| Style | How it works | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Woven roller or roll-up | Rolls up from the bottom | Casual look |
| Roman-style woven | Lifts into folds | More tailored |
| Slatted bamboo venetian | Tilting bamboo slats | Light control like a venetian |
Privacy and Lining
- Unlined. Filters light but you can often see through at night with lights on.
- Privacy lining. Blocks the view through the weave.
- Blockout lining. Cuts most light through the blind.
Suitable Rooms and Uses
- Lounges, sunrooms and covered stoeps.
- Holiday homes and rooms with natural finishes.
- Not for wet areas: natural fibres can mould.
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Natural texture | Needs lining for night privacy |

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. Only one current published source gave bamboo prices, so treat this range as a rough guide.
What Changes the Price
- Weave, material and style.
- Lining.
- Size and control type.
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
- Humidity. Natural fibre can mark or mould in rooms that stay damp in winter.
- Outdoors. Indoor bamboo blinds are not built for rain and wind. For stoeps exposed to weather, see outdoor blinds.
