Roller Shutters
Sun, glare and total blackout in one motorised system on the outside of the glass.
Shading, not security. Our roller shutters are made for sun, heat and glare control. They are not security-rated shutters — that's a different product, quoted separately on request.

How we specify for the Southern Suburbs
One corridor, three different windows
Ask an estate agent where the Southern Suburbs start and stop and you'll get four different answers — Observatory to Muizenberg, roughly, sheltered along the whole way by the same mountain spine. That shelter is the one fact every street here shares. Everything else — how wet the winter gets, what era the windows are, whether an exterior change needs a heritage sign-off first — changes block by block, and it's what we actually measure against rather than the suburb name on the listing.
01
Sun over the canopy, not through it
At Cape Town's latitude the summer sun sits almost directly overhead at midday and low from the north in winter. The century-old oak avenues planted through this corridor shade most ground-floor glass for much of the year — but they do nothing for upper-storey, gable and dormer windows sitting above the canopy line, which is where the real midday heat load ends up.
02
Distance from the mountain, not the suburb name
Rainfall runs a genuine gradient off the Constantiaberg range — homes tight against the slope carry a noticeably wetter winter than the flatter pockets further out. We ask where a house actually sits relative to the mountain before we spec an exterior product, rather than assuming one "Southern Suburbs" answer covers a corridor this long.
03
Heritage overlay first, product second
Old Wynberg Village carries a formal Heritage Protection Overlay Zone — any visible exterior change, blind fixing included, needs to sit within the City's heritage guidelines before it needs to sit within a spec sheet. We ask the consent question early, not after a product's already been chosen.
04
Three build eras, three glazing briefs
A Wynberg cottage runs small, often original sash and casement openings; a 1940s–50s Plumstead or Diep River home usually carries a single-glazed steel-frame window at a modest scale; a 1950s Bergvliet or Meadowridge Garden-City house tends toward a wider, plainer window on a single storey. Three different measuring briefs, on the same street corridor.
Scroll — the branch draws in, leaf by leaf, one for each pocket of the corridor.

Questions
Honest answers before you commit
Do you cover all of the Southern Suburbs, or just these four areas?
We measure and fit right across the corridor. Wynberg, Plumstead, Diep River and Bergvliet & Meadowridge each get their own page here because their windows, era and rules genuinely differ — but if your street isn't listed, get in touch anyway; the free in-home measure works the same way everywhere.
My home is in the Wynberg Village heritage overlay — can you still fit an exterior product?
Often yes, but the heritage consent question comes first. Old Wynberg Village sits inside a formal City of Cape Town Heritage Protection Overlay Zone, and any visible exterior change needs to sit within those guidelines before we spec a product. We'll flag this at the enquiry stage rather than quote something that can't be approved.
Why do you talk about distance from the mountain instead of just naming my suburb for rain?
Because rainfall genuinely changes across a few hundred metres here. The Constantiaberg range forces winter rain up and over as it approaches, so homes tight against the slope get noticeably more of it than flatter streets further out — even within the same suburb. We ask where your house actually sits before specifying an exterior product's weather rating, rather than assuming the suburb name settles it.
Are your roller shutters security shutters?
No. Our roller shutters are a shading product — sun, glare and heat control on the outside of the glass, with a genuine blackout benefit for bedrooms. They are not security-rated shutters; that's a different product entirely, which we can quote separately if you need it.
What's the difference between sunscreen and blockout roller fabric?
Blockout fabric stops light completely — the right choice for a bedroom where a nap or a night shift can't wait on the sun. Sunscreen fabric, usually 3% or 5% openness, cuts glare and UV while keeping the garden or street visible, which is why it's the default for living areas and any room that doesn't need full dark.
Do you offer child-safe options?
Yes, on every corded or chained product. Cord and chain tensioners are standard on every install, and for nurseries or playrooms we recommend cordless or motorised control — nothing dangling within reach at all.
