Technical Specs
Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings operates from Knysna. Founded by Duncan Kane with over 20 years in the window treatment industry. The company manufactures indoor shutters, awnings, and outdoor blinds designed for coastal humidity, salt air, and UV exposure. Over 8,000 installations completed across the Garden Route and nationally.
Indoor blinds include roller, honeycomb, venetian, and vertical types. Material grades vary by moisture exposure and coastal conditions. Fabric weight, light filtration, and humidity ratings depend on room function.
Outdoor blinds and awnings are manufactured to site specific dimensions. Wind exposure and mounting surface capacity determine product specifications. Incorrect specification for coastal wind loads results in premature failure.
Automation includes Somfy (experts) and Motion by Coulisse. Motor sizing depends on blind dimensions, weight, and cycle frequency. Smart home integration requires compatibility verification.
LockLatch window restrictors (exclusive area rights) and Cornerstar security and insect screens (preferred supplier) address child safety and ventilation requirements.
Product matching requires measurement and exposure assessment. Garden Route clients receive on site consultation. National clients receive remote guidance with delivery.
