Thank you so much for my amazing roller blind. Originally I purchased a Venetian blind but it was not the right thing to block the sun. I have now changed over to a roller blind that is partially sheer and it is amazing.

Questions answered
Who is the best place to buy sheer roller blinds online in South Africa?

Your sheer roller 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 sheer roller blind at night?
Yes. A sheer gives privacy by day, but with the lights on at night, people can see in. For night privacy, choose a Duo Roller, which Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings highly recommends: a sheer and a blockout blind on one bracket.
What is the best blind for keeping a sea or garden view?
A sheer roller, also called a sunscreen or mesh blind. It cuts glare and heat while you still see out. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings knows coastal homes on the Garden Route and delivers across South Africa.
Who should not buy a sheer roller blind?
Need a dark bedroom? Choose a blockout roller. Need privacy at night? Choose a duo 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 a recess fit, measure three widths and three drops; give us the smallest width and the longest drop. We deduct 10 mm from the width only (10 mm in total). 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 a full sample book, not off-cuts. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings sends one on request with orders over R8,000. If nothing suits, you get a full refund with no fees.
The details
What is a sheer roller blind?
- A sunscreen fabric on a roller tube that softens sunlight and cuts glare while you still see out.
- Also called a sunscreen, mesh or sheer blind. It gives privacy by day, not at night with the lights on.
- Available in 10 colours in 3% and 5% openness, with a no-drill option for renters.
- Made to measure up to 3000mm wide, from R610 per blind with free delivery.
Every order is checked by our team before it is made.
How do sheer roller blinds work?
A sunscreen fabric rolls onto an aluminium tube, and a steel chain lowers and raises it. The open weave lets daylight in and keeps the view while it cuts glare and heat. 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.
Which sheer roller blind colour gives the clearest view?
Darker sheers give the clearer view; lighter sheers soften it more. Our sheers come in 3% and 5% openness. The percentage is how open the weave is, so 3% lets less light through than 5%.
