Ballpark figures, not quotations. Indicative 2026 ranges, rounded, from published South African blinds price guides and Cape Town supplier price pages, checked September 2026. Per-blind figures are mostly supply prices for a window of about 1.2m x 1.5m, and fitting is often extra. Some sources include VAT and some do not, so confirm VAT on every quote. A measure and a written quote set the actual price. See Blinds Prices Cape Town for how these figures were compiled.
What Changes the Price
- Slat width and finish.
- Size and number of blinds.
- Recess or face fitting.
Cleaning Aluminium Blinds
Dust weekly. Wipe slats with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. Kitchen blinds may need a degreaser used as the supplier recommends.
Measuring, Quoting and Fitting
- Measure. The supplier measures each window, checks the frame or wall, and notes obstructions such as handles, burglar bars and cornices.
- Quote. You get a written quote per blind: product, fabric or slat, size, control, fitting and VAT.
- Order. Blinds are made to measure after you accept and pay any deposit. Ask for the lead time in writing.
- Fit. Brackets are fixed, the blinds hung, levelled and tested, and the controls explained.
Cape Town Considerations
- Salt air. Near the coast, ask about the finish and the fittings, as some hardware can corrode.
- Heat. Aluminium slats get warm in direct sun, but tilted slats still help reflect glare.
