Product specification
Why do Wilderness homes need the right product specification?
Wilderness sits on the Touw River estuary, sheltered from strong inland winds by the Outeniqua mountains but exposed to the consistent humidity that comes off the lagoon and the Indian Ocean. Average annual humidity runs at 77%, peaking at 83% in late summer. That level of moisture in the air affects every window treatment and outdoor blind in the village.
Timber venetian blinds absorb moisture and warp. Untreated steel hardware on patio blinds and awnings corrodes faster than in drier towns. Standard canvas on outdoor systems grows mould without UV and mould-resistant fabric treatments. Fly screens matter here too: the lagoon and Touw River bring mosquitoes and midges through the warmer months, particularly in properties close to the water or near the Wilderness National Park boundary.
Custom Blinds specifies products for the coastal Garden Route environment as standard. Every Wilderness installation uses moisture-rated materials, corrosion-resistant fixings, and fabrics suited to the conditions.
