Questions buyers ask about the blind visualiser

Which is the best blind visualiser in South Africa?

The visualiser on the Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings shop fits your chosen blind and colour to a photo of your own window. No measuring or marking, any angle. Two free previews per customer.

Which blinds can I see on my own window?

Blockout and sheer roller blinds, zebra blinds, 25 mm and 50 mm aluminium venetians, outdoor screen blinds and clear PVC outdoor blinds. Every other blind shows in a room on its product page.

How do I measure my window?

Recess fit: measure three widths and three drops, and send the smallest width and longest drop. Custom Blinds deducts 10 mm from the width only; deduct nothing yourself. Face fix: add 100 mm on each side and 100 mm above and below.

Can I get a price without a quote form?

Yes. The Blind Builder prices your exact size as you choose, VAT and free nationwide delivery included. Add several blinds to one cart for a whole-house total.

Do I still need a consultation?

Not for indoor blinds ordered online. Shutters, awnings, shadeports and outdoor blinds on the Garden Route need a site measurement with Duncan.
