| Blind | Moisture | Cleaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminium venetian | Good | Wipe or wash | Low cost |
| Plaswood venetian | Good, check product | Wipe | Wood look |
| PVC or coated roller | Good | Wipe | No slats to clean |
| Fabric roman or wood | Poor | Hard | Best avoided near the stove or sink |
Positioning
- Keep fabric and cords away from the hob and gas flames.
- Over a sink, choose a blind you can operate without leaning over taps, or a motor.
- Recess fit behind a tap only if the blind clears it.
Cleaning
Grease settles on slats and fabric. Wipe regularly with mild soap. See the supplier's care guide before using degreasers.

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
- Material and size.
- Recess or face fit.
- Chain, wand or motor.
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
- Winter condensation. Kitchens with poor ventilation get wet glass in winter. Avoid timber.
- Sunny sinks. Screen roller fabric cuts glare over a sink while keeping the garden view.
