Recess or Face Fit
| Fit | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Inside the recess | Neat, shows off the frame | Needs depth; small gaps at the sides |
| Face fit on the wall | Better light cover, makes windows look larger | Blind is visible on the wall |
| Ceiling fit | Full-height look for doors and tall glass | Needs a solid ceiling fixing |
Mounting Surfaces
| Surface | What the installer needs |
|---|---|
| Brick or concrete | Masonry drill and plugs |
| Drywall or ceiling board | Hollow-wall anchors or fixing into a stud or brandering |
| Aluminium frames | Self-tapping screws or a clip system |
| Tiles | Tile bit and care to avoid cracking |
Common Fitting Problems
- Handles or burglar bars stopping the blind from dropping.

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
- Number of blinds and the blind type.
- Wall or ceiling surface.
- Height and access, such as ladders or scaffold.
- Removal and disposal of old blinds.
On the Day

Cape Town Considerations
- Complexes. Some bodies corporate have rules about blinds visible from outside. Check before fitting.
- Rentals. Get the landlord's permission before drilling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is installation included in blind quotes?
Often, but not always. Online and DIY blinds usually exclude fitting.
Will an installer fit blinds I bought elsewhere?
Some will. They may not guarantee blinds they did not supply.
Can blinds be fitted to aluminium window frames?
Yes, with the right screws or clips. Some people prefer wall fixing to avoid drilling the frame.
Do I need to be home during fitting?
Usually, to give access and check each blind at handover.
