Window blinds prices are easier to judge per window than per square metre. So how much are blinds for a normal window? A 1.5 × 1.2 m bedroom window costs about R800–R1,250 in sunscreen roller, R1,000–R1,550 in blockout roller and R1,150–R1,700 in day-night blinds. The table works out the price of blinds for four common Cape Town window sizes, using the same per-m² rates as the estimator above, supplied and fitted.
| Blind type | Small 0.6 × 0.9 m | Kitchen 1.2 × 1.0 m | Bedroom 1.5 × 1.2 m | Lounge 2.0 × 1.5 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vertical | R450 – R650 | R500 – R1,000 | R700 – R1,550 | R1,200 – R2,550 |
| Roller (sunscreen) | R450 – R650 | R550 – R850 | R800 – R1,250 | R1,350 – R2,100 |
| Aluminium | R450 – R650 | R650 – R1,150 | R1,000 – R1,700 | R1,650 – R2,850 |
| Blockout roller | R450 – R650 | R650 – R1,000 | R1,000 – R1,550 | R1,650 – R2,550 |
| Day-night (zebra) | R450 – R650 | R800 – R1,150 | R1,150 – R1,700 | R1,950 – R2,850 |
| Faux-wood Venetian | R500 – R800 | R1,100 – R1,800 | R1,600 – R2,700 | R2,700 – R4,500 |
| Bamboo | R500 – R950 | R1,100 – R2,150 | R1,600 – R3,250 | R2,700 – R5,400 |
| Roman | R500 – R1,100 | R1,100 – R2,400 | R1,600 – R3,600 | R2,700 – R6,000 |
| Wooden (basswood) | R650 – R1,300 | R1,450 – R2,900 | R2,150 – R4,300 | R3,600 – R7,200 |
Very small windows carry a minimum charge, which is why the smallest column barely changes between types. A standard 2 m sliding door in vertical blinds is R1,700–R2,500 fitted, and a 3 × 2.4 m patio opening in outdoor blinds runs from about R8,650 in manual shade mesh to around R20,150 in motorised clear PVC.
Blinds Prices by Type
Vertical blinds are the most affordable from around R400 per m², roller blinds start near R450 per m² and aluminium near R550, day-night blinds around R650, and wood and Roman blinds from roughly R900–R1,200 per m². Outdoor and motorised blinds sit above that because of the heavier hardware.
Vertical blinds price
Made-to-measure vertical blinds cost from about R400 per m² for PVC vanes to R850 per m² for sunscreen and premium fabric vanes. A standard 2 m sliding door is R1,700–R2,500 fitted.
Roller blinds price
Sunscreen and light-filtering roller blinds cost from about R450 to around R700 per m², and premium blockout or motorised rollers reach about R1,200 per m².
Aluminium blinds price
Powder-coated aluminium blinds cost from about R550 per m² for white or silver slats to R950 per m² for coloured, woodgrain and metallic finishes.
Blackout blinds price
Made-to-measure blackout blinds cost from about R550 per m² as a block-out roller and from roughly R1,000 per m² as a blackout Roman blind. Blackout and blockout are two names for the same fabric, so the blockout blinds price is the same. Side channels for edge-to-edge darkness add a little more.
Zebra blinds price
Zebra blinds cost from around R650 per m² to about R950 per m²; Capetown Blinds sells them as day-night blinds, with one mechanism driving both fabric layers.
Venetian blinds price
Aluminium Venetian blinds cost from around R550 per m², faux-wood Venetians R900–R1,500 per m² and real basswood Venetians from about R1,200 per m².
Wooden blinds prices
Real wooden blinds cost from about R1,200 per m² up to around R2,400 per m², and basswood blinds prices rise with slat width and finish. The wooden blinds prices Cape Town customers see here cover real basswood; faux-wood gives the same look from about R900 per m².
Roman blinds price
Roman blinds cost from about R900 per m² for standard fabrics to around R2,000 per m² for designer fabrics and blockout linings.
Bamboo blinds price
Natural bamboo blinds cost from about R900 per m² unlined to around R1,800 per m² with a privacy lining.
Outdoor and patio blinds price
Weatherproof outdoor blinds cost from about R1,200 per m² for shade mesh on a manual system to about R2,800 per m² for clear PVC with wind-rated tracks and a motor.
Motorised blinds price
Battery, wired or solar motorised blinds cost the price of the blind plus about R1,800–R3,500 per motor.
