A custom-made blind costs more than a rack blind and less than most people expect: prices above are the from-prices on the online shop, priced instantly on your sizes. If the measurements supplied were wrong, the Custom Fit Guarantee applies: too big is cut down free and returned, too small is remade at a reduced price, and we cover the courier both ways. If the error is ours, every cost is ours.
Steel tape, millimetres, three readings each way, no deductions. How to measure
Choose the blind, fabric and operation; instant price; free delivery; made in about 5 to 7 working days plus courier transit.
Self-install nationally with fitting instructions, or the Garden Route team fits after Duncan measures on site.

Blinds manufactured after you order, to your exact window measurements, in the fabric, colour, material and operation you choose. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings makes every blind this way.
For South African windows, yes: a made-to-measure blind fits, performs and lasts, where a ready-made one leaves gaps or needs cutting. The from-prices online are closer to a rack blind than most people expect.
By the room’s problem: darkness (blockout), glare with the view (sheer), steam (aluminium or plaswood venetian), heat and cold (honeycomb), a sliding door (vertical). On the Garden Route, Duncan advises on site.
A light dust; a wipe with a damp cloth for aluminium, plaswood and roller fabrics; a vacuum on low for honeycomb; never soaked.
