Roller Blinds
Sunscreen where the bay view matters, blockout where a two o'clock nap can't wait — made to measure for Sunningdale's wide new-build sliding and stacking doors.
Two fabrics, two jobs
Sunscreen fabric, in 3%, 5% or 10% openness, cuts glare and UV while keeping the bay visible through the weave — the lower the percentage, the more heat and glare it stops, at the cost of a little view. A 3–5% weave is the standard choice for the wide stacking-door glass most new-build Sunningdale lounges are built around.
Blockout fabric does the opposite job: total dark for a nursery, a nap-time bedroom or a media room, plus a genuine insulating layer against the swing between a bright Blaauwberg afternoon and a cool, windy evening. It's the fabric to reach for anywhere the goal is "no light at all," not "less light."
Wide glass, one honest limit
Newer Sunningdale phases are built around wide stacking and sliding doors — often wider than the roughly 3m of unbroken fabric a single roller blind can span cleanly. Beyond that width we either split the run with a central join line or motorise linked blinds so they operate together. We measure this on site and quote it plainly, not as a surprise on install day.
Control & child safety
Chain control with a wall-anchored tensioner as standard, spring-assist for a lighter action, or fully motorised for wide glass or a hard-to-reach window. Indoor rollers aren't affected by the Cape Doctor — wind only matters once a product is mounted outside, which is where we specify differently (see roller shutters and awnings).
One honest limit. Very wide spans need either a join line or a second, linked blind. On some of the established Sunningdale streets with narrower original window openings, a venetian sometimes suits the reveal better than a roller — we'll say so during the measure if that's the case.
From Sunningdale's newest stacking-door lounges to the established streets nearer Parklands, sunscreen and blockout rollers are the everyday answer on almost every window we measure.