Cheap Blinds Cape Town: The Most Affordable Options
The cheapest blinds in Cape Town are PVC vertical blinds from about R400 per m², followed by sunscreen roller blinds from about R450 and aluminium blinds from about R550. Affordable blinds do not have to be flimsy ones: all three are made to measure and fitted, and all three suit rentals, kitchens and bathrooms. For affordable blinds Cape Town homeowners can compare those three in the price list above.
How to keep the cost down without buying cheap blinds twice
- Choose a plain fabric or a white slat: colours, prints and designer ranges move a blind up its price band.
- Pick a chain or cord control over a motor, because motorisation alone adds R1,800–R3,500 per blind.
- Put roller or vertical blinds on large glass and keep Roman, bamboo or wooden blinds for the one window people look at.
Cheap blinds near me: the cheapest version of each type
Capetown Blinds measures and fits across greater Cape Town; the options below are available within that service area:
- For “cheap vertical blinds near me” — PVC vanes from about R400 per m², the lowest price on the list.
- Cheap PVC blinds — PVC blinds cost least as vertical vanes, from around R400 per m². Clear PVC outdoor systems are a different product, with a PVC blinds price of up to about R2,800 per m² including tracks and a motor.
- For “cheap roller blinds near me” — a plain sunscreen fabric on a chain, from about R450 per m².
- Cheap aluminium blinds — standard white or silver slats from about R550 per m².
- For “cheap Venetian blinds near me” — aluminium Venetians from about R550 per m² cost less than faux-wood or real wood.
- Cheap blackout blinds — a blockout roller from about R550 per m²; cheap blockout blinds are the same product, and a blackout Roman starts nearer R1,000.
- Cheap zebra blinds — a standard day-night fabric from about R650 per m².
- For “cheap wooden blinds near me” — faux-wood from about R900 per m² gives the look for less than real basswood from R1,200.
- For “cheap bamboo blinds near me” — unlined bamboo from about R900 per m²; a privacy lining adds to it.
- Cheap Roman blinds — a standard fabric without a blockout lining, from about R900 per m².
- For “cheap outdoor blinds near me” — shade mesh on a manual system, from about R1,200 per m².
- Cheap motorised blinds — a rechargeable battery motor at the lower end of R1,800–R3,500 per blind, with no electrician needed.
If you are searching for “cheap blinds near me” or “cheap window blinds near me”, compare ready-made blinds in fixed widths with made-to-measure options. A blind that is 5 cm too narrow leaves gaps at the sides, so compare the fitted price before you decide. Cheap window blinds can cost more overall if measuring, delivery and fitting are charged separately.
Motorised and Outdoor Blinds Prices
Motorised blinds prices
Motorised blinds cost the price of the blind plus about R1,800–R3,500 per motor, depending on the motor type, the blind size and whether you add a hub for app control. A rechargeable battery motor is the cheapest route, and a wired 230 V motor carries the electrician's cost separately. A 1.5 × 1.2 m roller blind with a motor comes to roughly R2,600–R4,750 fitted.
Outdoor and patio blinds prices
Outdoor blinds cost from about R1,200 per m² for shade mesh on a manual system to about R2,800 per m² for clear PVC with wind-rated tracks and a motor. Patio openings are large, so the total is the number to plan for: a 3 × 2.4 m opening runs roughly R8,650–R20,150 fitted. Patio blinds cost more per square metre than indoor blinds because the fabric, tracks and fixings have to stand up to wind and weather.
What Affects the Cost of Blinds
Five things set what window blinds cost: the material, the size, the control, the extras and the fitting position. The rates above are for standard installations; these are the factors that move a quote up or down.
- Material and fabric grade — a sunscreen roller and a designer Roman fabric can differ by four times per square metre on the same window.
- Window size — bigger windows cost more in total but often less per square metre, and very small windows carry a minimum charge.
- Control — chain or cord is standard; a cordless mechanism adds to any blind, and a motor adds R1,800–R3,500.
- Extras — side channels, blockout linings and pelmets are priced per blind.
- Fitting position — inside or outside the recess, bay windows and double-volume windows that need tall ladders change the time on site.
