What a Roman Blind Includes

  • Face fabric. From the supplier range or, with some makers, your own fabric.
  • Rods or battens. Sewn into the back to form even folds.
  • Lining. Standard, thermal or blockout, depending on the room.
  • Headrail and control. Cord lock, chain or motor.

Fitting, per blindR250 - R1,000 (often about R550)

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

  • Fabric price per metre and pattern matching.
  • Lining type.
  • Width, drop and number of folds.
  • Control type and any motor.

Measuring, Quoting and Fitting

  1. Measure. The supplier measures each window, checks the frame or wall, and notes obstructions such as handles, burglar bars and cornices.
  2. Quote. You get a written quote per blind: product, fabric or slat, size, control, fitting and VAT.
  3. Order. Blinds are made to measure after you accept and pay any deposit. Ask for the lead time in writing.
  4. Fit. Brackets are fixed, the blinds hung, levelled and tested, and the controls explained.

For your own fabric, ask how many metres the maker needs before you buy.

Cape Town Considerations

  • Sun fade. A lining protects the face fabric on sunny windows.
  • Damp rooms. Fabric in rooms that stay damp through winter can mark. Keep the room ventilated.

Getting Roman Blind Quotes

Ask each maker to quote the same fabric and lining so prices are comparable. Compare quotes through Window Blinds Cape Town.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Roman blinds be blockout?

Yes, with a blockout lining. Some light still comes in around the edges.

Can I supply my own fabric?

Many makers accept customer fabric. Ask for the metres needed and whether the fabric is suitable.

How do I clean a Roman blind?

Vacuum lightly on a low setting. For deeper cleaning, follow the fabric care label or use a professional cleaner.

Are Roman blinds suitable for a kitchen?

They can mark from cooking grease and steam. A wipe-clean blind is usually more practical.
