Family & Entertaining

Built for a house that’s always half indoors, half out

Walk through a new Fourways build and the pattern repeats: an open-plan kitchen and living area, a bank of stacking or sliding doors, and a patio that’s really just another room with a roof. That layout is why the window brief here is different from an older suburb — it’s rarely one small window per wall, it’s one very large opening the whole family lives around.

It means the blind has to do more work. Blockout in the kids’ rooms so bedtime in December actually works. Sunscreen across the living areas so the afternoon sun doesn’t bleach the couch or blind whoever’s at the stove. And outside, a folding-arm awning or zip screen that turns the patio into a usable room from October through to the last braai of autumn.

“The blind isn’t decorating the window — in a house like this, it’s managing the room.”

Why Fourways Is Different

What the estate belt actually needs

Fourways Gardens, Cedar Lakes and the wider William Nicol corridor are still building — which means most of the enquiries we get here are for windows nobody has ever dressed before.

  • 01New-build stock keeps arriving across the estate belt, and most of it means wide aluminium-framed sliding or stacking doors onto a patio or pool deck — not a run of small punched windows.
  • 02Open-plan living rooms facing north and west catch the sharp end of the highveld afternoon sun in summer — the glare-on-the-TV, heat-on-the-couch problem sunscreen and motorised rollers are built to solve.
  • 03October to March brings sudden highveld thunderstorms with real wind behind them — any awning or exterior screen going in here should carry a wind sensor as standard, not as an upsell.
  • 04With so many young families in the estates, cordless and motorised control in kids’ rooms is the norm we quote to, not the exception.

How It Works

Four steps, one consultant, no surprises

01

Enquire

Chat, call or the form below — tell us the rooms, roughly how many windows, and your area.

02

Free in-home measure

A consultant visits with samples, measures every window precisely, and talks through fabric, openness and motorisation for each room’s actual light.

03

Written quote

Made-to-measure pricing per window, every option itemised — nothing verbal, nothing vague. As a rough guide, blinds and awnings across the estate belt land between R1,000 and R7,500 per square metre installed, with the product and motorisation deciding where; small windows carry a minimum charge, and the exact figure follows the measure.

04

Made & fitted

Manufactured to order and professionally installed — levelled, tested, and demonstrated before we leave.

About This Service

A measure-and-fit blinds service for the Fourways estate belt

Fourways Blinds is a made-to-measure window shading service working across Fourways, Lonehill, Broadacres and Cedar Lakes, Helderfontein Estate and Dainfern. Nothing here is sold off a shelf: every roller blind, day/night blind, motorised system and patio awning is manufactured to the sizes taken at your house, for the exact opening it is going on.

The order of events never changes. You enquire, by chat or the form, and one of our expert consultants will contact you shortly to book a free in-home measure. At that visit every window is measured properly and the fabric, openness and control options are worked through room by room against the light each one actually gets. A written quote follows, itemised per window, so you can see what each blind costs before anything is ordered. Once you approve it, everything is made to those measurements and fitted by the installers, levelled and tested before they leave.

Your details are used only to arrange that call-back and are handled under POPIA — not sold, not passed on, not added to a mailing list.

Questions

Before you book the measure

Do you only work with new-build homes?

No — we fit blinds and awnings in brand-new estate builds and in older Fourways-area homes alike. The free measure covers whichever windows you need, new or original to the house.

How does the free measure and quote actually work?

You enquire with rooms, window count and product interest. A consultant visits at a time that suits you, measures every window precisely and talks through fabric and control options. You then get a written, itemised quote per window before anything is ordered — no obligation.

What’s the real difference between blockout and sunscreen fabric?

Blockout stops light completely — the right call for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms. Sunscreen is an open-weave mesh (typically 3–10% openness) that cuts glare and UV while keeping the view through in the day; at night with lights on inside, it reverses and you become visible out, so bedrooms usually want a second blind or a double roller alongside it.

Are motorised blinds worth it over a manual chain?

For a wide sliding door or a wall of glass above a stair void, motorisation is close to essential — chains struggle with the span and the weight. For a single standard window it’s a lifestyle upgrade rather than a necessity: one remote or app for every blind in the house, schedules that open bedroom blinds at sunrise, and sun sensors that drop shading automatically on the hot elevations.

Is there a proper child-safe option for kids’ rooms?

Yes — motorisation is the gold standard here, since there’s no cord or chain to reach at all. Where a corded or chained blind is used elsewhere in the house, a chain tensioner anchoring the loop taut to the wall is standard practice on every install. Ask about child-safe controls at your measure and we’ll spec accordingly.

Will a patio awning actually survive a highveld storm?

A motorised awning with a wind sensor will auto-retract before gusts get dangerous, which is the responsible spec for this area’s storm season. Worth being honest though: an awning is a shade product, not a rain product — light drizzle at a pitch is fine, but it isn’t built for standing water or a full downpour.
