How to order made-to-measure blinds & curtains online in South Africa
You no longer have to wait days for a rep, a quote and a callback. You can measure your own windows, choose your fabric, see the exact price and order custom-made blinds and curtains online — made to your millimetre and delivered to your door anywhere in South Africa. Here’s how it works, what it costs, and how to get it right.
Why order window coverings online?
- It’s faster. Pick, price and pay in minutes — no waiting for a sales visit.
- The price is upfront. You see the exact, all-in price (incl VAT) before you commit — no “we’ll get back to you”.
- Free fabric samples. Order swatches and see the colour in your own light before you buy.
- It’s guaranteed. Our RightFit guarantee covers a mis-measure — so ordering online carries no risk.
- Still made to measure. Every blind and curtain is cut to your exact window, by a team that’s done it for 25 years.
What you can order online (and what it costs)
Most South African sites that sell online only do roller blinds. Total Blind Design is different — you can order our full made-to-measure range online, including wave curtains, which almost nobody in SA offers. Every price below is the real, all-in price including VAT.
| Product | Order online up to | Example price (incl VAT) |
|---|---|---|
| Wave curtains | 4000 × 2700 mm (track) | from R2 406 (2.0×2.3m) |
| Roller blinds | 3200 × 3400 mm | from R2 173 (1.2×1.5m) |
| 35mm aluminium | 3000 × 3000 mm | from R1 521 (1.2×1.5m) |
| Retro Venetian | 3000 × 3000 mm | from R2 209 (1.2×1.5m) |
| Wood Venetian | 2700 × 3000 mm | from R3 427 (1.2×1.5m) |
| Cellular (honeycomb) | 3000 × 3000 mm | from R4 249 (1.2×1.5m) |
Bigger window, outdoor patio blind, shutters or motorisation? Those are best measured in person — book a free measure and our team handles it.
Blinds and curtains — not just blinds
This is the big one. You can buy roller blinds online from a handful of SA retailers — but made-to-measure curtains online are almost unheard of here. Our wave curtains hang on a Papini track in the Portobello sheer range, with an optional Lights Out blockout lining, priced instantly and sewn to your exact track width and drop. Soft, modern waves, ordered as easily as a blind.
How ordering online works
- Measure your window. A steel tape and two minutes — our how-to-measure guides show you exactly how for each product.
- Choose your fabric & colour. Browse the real swatch range; order free samples if you’d like to see them first.
- Enter your size & see the price. The exact, all-in price appears instantly — no quote, no wait.
- Check out & pay. Secure online payment; we confirm your made-to-measure spec.
- We make & deliver. Cut to your millimetre in Cape Town and couriered to your door, countrywide.
Measuring made easy — and guaranteed
The only thing that matters is getting the measurements right, and we make that simple: for an inside (recess) fit you give us the exact opening and we make the fit deductions for you; for an outside fit you choose how far the blind goes over the reveal. Each product has its own step-by-step measure & fit guide. And if a measurement does go wrong, the RightFit guarantee has you covered — which is exactly why ordering online is safe.
Nationwide delivery
