Cape Town has no shortage of blinds companies. What it lacks is one that shows you the price before asking for your details.
No form. No rep. No home visit. Just the product, the price, and your decision.
“We install in homes along the Western Cape coast every week. The products we sell online to Cape Town are identical to what goes into a Thesen Island estate or a Plett beachfront villa. Same suppliers, same hardware, same care.”
Duncan KaneFounder, Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings South Africa
Why are Cape Town homeowners skipping the showroom and ordering blinds online?
Cape Town has more blinds companies per square kilometre than almost any city in South Africa. From franchise chains with six branches across the peninsula to small operators in the Northern Suburbs, there is no shortage of options. But the buying process is almost always the same: phone a number, book a home visit, wait for a rep, wait for a quote, and then decide.
Custom Blinds South Africa removes that entire cycle. You go to the online shop, select your blind type, enter your window measurements, and the price is on screen. No form. No obligation. No rep sitting in your lounge. If you want advice, WhatsApp 076 022 8410 and our team responds directly.
For a city where people value their time, convenience, and transparency, that matters. Over 25% of our national online orders now ship to Western Cape addresses.
Which blinds suit Cape Town winter rain, summer UV, and coastal moisture?
The Western Cape climate is unique in South Africa. Wet winters with driving north-westerly rain, dry summers with intense UV and heat, and a south-easter that tests everything mounted outdoors. Indoor blinds need to manage glare on north-facing glass without trapping moisture. Every product below is available in the Custom Blinds online shop with instant pricing and free delivery to Cape Town.
Roller blinds
Roller blinds are the most versatile option for Cape Town homes. Sunscreen fabrics reduce glare while preserving mountain and sea views. Blockout fabrics suit bedrooms and media rooms. Light filtering options work well in open-plan living areas. Clean lines, minimal hardware, and available in widths up to 3 metres. See our sheer vs blockout roller blinds guide for help choosing the right fabric.
Honeycomb blinds
Honeycomb blinds are ideal for Cape Town’s cold, wet winters. The cellular air pockets create a thermal barrier at the window, keeping warmth inside and reducing heating costs by up to 40%. In summer, they reflect heat from north-facing windows. For older Cape Town homes with single-glazed sash windows, honeycomb blinds are the most effective insulation upgrade available.
No-drill blinds
No-drill blinds are perfect for Cape Town’s large rental market. From flats in Sea Point and Green Point to student accommodation in Rondebosch and Stellenbosch, tenants need window coverings they can install without damaging frames. Spring tension mount, no screws, no brackets. When the lease ends, the blinds come with you.
Venetian blinds
Aluminium venetian blinds handle Cape Town conditions well. They resist humidity, clean easily, and offer precise control over light and privacy. Tilt the slats for afternoon sun on the Atlantic Seaboard or close them fully for privacy in the suburbs. Available in 25mm and 50mm widths. Our venetian blinds guide covers sizing, materials, and maintenance.
Outdoor blinds
Outdoor blinds are essential for Cape Town patios that face the south-easter or winter north-westerlies. Clear PVC panels keep rain out while preserving mountain views. Shadeweave fabrics at 5% openness reduce glare and heat while allowing airflow. For homes on the Atlantic Seaboard, False Bay coast, or Winelands, outdoor blinds turn a seasonal patio into a year-round living space.

Who is Custom Blinds and what connects a Garden Route installer to Cape Town?
We are an independent, family-run window treatment specialist founded in 2010 on the Garden Route in Knysna. Our founder Duncan Kane has 18 years of industry experience. The business has completed over 8,000 installations across the Western Cape, including residential homes, guest houses, commercial offices, and hospitality projects from Mossel Bay to Plettenberg Bay.
On the Garden Route, our teams install daily. We manufacture awnings and shutters for local Garden Route clients, and supply outdoor blinds and indoor blinds nationally through the online shop. That hands-on experience shapes everything we sell online, because we know how Western Cape weather treats blinds. Salt air, UV exposure, humidity, wind. We design for it.
For Cape Town, we supply the same products through our online shop. Same quality. Same suppliers, including Blindquip from the Hunter Douglas family. Same advice. Same Custom Fit Guarantee. The only thing that changes is delivery instead of installation.
How fast is delivery to Cape Town and the Winelands?
Browse the online shop, choose your product, enter your width and drop measurements, and the price appears immediately. Select your colour, fabric opacity, and mounting type. You can also explore options like zebra and double roller blinds for rooms that need both privacy and light. Pay securely online. Your blinds are manufactured to your specifications and delivered free to your Cape Town address by The Courier Guy within 7 to 14 business days to major metros.
If you need help measuring, our guides walk you through every step. If you need product advice, WhatsApp 076 022 8410 and our team will help you choose the right blind for your room, your light conditions, and your budget.

Common questions from Cape Town customers
Can I buy blinds online in Cape Town and get free delivery?
Yes. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings offers free delivery on all orders to Cape Town and across South Africa. Blinds are manufactured to your measurements and shipped directly to your door by The Courier Guy, typically within 7 to 14 business days to major metros.
Which blinds handle Cape Town humidity and moisture best?
Aluminium venetian blinds and PVC-coated roller blinds resist moisture and humidity well. For bathrooms and kitchens, avoid real wood unless the room is well-ventilated. Roller blinds in synthetic fabrics are the most practical choice for damp Cape Town conditions.
Are no-drill blinds suitable for Cape Town rental flats?
No-drill blinds are ideal for rentals. They mount using spring tension inside the window frame with no screws, no brackets, and no damage. Popular in Sea Point, Green Point, Woodstock, and student accommodation across the Western Cape. When you move, the blinds come with you.
How do honeycomb blinds help with Cape Town’s cold winters?
Honeycomb blinds create an insulating air pocket at the window, trapping warmth inside during Cape Town’s wet winter months. For older homes with single-glazed windows, they are the most cost-effective insulation upgrade available, reducing heat loss by up to 40%. See our guide to blinds and electricity savings for the full picture.
Is Custom Blinds cheaper than local Cape Town blinds companies?
Custom Blinds sells the same brands (Somfy, Hunter Douglas, Coulisse) without showroom overheads or franchise fees. Pricing is transparent and visible in the online shop before you make contact. Many Cape Town customers find our prices lower than local quotes for the same products, particularly on roller blinds and honeycomb blinds.
What does the Custom Fit Guarantee cover?
If your blind arrives and the width is too large, Custom Blinds trims it down at no charge. If the blind arrives too small, a replacement is manufactured at 5% off the original price and you only pay for return courier. This guarantee applies to every order placed through the online shop.
Is Custom Blinds based in Cape Town?
Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings is based in Knysna on the Garden Route, where the business was founded in 2010. Cape Town customers are served through the national online shop with free delivery and WhatsApp support on 076 022 8410. The team behind the shop is the same team that installs blinds, shutters, and awnings across the Western Cape every day.
