Made-to-Measure Blinds in Pretoria

Blinds in Pretoria, made to measure in Cape Town and couriered to your door. You measure the window, design the blind online and pay at a secure checkout. We make it, the courier brings it to Pretoria, and you fit it yourself. If a size comes out wrong, talk to us: under RightFit mis-measure cover a wrong-size blind is remade at 20% off the full price.

Pretoria light is not Cape Town light. Summers are hot and dry, the sun sits high and hard on north-facing glass, and the afternoon storm arrives and leaves within the hour. From the older homes of Brooklyn and Waterkloof to the estates beyond Garsfontein, a north-facing window here is in full sun for most of the year. For 25 years we have been specifying blinds for hard South African sun, and every blind we make for Pretoria is cut to the millimetre in our Cape Town workshop.

How to order blinds in Pretoria

1. Measure. Open the how-to-measure guide for your product. A steel tape, a few minutes a window and a note of the width and drop is all it takes. Each guide shows the difference between an inside (recess) fit and an outside fit, and where to take the measurement.
2. Order online. Choose a designer from our product range, pick fabric, colour and options, enter your size and the exact price appears, including VAT. Pay at the secure checkout.
3. Receive and fit. Your blinds are made in Cape Town and couriered to Pretoria. Delivery is Standard or Express, priced at checkout from your address, with tracking by WhatsApp and SMS. You fit them yourself.

What to order for Pretoria windows

Four products do most of the work in Pretoria homes and offices. Each is made to your exact size. The price in the designer is the full price of the blind, including VAT; the courier is added at checkout.

• Roller blinds — from R989. Screen fabric on the north-facing glass of a Lynnwood or Waterkloof Ridge living room takes the glare and a good part of the heat out of the room while keeping the view of the garden. Blockout fabric for bedrooms; light-filter where you want softness without losing the daylight. Add a Louvolite One Touch wire-free motor (R4,262 per blind up to 4 m², with one 16-channel remote per order at R1,584.70) and there is no chain to see. The technology disappears and the room stays the hero.
• Cellular blinds — from R1,671. The honeycomb cells hold a layer of still air against the glass, so a room stays cooler through a Pretoria summer and warmer on the dry, cold nights of a Pretoria winter. A natural specification for the large east-facing bedrooms in the estates around Garsfontein, Mooikloof and Silver Lakes, and for any room that is hard to keep at temperature.
• 35mm aluminium venetians — from R710. Precise light control for the offices, consulting rooms and embassy residences of Arcadia, Hatfield and Brooklyn. Tilt the slats to steer the light rather than shut it out, and when jacaranda season leaves its dust on every sill in November, the slats wipe clean.
• Outdoor free-hang blinds — from R7,110. For the patio and braai area a Pretoria home is built around. Screen cloth keeps the late sun off the table in summer and the space in use through winter. Mode screen fabrics carry a 10-year warranty and SheerWeave 4500 five years; a manual crank or a wire-free motor is priced in the designer.

Also made to measure and couriered to Pretoria: wood venetians from R1,350 for the panelled studies and dining rooms of Waterkloof and Groenkloof, retro 50mm venetians from R1,133, and wave curtains from R1,165, made in our own workroom for the full-height sliding doors of newer estate homes.

Pretoria blinds FAQ

Do you deliver blinds to Pretoria, and how long does it take?

Yes. Every order is made in Cape Town and couriered to your Pretoria address. Indoor blinds are made in about 5 working days (Designer fabrics about 15), wave curtains in 5–7 and outdoor blinds in 10–15. Standard courier then takes 2–3 working days and Express 1–2, so an indoor roller is typically with you 7–8 working days after you order. The courier cost is shown at checkout before you pay.

Can you measure or install in Pretoria?

No. Our free in-home measure and our own installers are Cape Town only. In Pretoria you measure with our step-by-step guides, order online and fit the blinds yourself. The guides are written for exactly this, and if a genuine mis-measure happens, RightFit cover means you talk to us and a wrong-size blind is remade at 20% off the full price.

What happens if I measure a window wrong?

Because each blind is cut to your exact size, custom-made items cannot be returned for a change of mind, in line with the Consumer Protection Act for bespoke goods. If a genuine mis-measure happens, talk to us and we will help put it right under RightFit. If anything arrives faulty or damaged, contact us within 7 days with a photo and we repair or replace it at no cost.

Which blinds suit the heat and strong north light in Pretoria?

For north- and west-facing glass, a screen roller blind cuts glare and reduces heat while keeping the view. Cellular blinds insulate against both the summer heat and the cold, dry winter nights. Blockout rollers suit bedrooms, and aluminium venetians give precise, tiltable light control in offices and wipe clean after jacaranda season. Each designer shows its maximum online size; for anything larger, email us and we will advise.

Is the warranty the same if I fit the blinds myself in Pretoria?

Yes. Made-to-measure blinds and curtains carry a 2-year warranty, motorisation 5 years, and Mode Outdoor screen fabrics 10 years. For an online order fitted by you, the warranty runs from the date of delivery and covers manufacturing defects under normal domestic use.
