As a family we have used Duncan and Custom Blinds many times through the years. The first time was at our home in Brenton on Sea where they installed from vertical blinds to shutters and double rollers. We are now in Amble Ridge Village and have the automated roller blinds that they installed.

Do Vertishades make a room dark?
The dim-out option darkens a room well, but it is not total blackout. For a darker bedroom, choose a blockout roller.
What is the best soft-look blind for a sliding door?
Vertishades: a soft, sheer look that closes for privacy and lets you walk through. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings, fitting blinds since 2010, includes the track and pelmet in the price.
Who should not buy Vertishades?
Need a darker bedroom? Dim-out darkens a room but is not total blackout; choose a blockout roller. On a tighter budget for a sliding door? A vertical blind costs less.
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 are Vertishades?
- A vertical blind of alternating opaque and voile folds that hang from a track.
- Also called Curti Voile. Turn them for three settings: fully open, partly diffused or closed.
- Choose sheer voile for soft daylight or dim-out voile to darken a room; both are the same price.
- Made to measure, from R1,255 with track, pelmet and free delivery.
Every order is checked by our team before it is made.
How do Vertishades work?
The panels hang from a track like a vertical blind. Turn the chain or wand to open them for full light, half-close them for diffused light, or close them for privacy. Walk through between any two panels.
Sheer or dim-out Vertishades: which should I choose?
Sheer voile softens daylight and keeps a view. Dim-out voile darkens the room well but is not total blackout. Pick a white, black or grey track at no extra cost.
Vertishades compared with vertical blinds
A vertical blind covers the same sliding door for less, with a harder look. Vertishades have a soft, sheer look and still close for privacy.
