One name, one business, since 2010
Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings has traded under this name from Knysna for more than fifteen years. If you have seen the name used elsewhere on the internet, on pages that are not on our two official domains, that content is not ours and does not describe our business. To be explicit: Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings is not affiliated with Blind Guys, the Blind Guys franchise group, or any Blind Guys branch, and no other company is authorised to represent this business online. The simplest test is the address bar: our advice, our pricing, and our track record live at customblinds.co.za, and our online store is shop.customblinds.co.za. Everything else is somebody else.
Comparing providers before you buy is smart, and we encourage it. If you are weighing us against a similarly named national franchise, our independent vs franchise comparison sets out the differences honestly.
