Products
Built for the demands of hospitality
Guests open, close and handle products differently. Cleaners work fast. Coastal weather adds its own pressure. The right choice prevents damage, reduces call-outs and keeps spaces looking fresh for years.
PVC Indoor Shutters
Moisture-proof, mould-resistant and incredibly long-lasting. Preferred by guest lodges because guests cannot break the tilt system. Zero water absorption. No swelling or peeling.
Plaswood Venetian Blinds
The correct choice for hospitality bathrooms. Plaswood slats handle daily steam, humidity and cleaning without warping. Wipes clean between guests. No maintenance required.
Duo Roller Blinds
Sheer and blockout in one cassette. Perfect for rooms needing both privacy and full blackout. Easy for staff to operate, extremely low-maintenance, shortest manufacturing lead times.
Outdoor Blinds & Awnings
Track-guided systems for restaurant terraces, pool decks and dining areas. Motorised with Somfy wind sensors. Extends usable outdoor seating year-round in coastal conditions.
Louvred Awnings
For courtyards, pool decks and premium dining areas. Aluminium louvres tilt to control light, reduce heat and keep guests comfortable without closing off the space.
Insect & Security Screens
Essential for coastal and forest lodges. Prevents complaints before they happen. LockLatch keeps windows open safely while keeping baboons and wildlife out.
“If it is going to break, it will break just before check-in. We build and service solutions that stay intact, stay safe and stay good-looking no matter the previous guest’s habit of fiddling with things.” Duncan Kane Founder, Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings

Frequently Asked
Common questions from hospitality managers
What products reduce the most maintenance calls?
Chainless verticals, PVC shutters and insect screens. No chains, no strings, fewer moving parts, fewer things for guests to break or tangle.
What is the best option for coastal humidity?
PVC shutters and Plaswood venetians for indoors. Outdoor blinds with corrosion-resistant aluminium components for patios and decks. Both resist moisture and salt without deteriorating.
Do you offer annual servicing for hospitality clients?
Yes. We offer an annual service call-out covering shutters, blinds and awnings. You only pay for what we fix, not for the inspection itself.
What is the fastest option for a large replacement?
Duo rollers and vertical blinds have the shortest manufacturing lead times and quickest turnaround, useful when rooms must turn over fast.
Can you assess whether our current blinds are failing?
Yes. Send photos to sales@customblinds.co.za or WhatsApp the team for a specialist review before we recommend replacements.
