The range
Twelve ways to control light, heat and privacy
Every product is made to measure per window and fitted by the same team that took the measurements — from the everyday roller to the shutter that shades a west-facing balcony.
Sunscreen Roller Blinds
Cuts glare and UV off the water while keeping the harbour or city view you're paying rates for.
Explore
Day & Night Blinds
Alternating sheer and solid bands you slide to dial privacy against light — the fix for a window facing straight into the block across the road.
Explore
Aluminium Venetian Blinds
Powder-coated slats that shrug off sea air — our default for kitchens, bathrooms and anything catching promenade spray.
Explore
Cellular (Honeycomb) Blinds
Air-cell fabric that adds real insulation to single-glazed apartment windows, against both the wind chill and the afternoon heat.
Explore
Vertical Blinds
Wide sliding balcony doors covered edge-to-edge — vanes tilt for light control, then draw fully aside for access.
Explore
Panel Glide Blinds
Wide flat panels on a multi-channel track — the contemporary answer for the full-height glazing common in newer blocks.
Explore
Skylight & Shaped Blinds
Angled glazing and the odd triangular window that penthouse layouts produce — measured precisely and made to fit.
Explore
Concealed / Recessed Blinds
A ceiling pocket planned at fit-out stage so the blind vanishes when open — a clean line against floor-to-ceiling glass.
Explore
Roller Shutters
Aluminium slats rolling down outside the glass for full blockout, full privacy and real relief on a west-facing balcony. Shading shutters, not security-rated — a different product, available on request.
Explore
Folding-Arm Awnings
Retractable shade over a balcony or terrace, gone in seconds when the south-easter picks up. Motor plus wind sensor as standard.
Explore
Motorised Blinds & Automation
Wall-switch, remote or app control with sun and wind sensors — no cords on a wall of glass three storeys up.

In a Green Point apartment
Fitted to the glass, not just the window
Fabric and hardware chosen for a precinct that gets full sun, sea wind and salt air in the same afternoon.
A bedroom blockout that holds its own against a bright harbour-facing elevation.
Living spaces built around the view — shaded on demand, not shut away behind curtains.
Hardware chosen to survive salt air, not just look good on day one.
Why Green Point specifies differently
Built for the glass, the wind and the body corporate
Green Point rebuilt itself hard around the 2010 World Cup and the V&A Marina developments that followed, and the newer stock shows it: floor-to-ceiling glazing on the Stadium-facing and marina-facing elevations, open-plan living rooms with almost no wall to hang a curtain rail from, and balconies that catch the wind straight off Table Bay. That's a different brief to a suburban house — the glass is bigger, the exposure is harsher, and there's usually a building manager to work around before a consultant even reaches your door.
Most of what we fit here goes into sectional-title apartments and penthouses, not free-standing houses, which brings its own rules: body corporates typically specify a uniform blind backing colour visible from outside, and lift bookings or access arrangements need confirming before the measure visit. We build both into the process rather than treating them as surprises on install day.
01
Floor-to-ceiling glass, newer stock
Stadium-era and marina blocks carry big glazing with almost no wall for a curtain rail — sunscreen and blockout roller combinations do the real work here.
02
The south-easter, funnelled between towers
Exterior products — awnings, zip screens, shutters — get a wind-rated spec and, ideally, a sensor that retracts them before a proper Cape Doctor blow.
03
Salt air off the Atlantic and the marina
Powder-coated aluminium and sealed cassettes as standard on anything facing the promenade — cheap steel hardware seizes within a season or two up here.
04
Density, and body corporate colour rules
Stacked apartments mean overlook from the block across the road, and most schemes specify a uniform blind backing colour — we check both before we quote.
How it works
Four steps, one visit
No showroom trip, no online guesswork — a consultant comes to you with samples and a tape measure.
01
Enquire
Tell us the rooms, the window count and what's bothering you about the light — chat, form or a quick call.
02
Free in-home measure
A consultant visits with fabric and slat samples, works around your building's access and lift booking rules, and measures every window precisely.
03
Written quote
A per-window quote, options itemised, so you can see exactly what you're paying for before you commit to anything.
04
Made & fitted
Everything is made to order for your windows, then fitted cleanly by the same team, with the operation demonstrated on the day.
And the cost question, answered before the visit rather than after it: R1,000 to R7,500 covers a square metre of shading in this precinct, hung, depending on the product and whether it is motorised. A minimum kicks in on small windows, and the figure for each of yours comes off the free measure, on paper.
About this service
A measuring and fitting service, described plainly
What we make, how a job runs, and where we run it.
Green Point Blinds makes and fits window shading across Green Point and the apartment belt beside it — Mouille Point, Sea Point, the City Bowl and Fresnaye. Roller blinds, day and night blinds, panel glide blinds and motorised systems are each built to the sizes measured at your own openings. In a precinct where half the glass runs floor to ceiling and no two buildings share a reveal detail, that is the only way to get a blind that hangs straight.
The route through a job is always the same. You send the enquiry form or open the chat, and one of our expert consultants will contact you shortly to arrange a free in-home measure. That visit works around your building’s access and lift rules, measures every opening precisely, and settles fabric, openness and control room by room against the light that side of the building actually gets. A written quote follows with each window itemised, and nothing is manufactured until you approve it. Then it is made to those measurements and fitted by the same team, with the operation demonstrated on the day.
The details you send are used to arrange that call-back and for nothing else, handled under POPIA.

Questions
Before you book the measure
Do you handle building access and body corporate rules, or is that on me?
We handle it. Most Green Point schemes need a lift booking and a building manager's sign-off before we can measure or install, and many specify a uniform blind backing colour visible from outside — we confirm both with your body corporate or managing agent before we quote.
Will blinds and exterior shading actually cope with the wind and salt air here?
That's exactly what we spec for. Powder-coated aluminium and sealed cassettes as standard on anything facing the promenade or marina, and exterior products like awnings and zip screens get a wind-rated fitting with a sensor recommended so they retract automatically before a south-easter blow.
Are the cords and chains safe for small children?
Chain and cord tensioners that anchor the loop to the wall are fitted as standard practice. For nurseries and kids' rooms we'll talk you through wand-tilt, cordless and motorised options — motorisation removes cords and chains entirely.
Do you cover apartments and penthouses, or mostly houses?
Mostly apartments and penthouses — that's most of Green Point. We're used to lift bookings and building access rules, and we plan the visit around them rather than around a free-standing driveway.
How long from quote to fitted blinds?
Everything is made to order once you approve your written quote. Your consultant will confirm the exact lead time for your fabrics and sizes at that point, rather than quoting a generic number that may not apply to your job.
Is the free measure really free, with no obligation?
Yes. The in-home measure and the written per-window quote that follows are both free. You're welcome to take the quote away and think it over.
