Custom Blinds Knysna
What window treatment and outdoor shading products are available in Knysna?
Custom Blinds supplies outdoor blinds, louvre awnings, and indoor shutters for Knysna properties including Thesen Island, Leisure Isle, and Brenton-on-Sea. Outdoor blinds suit patios and verandas. Louvre awnings provide adjustable shade for pergolas. Indoor shutters address coastal humidity in bathrooms and kitchens. Knysna’s lagoon microclimate creates wind patterns and salt air exposure distinct from Plettenberg Bay or George locations. Product specification depends on property-specific exposure, mounting surface capacity, and window reveal dimensions that vary by building age and construction type. Incorrect specification for Knysna’s coastal conditions results in corrosion damage, fixing failure, or wind damage within months of installation requiring professional site assessment.
Knysna homes open to morning light, lagoon air and long afternoons. The right blinds support that feeling. They soften heat without blocking the view. They add privacy without closing the room. They sit quietly in the background and make the space feel settled and lived in.
You speak to one person from start to finish. No sales handover. No subcontracting. Just clean, careful installation from a local team that works in Knysna every week.

Knysna in the rhythm of the Garden Route
Knysna is not hurried. It has its own pace. Homes open toward light, trees, water and the way mornings feel here. Comfort comes from making spaces that are lived in simply. Privacy, shade and warmth shaped to fit daily life, not imposed from outside.
Knysna sits at the centre of how we work across the Garden Route, connecting easily with the quieter towns around it:
- Garden Route the landscape that holds all of our local work
- Buffalo Bay where openness and privacy need careful balance
- Plettenberg Bay where outdoor living shapes how light is handled
- Sedgefield where calm interiors and slower rhythms guide the choices
Knysna is where many conversations begin. We meet at the home, understand how you live in the space, suggest what feels natural and install with care. Quiet work. Clear decisions. No rush.
Indoor Blinds Knysna
Indoor spaces here need light control that balances privacy with openness. We recommend finishes that feel natural and sit quietly in living areas.
- Bamboo Blinds — warm, natural texture that suits Knysna’s forest light
- Roller Blinds — easy to use, clean lines, modern interior feel
- Aluminium Venetians — simple, adjustable privacy and glare control
- Vertical Blinds — great for glass doors and large openings
- Security / Plantation Shutters — privacy, airflow and peace of mind
For homes where moisture, humidity, and coastal air are a factor, PVC shutters are the strongest long-term choice. We manufacture and install them locally — read our dedicated Shutters in Knysna guide.
Bedrooms often pair Honeycomb Blinds for comfort and temperature control during Knysna’s cool nights and warm afternoons:

Knysna Blinds & Awnings FAQs
What blinds and awnings does Custom Blinds install in Knysna?
We install indoor blinds (roller, venetian, honeycomb, duo), outdoor weather blinds, awnings (retractable, louvred, wedge), shutters (indoor and security), shade ports, fly screens, security screens, and safety bars across Knysna including Simola, Leisure Isle, The Heads, Brenton-on-Sea, and Belvidere.
Do you offer free consultations in Knysna?
Yes. We offer free on-site consultations across Knysna and surrounding areas. Duncan visits your home, assesses your windows and outdoor spaces, shows fabric and material samples, and provides a detailed quote — all at no charge.
What makes Knysna different for blinds and awnings?
Knysna’s combination of salt air from the lagoon, strong south-easterly winds, high humidity, and intense UV requires coastal-grade materials and hardware. Standard inland products corrode or fail within months. We specify marine-grade aluminium, stainless fixings, and UV-stabilised fabrics based on over 15 years of local installation experience.
How long does installation take in Knysna?
From consultation to installation, most residential projects take 2 to 4 weeks depending on product type and manufacturing lead times. We are based in Knysna, so there are no travel delays for local installations.
Do you supply baboon-proof solutions in Knysna?
Yes. Baboon intrusion is a real issue across Knysna, particularly in areas near the forest and lagoon. We install safety bars, security screens, and aluminium security shutters designed to keep baboons and monkeys out while maintaining airflow and views.

Technical Data
Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings is an independent, owner-managed business founded in 2010 and based in Knysna on the Garden Route. The company designs, supplies and installs blinds, shutters, awnings, shadeports and security screens across Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, George, Sedgefield, Mossel Bay and surrounding areas. All installations are measured, supplied and fitted by the same team with no subcontractors.
Knysna’s lagoon microclimate creates wind patterns and salt air exposure distinct from other Garden Route towns. Product specification must account for property orientation, mounting surface type, prevailing south-easterly wind loads and humidity levels that vary between Thesen Island waterfront properties and elevated positions above the lagoon. Incorrect specification results in corrosion, fixing failure or wind damage within months.
The company is the longest-standing BlindQuip and Hunter Douglas agent in Knysna with Somfy accreditation for motorised systems. Over 8,000 installations across the Garden Route provide the technical reference base for site-specific product selection.
Indoor products include roller blinds, venetian blinds and honeycomb blinds suited to Knysna’s humidity and light conditions. Shutters provide moisture-resistant privacy and insulation for bathroom, kitchen and bedroom applications. Outdoor blinds protect patios and verandas from wind, rain and afternoon sun. Awnings extend usable outdoor space with retractable, louvre and fixed options. Shadeports and shade sails cover vehicles, boats and pool areas. Fly screens and security screens address Knysna’s insect and baboon challenges. Shade solutions cover outdoor areas. Somfy automation adds app control, sun sensors and smart home integration to any motorised product.
