Made-to-measure blinds for a mix of old and new.

Kraaifontein is one of the older, larger towns bordering Brackenfell, built out over a longer stretch of time and with a wider mix of housing than the newer pockets up the hill. Some streets carry original stock with older steel-frame windows that need careful, honest measuring rather than assumed standard sizes; others are newer developments on the outskirts with straightforward aluminium openings. Both are common on the same enquiry list some weeks.

That mix is exactly why we measure on site rather than quote from a phone call. An older steel casement window can be slightly out of square in ways a newer aluminium frame never is, and the fixing method for the blind bracket needs to match what's actually there, not what's typical.

What we usually end up quoting here

• Roller blinds — the versatile choice across both older and newer window stock.
• Venetian blinds for older kitchens and bathrooms, where aluminium slats handle damp better than fabric.
• Folding-arm awnings for the same braai-and-patio culture that runs right across this corridor.
• Motorised options where reach or an older, stiffer mechanism makes a manual chain impractical.

We also cover the pockets around Kraaifontein — Sonstraal Heights, Vredekloof, Protea Heights, and Brackenfell itself.
