The clean, made-to-measure fix for big lounge and patio doors — blockout, sunscreen or a double combination on one bracket.
ExploreBuilt for how this suburb actually lives
Senderwood's big, generously treed stands make for a garden that changes character through the day — dappled shade under old jacarandas and syringas for hours, then a hard band of low western sun straight through the lounge and patio doors as the afternoon turns. It's the kind of light that a single "one size" blind never quite handles.
The housing stock tells its own story too: original 1970s and '80s openings sitting alongside newly extended kitchens and stacking doors, often on the very same house. That's exactly why every quote here starts with a measure of each window on its own — no assumption that the lounge and the new scullery take the same size blind.
Then there's the highveld sky. Summer thunderstorms roll in fast and hard between November and March, with wind gusts and hail that a fixed patio roof can't argue with. Anything mounted outside — an awning, a roller shutter — is specified with that in mind: real wind ratings, and motorised auto-retract on anything left open over a braai.
And because this is a family suburb before anything else, cordless and motorised control isn't an upsell here — it's the sensible default in any room a child spends time in.
