What moves the price of blinds

Four things. One of them is entirely yours.

Type
A plain aluminium venetian is the least; a motorised honeycomb with smart-home control is the most
Size
Pricing scales with the window. Large blinds also need heavier brackets and stronger motors
Fabric and material
Sheer costs less than blockout; UV-certified slats cost more than budget ones and last longer
Operation
Chain or wand is standard. Motorisation adds from R2,200 a blind; Somfy and MotionBlinds integration adds more

Questions buyers ask about blind costs

Is there a blinds price calculator in South Africa?

Yes, at shop.customblinds.co.za. It prices roller, honeycomb, venetian, vertical, zebra, bamboo, motorised and no-drill blinds on your exact size. Awnings, shutters, shadeports, security screens and Ziptrak are quoted after an expert consultation on the Garden Route only.

How much should I budget for blinds for a whole house?

A three-bedroom home with 8 to 12 windows typically runs R8,000 to R30,000, depending on the types chosen and whether motorisation is included. Budget R1,000 to R2,500 a standard window for quality indoor blinds.
