Premium window coverings work when the product is right for the room. The fabric, the system, the mounting, the control. Custom Blinds South Africa specifies every detail so you don’t have to guess.
What is Luxaflex and What Does Hunter Douglas Offer?
Luxaflex is a premium window coverings brand within the Hunter Douglas group. Hunter Douglas is the world’s largest manufacturer of window covering systems, and Luxaflex represents their design-led collections in markets outside North America. The products are known for refined finishes, smooth control mechanisms, and architectural presence that separates them from standard alternatives.
Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings supplies Hunter Douglas products including the Luxaflex Duette honeycomb range, Luxaflex roller systems, and the full venetian blind collection in aluminium, timber, and composite materials. On the Garden Route, Duncan specifies and installs every system personally. Nationally, selected products ship free from our online shop.
Product Families from Custom Blinds South Africa
Honeycomb Blinds (Luxaflex Duette)
Cellular construction traps air between fabric layers, creating measurable insulation. Duette honeycomb blinds reduce heat loss in winter and keep rooms cooler in summer. Available in single and double cell, light filtering through to full blockout. Ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, and energy-conscious homes. View our honeycomb blinds guide.
Roller Blinds
Hunter Douglas roller blinds focus on fabric performance and hardware quality. Clean lines, consistent rolling, and long-term reliability. Available in light filtering, dimout, and blockout fabrics. Custom Blinds supplies these with Somfy motorisation as standard for hard-to-reach windows. Order online or explore motorised options.
Venetian Blinds
Aluminium, timber, and composite venetian blinds with precise tilt control for shaping light throughout the day. The quality difference shows in slat alignment, cord tension, and long-term operation. Aluminium venetians suit coastal and bathroom environments. Timber venetians add warmth and texture.
Day-Night and Zebra Systems
Alternating sheer and opaque bands allow continuous adjustment between privacy and view without raising the blind. Premium systems maintain smoother alignment and better fabric tension than budget alternatives. Explore zebra blinds.
Vertical Blinds
Designed for sliding doors and wide openings where horizontal blinds cannot span cleanly. The difference between premium and standard systems lies in tracking smoothness and fabric quality. View vertical blinds.
Somfy Motorisation: Specified and Installed in Knysna
Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings is the Garden Route’s Somfy motorisation specialist. We specify, supply, and install Somfy wireless and hardwired motor systems for roller blinds, honeycomb blinds, outdoor blinds, and awnings. Retrofit motors fit existing products without structural changes.
Somfy automation pairs naturally with Hunter Douglas and Luxaflex products. Duncan assesses each window during a site visit and recommends the correct motor, control method (remote, timer, or smart home integration), and power source. Read our Somfy automation guide.
“Premium products only perform when they’re specified correctly for the room, the light, and the coastal conditions. That’s what we do. We match the right system to your home, not the other way around.”

How to Choose the Right System
If glare is the problem
Light filtering roller blinds or sheer systems reduce glare while preserving the view. Avoid overly dark fabrics in living spaces as they create uncomfortable contrast.
If privacy is the problem
Day-night blinds, venetians, or shutters provide privacy without blocking all natural light. Diffused light creates better living spaces than total blockout during the day.
If sleep is the problem
Blockout roller blinds or Duette honeycomb blinds in blockout fabric. Correct recess mounting reduces edge light leaks, which is where most “blockout” blinds fail.
If temperature is the problem
Honeycomb blinds first, shutters second. Thermal comfort comes from the insulating air pocket, not from blocking light. South African electricity costs make this a practical investment.
Frequently Asked Questions About Luxaflex in South Africa
Does Custom Blinds supply Luxaflex products?
Yes. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings supplies the full range of Hunter Douglas products, which includes the Luxaflex collections. This covers honeycomb blinds, roller blinds, venetian blinds, vertical blinds, and day-night systems. Garden Route customers receive on-site specification and professional installation. National customers can order selected products online.
Is Luxaflex worth the higher price?
Luxaflex and Hunter Douglas products use higher-grade fabrics, smoother hardware, and better engineering than most alternatives. The difference is most noticeable in daily operation, longevity, and consistency over time. For rooms that are used constantly, premium systems justify the investment through reliability and comfort.
Can Luxaflex blinds be motorised?
Yes. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings is the Garden Route’s Somfy motorisation specialist. We supply and install Somfy wireless and hardwired motors for most Hunter Douglas and Luxaflex products including roller blinds, honeycomb blinds, and outdoor blinds. Retrofit motors can be fitted to existing products without structural changes.
Are Luxaflex products suitable for coastal homes?
Coastal performance depends on material selection and correct specification. Aluminium venetians, composite materials, and moisture-resistant fabrics handle Garden Route humidity and salt air well. Duncan assesses each installation individually because coastal conditions vary significantly, even between rooms in the same home.
Can I order Luxaflex blinds online from Custom Blinds?
Selected Hunter Douglas products are available online at shop.customblinds.co.za with free delivery anywhere in South Africa. These include roller blinds, honeycomb blinds, and venetian blinds.
