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

  • Timber type, slat width and finish.
  • Tapes, valance and cord options.
  • Blind size: large blinds may need splitting because of weight.
  • Wall type and fixings.

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.

Cape Town Considerations

  • Winter damp. Rooms that get condensation on the glass are hard on timber. Consider plaswood there.
  • Western sun. Afternoon sun can fade finishes over time. Ask about UV-stable finishes.

Getting Wooden Blind Quotes

Ask each supplier what the slats are made of, since "wood look" is not the same as timber. Compare quotes through Window Blinds Cape Town.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can wooden blinds go in a bathroom?

It is not recommended. Steam and splashes can warp timber. Plaswood or aluminium are safer choices.

Are wooden blinds heavy?

Heavier than aluminium but usually lighter than faux wood of the same size.

How do I clean wooden blinds?

Dust with a dry cloth or soft brush. Avoid soaking them.

What is basswood?

A light, fine-grained hardwood commonly used for blind slats.

Can wooden blinds be stained to match furniture?

Most ranges offer several stains and paints. Ask for a sample before ordering.
