Aluminium Blinds Options We Supply
25mm Aluminium Slats
The standard slim slat — neat, light and quick to tilt. Ideal for standard-size windows in kitchens, bathrooms and home offices.
Coloured & Metallic Finishes
Beyond white and silver, aluminium slats come in matte colours, woodgrain-effect and metallic finishes so you can match cabinetry, trim or a feature wall.
Perforated & Privacy Slats
Micro-perforated slats soften incoming light for a brighter feel, while standard slats give full blockout when closed for offices and bedrooms.

The slim 25 mm headrail suits shallow reveals, so aluminium Venetians recess-fit neatly even on the steel-framed windows of older Cape Town houses where deeper blinds will not sit flat. Brackets clip in without visible screws, and on drywall or hollow door panels we use the correct anchors rather than bare screws. Most windows are hung in 15–20 minutes.
Every blind is measured and hung by our own fitters, with blinds installation included in the quoted price.
Cleaning & Care
Slats wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent — kitchen grease comes off with warm soapy water. In sea-facing homes, wipe the slats and headrail down every month or two to clear salt film before it dulls the powder-coating.
If a mechanism or cord does fail years down the line, our blind repairs service replaces the part rather than the whole blind.

Aluminium Blinds — Frequently Asked Questions
Are aluminium blinds suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes — aluminium is moisture-resistant and wipes clean easily, which makes it one of the best choices for steamy bathrooms and kitchens. The powder-coated finish also resists rust in humid coastal homes.
How much do aluminium blinds cost in Cape Town?
Aluminium blinds typically run from about R550 per m² for standard white or silver slats up to around R950 per m² for coloured, woodgrain or metallic finishes. A small bathroom window is often R400–R700 fitted. We confirm pricing after measuring.
Do aluminium blinds rust near the sea?
Bare metal would, but our slats and headrails are powder-coated, which seals the aluminium against salt air. They perform well across the Atlantic Seaboard and West Coast. We still recommend faux-wood or fabric for windows that get direct sea spray.
What slat width should I choose?
25mm is the standard and suits most windows. For very small or narrow windows a 16mm slat looks more in proportion, while larger windows can carry a wider slat for fewer slats and a cleaner view when open.
Are aluminium blinds noisy in the wind?
They can rattle if a window is left open on a windy Cape day. Closing or tilting the slats, or adding hold-down brackets at the base, keeps them still — we fit these on request for breezy spots.
