Blinds & awnings, made to measure for Saxonwold

Saxonwold’s heritage homes sit under one of the densest urban tree canopies in the city, a short walk from the zoo and Johannesburg’s museum belt. Original window proportions here deserve better than off-the-shelf treatments.

Why shading matters here

Designed for Saxonwold's light

Deep verandas and mature trees filter much of the light, so the brief is usually refinement — timber venetians, romans and curtain tracks that suit period detailing — plus solar control on the few exposed elevations.

We measure, quote, supply and professionally install across Johannesburg and Sandton. Every product is made to measure — nothing off the shelf.

Energy & comfort

Shading is an energy decision

South Africa's building energy standard, SANS 10400-XA:2021 (Ed 2), regulates solar heat gain through glazing for good reason: glass is where summer heat enters. External shading intercepts that heat before the glass; quality interior blinds add an adjustable second layer. The result is a cooler home and less air-conditioning load — comfort you can feel and running costs you can measure.

Questions we hear in Saxonwold

Straight answers

Can you fit blinds to older and heritage windows in Saxonwold?

Yes — everything we make is measured and made to order, so sash windows, steel frames and non-standard openings are routine. We recommend treatments that respect the original proportions rather than forcing standard sizes into character openings.

How do we get privacy in Saxonwold without losing light?

Layering: day-night blinds alternate sheer and solid bands you tune through the day, and sunscreen fabrics give daytime privacy while keeping the view out. For night privacy, add a blockout or lined layer to the same window.
