No Drill Blinds -- Made to Measure in South Africa
Custom Blinds supplies made-to-measure no drill blinds -- the most popular product in the entire Custom Blinds range. No drill blinds use a tension-mount clip system that grips securely inside your window frame without any drilling, screws, or tools. They are the solution for renters, apartment dwellers, students, and anyone who cannot or prefers not to make permanent modifications to their walls or window frames. Available in both blockout (room-darkening) and translucent fabric options, no drill blinds cover every room in your home. Every blind is manufactured to your exact measurements. Production takes 5–7 working days, excluding transit times and outside peak seasons. Free nationwide delivery is included. Custom Blinds sources roller blind components from Somfy, Hunter Douglas, and Coulisse. Prices start from R610 per blind.
Who No Drill Blinds Are For
No drill blinds are designed for anyone who needs window coverings without damage. Renters are the primary audience -- the tension clip system installs in seconds and removes without leaving a single mark, protecting your deposit. But they are equally popular with homeowners who want a non-permanent option, parents who want to add blinds to a nursery quickly, office tenants fitting out leased commercial space, and residents of heritage properties where drilling is restricted. Students in university accommodation and young professionals in shared housing love them because the blinds travel with you to your next home. Choose blockout fabric for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms where maximum room darkening is the priority, or translucent fabric for living areas, kitchens, and home offices where soft filtered light and daytime privacy are the priority.
How They Work
The no drill tension clip uses spring-loaded pressure to grip the inside of your window frame -- no screws, no adhesive, no damage. The clip requires a minimum frame depth of 40mm. Once the clips are seated, the roller blind headrail clicks into place and operates identically to a standard roller blind. Blockout fabric rolls down to significantly reduce incoming light (some light may enter around frame edges), while translucent fabric filters sunlight into a soft glow and reduces visibility from outside. A beaded chain controls the blind, and the fabric retracts neatly around the aluminium headrail tube when not in use. Installation takes under 60 seconds per blind, and removal is just as quick -- unclip and go.
What Makes Custom Blinds Different
Custom Blinds has completed over 8,000 installations since 2010. Every no-drill order is reviewed by an expert before production to verify measurements and confirm the tension clips will suit your window frame. The Custom Fit Guarantee provides extra confidence: if your blind arrives too big, Custom Blinds will trim it for free; if it arrives too small, a remake is available at a reduced price. A blind damaged in transit may qualify for a free replacement or remake. Custom Blinds supplies roller blinds from established manufacturers including Somfy, Hunter Douglas, and Coulisse. Our Custom Lifestyle Shutters range is manufactured in Cape Town. These supplier relationships provide access to established roller-blind mechanisms and fabrics with live South African pricing.

Fabric and Colour Range
No drill blinds are available in two fabric types. The blockout option is a coated polyester that is room-darkening — the fabric blocks light significantly, with some light possible around the frame edges depending on fit — making it ideal for bedrooms and nurseries. The translucent option is a mesh polyester that filters harsh sunlight into gentle diffused light while providing daytime privacy. Both fabrics are available in a wide range of colours including whites, ivories, greys, linens, charcoals, and deeper tones. The fabrics are UV-resistant and easy to maintain -- a wipe with a damp cloth keeps them looking fresh. Collections include the Bedford and Riviera ranges.
Comparing No Drill Blinds to Other Options
Standard roller blinds with screw-in brackets start from R610 and are a lower-priced option if you own your home and can drill. No-drill blockout roller blinds and no-drill sheer roller blinds are specific variants within the no drill range if you already know which fabric type you need. For day-and-night flexibility without drilling, you could pair a no-drill blockout in the bedroom with a no-drill translucent in the living room. If you want both fabrics on a single window, a duo roller system combines sheer and blockout on one headrail but requires bracket installation. Honeycomb blinds add cellular insulation but also require brackets.
Installation
No tools required. No drill required. No screws required. The tension clip snaps onto the inside of your window frame using spring pressure. Your frame must have a minimum depth of 40mm. The roller blind headrail then clicks into the clips. Total installation time is under 60 seconds per blind. When you move out, unclip the blinds, pack them in the original packaging, and reinstall at your new address. A printable measuring guide is available on the website, and the Custom Blinds team verifies every order before it enters production. Online orders are self-install and ship nationwide. If you are on the Garden Route (Knysna, George, Plettenberg Bay, Sedgefield, Mossel Bay, or Wilderness) and require professional installation, email sales@customblinds.co.za before ordering to confirm availability.
