVC shutters or aluminium venetians. Both resist humidity and salt air. Never install bamboo, wood, or fabric blinds in wet rooms.
Home offices
Sunscreen roller blinds reduce glare on screens while keeping natural light. Honeycomb blinds add insulation to reduce aircon costs during long working days.
Nurseries
Blockout honeycomb blinds for daytime naps. Cordless or motorised operation is essential for child safety. No chains, no cords, no risk.
Motorised Indoor Blinds
Every roller blind and honeycomb blind we sell can be motorised. We supply two systems:
Somfy is the global leader in motorised window coverings. Quiet operation, precise positioning, and integration with smart home systems. Custom Blinds is a Somfy accredited installer on the Garden Route.
MotionBlinds by Coulisse offers battery-powered motors that require no wiring. Connect via Bluetooth or the MotionBlinds app. Compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings.
Motorisation removes cords and chains entirely, making it the safest option for homes with children and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best indoor blinds for South African weather?
Roller blinds with UV-rated fabrics work in most rooms. For coastal homes, avoid untreated wood and choose aluminium venetians in wet areas. Honeycomb blinds are best for temperature control in bedrooms and studies.
Can I get blinds without drilling?
Yes. Our tension-mount systems hold by spring pressure inside the window recess. Available on roller blinds, double roller blinds, and venetian blinds. No holes, no adhesive, no frame damage. Ideal for rentals and aluminium windows.
Do you deliver blinds nationwide?
Yes. All indoor blinds are available for free delivery anywhere in South Africa through shop.customblinds.co.za. Garden Route customers can also book professional installation.
What warranty do you offer on indoor blinds?
5-year warranty on all indoor blinds. Plus our Custom Fit Guarantee: if the blind is too big, we trim it free. If it is too small, you get 5% off the replacement. No other online blind shop in South Africa offers this.
How do I measure for indoor blinds?
Measure the width and drop of the window recess in millimetres. For recess-fit blinds, measure at three points and use the smallest. For face-fit blinds, add 50mm overlap each side. Full instructions on our measuring guide.
What is the difference between blockout and sunscreen roller blinds?
Blockout fabric is fully opaque with zero light transfer, ideal for bedrooms. Sunscreen fabric blocks UV while maintaining a view through the window, ideal for living rooms and offices. Read our sheer vs blockout comparison.
