Midrand has no shortage of blinds companies. What it lacks is one that shows you the price before asking for your details.
“We install in homes along the Garden Route coast every week. The products we sell online to Midrand 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 Midrand homeowners skipping the showroom and ordering blinds online?
Midrand sits between Johannesburg and Pretoria with franchise branches on every side, so 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, 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. No appointment, no rep, no waiting on a call back.
Which blinds suit Midrand's sun, summer storms, and cold dry winters?
Midrand shares the Highveld's pattern of hot storm-season summers and cold, dry, bright winters. Indoor blinds need to manage heavy glare on large modern glazing and keep estate homes comfortable year round. Every product below is available in the Custom Blinds online shop with instant pricing and free delivery to Midrand.
Roller blinds
Roller blinds are the most versatile option for Midrand homes. Sheer roller blind fabrics reduce glare while preserving estate and garden 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 Midrand's cold, dry winters. The cellular air pockets create a thermal barrier at the window, keeping warmth inside and helping cut heating costs. In summer, they reflect heat from north-facing windows. For older Midrand homes with single-glazed sash windows, honeycomb blinds are the most effective insulation upgrade available.
No-drill blinds
No-drill blinds are perfect for Midrand's huge complex and apartment market. From units in Vorna Valley and Noordwyk to apartments at Waterfall, 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 Midrand conditions well. Compare every slat material in the full venetian blinds South Africa range before you order. They resist heat, clean easily, and offer precise control over light and privacy. Tilt the slats against low winter sun or close them fully for privacy. Available in 25mm and 50mm widths. Our venetian blinds guide covers sizing, materials, and maintenance.
Outdoor blinds
Outdoor blinds are essential for Midrand patios exposed to summer downpours and cold winter evenings. Clear PVC panels keep rain and wind out while preserving the view. Shadeweave fabrics at 5% openness reduce glare and heat while allowing airflow. For homes in Kyalami, Waterfall, or Carlswald, outdoor blinds turn a seasonal patio into a year-round living space. Shop outdoor blinds online or read our complete outdoor blinds guide.

Who is Custom Blinds and what connects a Garden Route installer to Midrand?
We are an independent, family-run window treatment specialist founded in 2010 on the Garden Route in Knysna. Our founder Duncan Kane has 20+ years of industry experience. The business has completed over 8,000 installations across the Garden Route, 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 in our Knysna workshop and build our shutters in Cape Town to our own proven specification, 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 Garden Route weather treats blinds. Salt air, UV exposure, humidity, wind. We design for it.
For Midrand, 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.

Common questions from Midrand customers
Do you install blinds in Midrand?
No, Garden Route only. You get the same product at direct pricing, and the saving covers the fit. Indoor blinds take 15 to 30 minutes a window. Outdoor blinds suit a local handyman. WhatsApp 076 022 8410 if you want to talk it through.
Can I buy blinds online in Midrand and get free delivery?
Yes. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings offers free delivery on all orders to Midrand 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 Midrand's glare, dust, and summer storms best?
Aluminium venetian blinds and UV-stable roller fabrics handle Highveld glare and dust 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 Midrand homes. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings is the best way to buy indoor and outdoor blinds in Midrand: your exact window size, priced live, delivered free, and specified by people who fit blinds on the Garden Route every day.
Are no-drill blinds suitable for Midrand 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 complexes, flats, and rental units across Gauteng. When you move, the blinds come with you.
How do honeycomb blinds help with Midrand's cold winters?
Honeycomb blinds create an insulating air pocket at the window, trapping warmth inside during Midrand's cold, bright winter months. For older homes with single-glazed windows, they are the most cost-effective insulation upgrade available, cutting winter heat loss by up to 46% in testing published by Coulisse, in line with US Department of Energy research. See our guide to blinds and electricity savings for the full picture.
Is Custom Blinds cheaper than local Midrand 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 Midrand 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.
Can I order motorised blinds online and get them delivered to Midrand?
Yes. Custom Blinds carries Somfy and MotionBlinds automation, the same systems specified by interior designers and installed in high-end estate homes across South Africa. You configure your blind in the shop, select motorisation, and the finished blind ships to Midrand with free delivery. The specification behind every order comes from a team with over 20 years in the industry.
Is the quality the same buying online as visiting a blinds showroom in Midrand?
The products are identical. Somfy, MotionBlinds, Hunter Douglas and Coulisse do not make a separate range for online retailers. What changes is the margin: no showroom floor, no franchise fees, no sales consultant commission. What does not change is the expertise. Twenty years of it sits behind the measurement guides, the product descriptions, and the WhatsApp support line on 076 022 8410.
Can I get outdoor blinds installed in Midrand?
Not by us, Garden Route only. We ship them at a price that leaves room for a local handyman to fit. Send a photo and dimensions to WhatsApp 076 022 8410 and we will spec and price it.