What a Whole House Costs: A Worked Example
Take a typical three-bedroom Cape Town home. Three 1.5 × 1.2 m bedroom windows in blockout roller cost about R1,000–R1,550 each fitted; two 2 × 1.5 m lounge windows in day-night blinds about R1,950–R2,850 each; a 1.2 × 1 m kitchen window in aluminium about R650–R1,150; and a 0.9 × 0.9 m bathroom window in moisture-resistant faux-wood about R750–R1,200. That puts the whole house at roughly R8,300–R12,700 supplied and fitted, and doing every window in sunscreen roller instead brings it closer to R6,000–R9,500.

Mr Price Home blinds, @home blinds, Game blinds, Makro blinds and Leroy Merlin blinds range from ready-made standard sizes to made-to-measure services, and what is included varies by store and by product. The comparison sets a ready-made, supply-only blind against a made-to-measure blind that Capetown Blinds measures and fits, so check which of the two a store price refers to.
| Ready-made, supply-only blind | Made-to-measure (Capetown Blinds) | |
|---|---|---|
| Price shown | Per blind, supply only | Per window, supplied and fitted |
| Size | Standard widths and drops | Cut to your exact window |
| Measuring | You measure | Free in-home measure |
| Installation | DIY, or hire your own installer | Included |
| Fabric and colour choice | What is on the shelf | Samples brought to your home |
| Repairs later | Depends on the seller | Blind repair service |
A ready-made blind suits a standard-size window in a rental or a spare room. For wide, tall or unusual windows, compare the fitted price of a made-to-measure blind before you decide.

Blinds Factory Shop Cape Town: Is It Cheaper?
A blinds factory shop in Cape Town's northern industrial belt, around Montague Gardens and Killarney Gardens, can show a lower price per blind. Before comparing, check whether that price includes measuring, delivery and fitting, and whether the blind is made to your window size, then compare the final fitted price per window, itemised.
Blinds Sales and Specials: How to Tell a Real Saving
A blinds sale only saves money when it compares like with like; check what any advertised blinds specials include. Before you book, check four things:
- Is fitting included, or is the special price supply-only?
- Is the blind made to your measurements, or a standard size at a lower price?
- Is the fabric the grade in the photo, or an end-of-range colour?
- Are brackets, child-safety devices and the chain tensioner in the price?
Getting a Blinds Quote
A per-square-metre guide only gets you close. For an exact blinds quotation, Capetown Blinds measures every window at a free in-home visit anywhere in greater Cape Town and itemises the quote per window, whether it is a roller blinds quote for one bedroom, a Roman blinds quote for the lounge or a window blinds quote for the whole house. The measure and quote are free and carry no obligation.
What an itemised quote should list
- The measured width and drop of each window
- The blind type and the fabric or slat code
- The control: chain, cordless or motor
- Fitting, and whether the blind sits inside or outside the recess
- For a wooden blinds quote, real basswood or faux-wood; for a Venetian blinds quote, aluminium, faux-wood or real wood
- Extras such as side channels, linings or pelmets
Why two quotes for the same window differ
Quotes for the same window can differ because of what each one includes: whether installation is in the price or added later, whether the fabric quoted is the grade you asked for or a lighter one sold under the same name, whether child-safety devices and a chain tensioner are in the price, and whether brackets or a pelmet are counted as extras. Ask for the quote itemised per window and the differences become visible immediately.

How much are blinds for a whole house?
A typical three-bedroom Cape Town house costs roughly R8,300–R12,700 for blinds on every window, supplied and fitted, or about R6,000–R9,500 if every window is a sunscreen roller blind.
What is the cheapest type of blind?
Vertical blinds are usually the cheapest, from around R400 per m², followed by roller from about R450 and aluminium from about R550. Aluminium gives hard-wearing light control that suits kitchens, bathrooms and rentals.

Motorised blinds cost the blind plus about R1,800–R3,500 per motor. A 1.5 × 1.2 m roller blind with a motor comes to roughly R2,600–R4,750 fitted in Cape Town.
Are blinds prices the same everywhere in South Africa?
No. The prices on this page are Cape Town supply-and-fit rates. Many national online stores list supply-only prices, with courier delivery and DIY fitting, so compare the fitted price per window rather than the price per blind.
Is the quote really free?
Yes. Capetown Blinds gives a free, no-obligation in-home measure and itemised quote anywhere in the greater Cape Town area, so you get an exact price before you commit.
Why is one quote so much cheaper than another?
The two quotes may cover different things. Compare installation, safety devices and the specified fabric grade in each itemised quote; an itemised per-window quote makes the difference obvious, which is why Capetown Blinds quotes that way.
