No-Drill Sheer Roller Blinds — Made to Measure in South Africa
Custom Blinds supplies made-to-measure no-drill sheer roller blinds that install without drilling, screws, or tools. No-drill blinds are the most popular product in the Custom Blinds range, and this sheer variant is ideal for renters and apartment dwellers who want soft filtered light and daytime privacy without risking their deposit. Every blind is manufactured to your exact window dimensions, with 7 to 10 working days production and free nationwide delivery. Custom Blinds sources roller blind components from Somfy, Hunter Douglas, and Coulisse. Prices start from R987 per blind.
Who No-Drill Sheer Roller Blinds Are For
No-drill sheer roller blinds are made for renters, students, and anyone in a home where drilling is not an option. They are perfect for living rooms, kitchens, dining areas, and open-plan spaces where you want to enjoy natural daylight without harsh glare or loss of privacy. Apartment dwellers love them because they soften the light beautifully while keeping curious neighbours from seeing inside. Heritage property residents and office tenants also benefit, as the tension clip system leaves no trace when removed. If you need a bedroom solution with total darkness, the no-drill blockout roller blind is the better choice — but many customers order a mix of both for different rooms in the same home.
How They Work
The no-drill sheer roller blind uses a spring-loaded tension clip that grips the inside of your window frame without any drilling or adhesive. The clip requires a minimum frame depth of 40mm. Once the clips are positioned, the roller blind headrail clicks into place and operates like any standard roller blind. The translucent mesh polyester fabric lowers using a beaded chain, filtering incoming sunlight into a soft ambient glow while reducing visibility from outside. During the day, you can see out through the mesh, but passers-by cannot easily see in. When retracted, the fabric rolls neatly around the aluminium tube, leaving the window fully open.
What Makes Custom Blinds Different
Custom Blinds has completed over 8,000 installations since 2010 and has become the trusted choice for renters across South Africa. Every order is reviewed by an expert before production, ensuring the tension clips will fit your frame and your measurements are correct. The Custom Fit Guarantee means if your blind is too big, Custom Blinds will trim it for free; if it is too small, you receive 5 percent off a replacement. Custom Blinds supplies roller blinds from Somfy, Hunter Douglas, and Coulisse, while manufacturing shutters and awnings in-house. This model delivers world-class roller blind quality at honest South African pricing.

Fabric and Colour Range
The sheer fabric is a translucent mesh polyester that filters harsh sunlight into gentle, diffused light. It provides UV protection for furniture and flooring while preserving your outward view during daylight hours. Available colours include soft whites, warm linens, neutral greys, and contemporary charcoals. The fabric resists dust build-up and cleans easily with a damp cloth, making it a practical choice for busy households.
Comparing No-Drill Sheer Roller Blinds to Other Options
Standard sheer roller blinds with screw-in brackets start from R737 and are the best value if you own your home. No-drill blockout roller blinds provide complete darkness for bedrooms and nurseries using the same tension clip system, also starting from R987. If you want both sheer and blockout functionality, a duo roller pairs both fabrics on a single headrail. Zebra blinds offer a similar day-night experience with alternating sheer and opaque stripes. For added thermal insulation, honeycomb duotone blinds provide both sheer and blockout panels with energy-saving cellular construction.
Installation
No tools, no drill, no screws. The tension clip snaps onto the inside of your window frame in seconds. Your frame needs a minimum 40mm depth for a secure grip. The roller blind headrail then clicks into the clips. Total installation time is under 60 seconds per blind. When you move, unclip the blinds, pack them, and reinstall at your next home. A printable measuring guide is available on the website, and the Custom Blinds team checks every order before production to prevent sizing errors. Garden Route customers in Knysna, George, Plettenberg Bay, Sedgefield, Mossel Bay, and Wilderness can book professional installation with Duncan Kane, the founder of Custom Blinds.
