Best Blinds in Knysna

What Knysna conditions do to the wrong blinds

Low-grade rails and fixings rust, stain the wall and seize up within a year. Slats that absorb moisture bow within a season. Fabrics that block the view entirely or still allow glare at the worst time of day. Poor measurement that leaves light gaps and makes the blind snag on the frame.

These are not unusual problems. They are what happens when blinds designed for mild, dry interiors are installed in a coastal town where salt, humidity, and UV work together every day.

Custom Blinds specifies corrosion-resistant rails and fixings, moisture-ready slats, and the right openness factor for your specific sun angle. Then we measure with care and fit neatly. As an authorised BlindQuip and Hunter Douglas representative, every component meets the standard set by South Africa’s benchmark manufacturer — not a generic import.

BlindQuip and Hunter Douglas — why it matters

Custom Blinds is an authorised BlindQuip and Hunter Douglas representative. That is not a label — it is a supply chain advantage that no other local Knysna blind company holds.

BlindQuip is Hunter Douglas’s South African subsidiary. Hunter Douglas is the world’s largest manufacturer of window coverings. When you buy through Custom Blinds, your roller blind fabric, venetian slat, honeycomb cell, or shutter louvre comes from the same manufacturing line that sets the benchmark for the industry. Not a generic import. Not a no-name equivalent.

This means tested UV resistance, certified colour fastness, engineered cord-safety mechanisms, and warranty backing from the manufacturer — not just the installer. Nolans retails off-the-shelf. Franchise chains resell catalogue stock. Custom Blinds specifies from the source and installs with our own team.

The Luxaflex range — Hunter Douglas’s premium residential brand — is available exclusively through authorised dealers. If you want Luxaflex in Knysna, you come to us.

Automation that fits your routine

Close at sunset. Open for morning light. Keep hands free. Custom Blinds integrates Motion and Somfy systems for quiet, safe, and simple control by app, remote, or voice.

Motorised blinds are practical for high windows, large panes, and rooms where you want light schedules to run without thinking about them. No dangling cords — safer for children and cleaner lines. See automation options.

Knysna areas we cover

Knysna Central and the Waterfront. Street-facing windows need privacy without losing the view. Double rollers and aluminium venetians are the go-to choices here.

Leisure Isle and Thesen Island. Lagoon-facing windows take sustained salt and moisture. Corrosion-resistant hardware is essential. Aluminium venetians handle kitchen and bathroom steam. Rollers with screen fabric control glare without blocking the water view.

Brenton-on-Sea and Buffels Bay. Direct ocean exposure. Everything corrodes faster here. We specify marine-grade fixings as standard for these properties.

Simola and Pezula estates. Large windows, high ceilings, architectural design requirements. Motorised rollers and PVC shutters suit the scale. Estate guidelines are accommodated.

Sedgefield and Rheenendal. A mix of new builds and older homes. Blinds for renovation projects often need custom sizing to fit non-standard frames. We measure every window individually.
