“A two-window blinds job in George never justified the call-out, for us or for the customer. The shop fixed that. Exact price in two minutes, made to measure, delivered free. And when George needs shutters, awnings, or a full patio, we still come to you.”Duncan Kane Founder, Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings
Custom Blinds is the Garden Route’s own blinds manufacturer, based in Knysna just along the N2 from George. Outdoor blinds are assembled at the Knysna workshop. Hardware, fabric, and componentry are sourced from Somfy, Hunter Douglas, Coulisse, and Blindquip, then cut to your exact width and drop. Indoor roller, honeycomb, venetian, and no-drill blinds are made to your measurements through the same supply chain that supplies retailers nationally. For George indoor blinds buyers we removed the part that adds cost without adding value: the call-out. No waiting for a consultation between installation runs, no quote that arrives days later. The price you see in the shop is the price.
For a small indoor blinds job, a consultation visit rarely pays for itself, on either side. Browse the online shop, choose the fabric, enter the measurements, and see the price in minutes. The same components, manufactured the same way, without the wait.
Manufacturer-direct, made on the Garden Route. Same Somfy motors. Same Hunter Douglas honeycomb. Same Coulisse rollers. Different price because there is no call-out or showroom overhead built into it.
The traditional buying cycle for blinds in George is the same as everywhere else: book a consultation, wait for the visit, wait for the quote. For shutters, awnings, and full outdoor projects, that process earns its keep and we still run it ourselves. For a bedroom roller blind or a kitchen venetian, it is overkill.
Custom Blinds removes that cycle for indoor blinds. Go to the online shop, select your blind type, enter your width and drop, and the price appears on screen. No form. No appointment. No deposit before you see a number. If you want guidance before ordering, WhatsApp 076 022 8410 and our team responds directly.
A growing share of our online orders now comes from our own Garden Route back yard, and George is a large part of that.

George sits between the Outeniqua mountains and the coast, with rain in every season, cold winters, humid air, and intense summer UV. The right blind has to manage moisture as well as light. Every product below is available in the Custom Blinds online shop with instant pricing and free delivery to George.
Honeycomb blinds are the highest-performing thermal product Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings supplies for George. The cellular structure traps a layer of air between the window and the room, reducing heat transfer through glass by up to 78 percent in summer. The 25mm cell suits standard residential windows in Heatherlands and Denneoord. The 45mm cell handles the larger living-area glass common in Kraaibosch and Le Grand estate homes. Blockout fabric is the bedroom specification, combining winter insulation with the most blockout of any blind type. Both cell sizes ship in duotone and blockout fabrics. See the honeycomb energy guide for thermal performance data.
Three roller blind types cover most George specifications. Blockout rollers deliver complete darkness for bedrooms. Sheer rollers filter glare in living areas without closing the room off. Screen rollers in 1, 3, 5, and 10 percent openness keep the view while cutting UV transmission, the standard fit for home offices and sea-facing rooms across George and Wilderness. Read the blockout roller guide for the bedroom specification, or the honeycomb vs roller comparison if you are choosing between the two.
No-drill blinds mount with spring tension inside the window frame. No screws, no brackets, no damage to the architrave. They suit George’s rental market, from Nelson Mandela University student accommodation to townhouse complexes in Heather Park and Pacaltsdorp, and they are ideal for holiday homes in Wilderness and Herolds Bay. When the lease ends, the blinds come with you. Shop no-drill blinds or read the no-drill 2026 guide for the current product range.
Coastal air is the deciding factor for venetians in George. Salt and humidity punish untreated timber and lesser quality hardware, so material choice matters more here than inland. 25mm aluminium venetian blinds are the standard residential fit, light, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean. 50mm aluminium venetian blinds suit larger windows and double-volume living rooms. 50mm basswood venetian brings real-wood warmth, best kept to dry rooms away from sea-facing windows. Bamboo venetian blinds offer a sustainable, lightweight alternative with natural grain variation. Aluwood (fauxwood) venetian blinds mimic real wood with a moisture-tolerant core, the coastal-safe wood look. Plaswood venetian is the bathroom and kitchen specification, fully moisture-resistant where real wood would warp. See the aluminium venetian product page or plaswood venetian page for full specifications.
Zebra blinds alternate sheer and opaque stripes on a single fabric, controlled by one chain. Pull the chain to align the opaque stripes for privacy or the sheer stripes for daylight. Duo roller blinds are two separate blinds on a single headrail, typically a blockout layer behind a sheer layer, giving full independent control. Both work well in George living rooms where the same window needs privacy in the evening and garden views through the day.
Outdoor blinds protect George patios from winter rain and summer sun. Clear PVC panels keep the weather out without blocking the view, and Sheerweave shade fabrics cut heat without killing airflow. George is home territory for our installation team: see outdoor blinds George for supply-and-install, or WhatsApp Duncan on 079 523 5407 for a design consultation.

Installer’s Notes
These notes come from installing across George every week, not from a catalogue. Position decides the specification before style does.
| Position | What we specify | What fails here |
|---|---|---|
| Sea-facing and Wilderness coast | Screen rollers in 5 percent openness, aluminium or plaswood venetians, PVC and stainless componentry. | Untreated basswood and zinc-plated hardware. Salt air corrodes lesser quality fittings within seasons, not years. |
| Cold-winter rooms, shade side | Honeycomb for insulation, blockout rollers for bedrooms. The cell structure earns its keep in George winters. | Single-layer sheers as the only covering. They do nothing against winter heat loss through the glass. |
| Bathrooms and kitchens | Plaswood or aluwood venetians, fully moisture-resistant. | Real timber and fabric verticals. George winter condensation warps wood and marks fabric. |
| West-facing afternoon sun | UV-stabilised blockout, zebra, or duo rollers with the blockout layer doing the work. | Dark, unlined budget fabrics. They fade unevenly and radiate heat into the room. |

For shutters, awnings, and outdoor projects in George, the consultation still happens in person: WhatsApp Duncan on 079 523 5407.

The cellular structure traps warmth inside through cold, wet winters and reduces heat transfer in summer by up to 78 percent (per testing published by Coulisse, in line with US DOE research). Available in 25mm and 45mm cell sizes, in duotone and blockout fabrics. For bathrooms and kitchens, plaswood and aluwood venetians resist the moisture that warps real timber on the coast.

We can, but most George customers no longer pay for it. Indoor roller, venetian, honeycomb, and no-drill blinds are designed for self-installation and take 15 to 30 minutes per window with basic tools. A call-out for a small blinds job adds cost without adding value, so the shop prices exclude it. The Custom Fit Guarantee covers any measurement errors.
Yes. George is part of our home installation territory. Shutters, awnings, outdoor blinds, and full patio projects are consulted, manufactured, and installed by the Custom Blinds team. WhatsApp Duncan on 079 523 5407 to arrange a design consultation.
Custom Blinds sells the same international brands, including Somfy, Hunter Douglas, and Coulisse, without a consultation visit built into the price. Pricing is visible in the online shop before you make contact, so you can compare for yourself before deciding.
Yes. Custom Blinds carries Somfy and MotionBlinds automation. You configure your blind in the shop, select motorisation, and the finished blind ships free to George. The specification knowledge comes from a team that installs motorised systems across the Garden Route every week.
If your blind arrives and the width is too large, Custom Blinds trims it down at no charge. If the blind arrives too small, it is remade at a reduced price and you pay the return courier. This guarantee applies to every online order.
