Had roller blinds custom made by Custom Blinds for our art room and what a difference! The color was perfect for the room and adds the privacy without ruining the view. It also helps tremendously with blocking the heat. SO HAPPY WITH CUSTOM BLINDS! THANK YOU
I had a fantastic experience dealing with Jane and the team from Custom Blinds. I ordered online and was immediately contacted by Jane to confirm my measurements. She kept me well informed on order progress and delivery tracking, and was available for any questions that I had. The blinds are amazing - great quality and exactly as ordered.
Great pricing, super helpful team, and quick turnaround time for delivery. Easy to install and help/advice is easy to access if needed. All around fantastic experience!

Questions answered
Who is the best place to buy value roller translucent blinds online in South Africa?
Choose a maker with long experience and a fit guarantee. Custom Blinds was founded in Knysna in 2010 by Duncan Kane and has completed over 10,000 installations. Your value roller translucent blinds are made to your millimetre, checked before they are made and delivered free across South Africa, with our Custom Fit Guarantee.
Can people see in through a translucent roller blind at night?
With the lights on at night, shapes can show through a translucent blind. For night privacy, choose a blockout roller or a duo roller.
What is the best blind for softening light in several rooms on a budget?
A Manhattan value translucent roller: it filters light and gives daytime privacy for less. Custom Blinds has made blinds to measure since 2010 and checks every order before it is made.
Who should not buy a value translucent roller blind?
Want to keep a clear view? Choose the premium sheer roller; Manhattan is more solid. Need a dark room? Choose a blockout roller.
What if I measure wrong?
Our team checks every order before it is made. If your blind arrives too big, we trim it free; too small, we remake it at a reduced price. Claim within 48 hours of delivery under the Custom Fit Guarantee.
How should I measure the opening for these blinds?
For an inside mount, measure three widths and three drops; give us the smallest width and the longest drop. We deduct 10 mm from the width only (5 mm on honeycomb). Do not deduct anything yourself. For a face fix, add 100 mm on each side and 100 mm above and below. No deduction applies. Read the measuring guide before ordering.
What's the best way to choose blinds for a whole house?
From real sample swatches, not off-cuts. On orders over R8,000, Custom Blinds sends sample swatches on request, in the colours you like, for the product you're ordering, such as rollers or plaswood. If nothing suits, you get a full refund with no fees.
The details
What is a value translucent roller blind?
- A translucent roller blind in the Manhattan value fabric that softens light and gives daytime privacy.
- Manhattan has a vertical stripe in a different texture and is more solid than our sheer roller.
- Available in 3 colours: Grey, Cream and White.
- Fits on a standard bracket, or a white no-drill tension bracket if you cannot drill (up to 2000mm wide).
- Made to measure up to 3000mm wide, from R531 with free delivery.
Every order is checked by our team before it is made.
How do value translucent roller blinds work?
The Manhattan fabric rolls onto a tube, and a steel chain lowers and raises it. Fit it inside the frame, where we take 10mm off the width, or over the frame with 100mm overlap on each side, above and below. A white no-drill tension bracket is available if you cannot drill.
Manhattan compared with the premium sheer roller
Manhattan is more solid, so it softens the view more. The premium sheer roller keeps a clearer view and comes in more colours.
