Blackout Blinds Options We Supply
Blackout Roller Blinds
A single coated or PVC-backed fabric panel that rolls down flat for the cleanest, most affordable blackout — the most popular choice for bedrooms.
Blackout Roman Blinds
Soft lined fabric folds with a blackout backing, for blackout that looks like a designer curtain in a main bedroom or lounge.
Side Channels & Pelmets
Aluminium side channels and a top pelmet close the light gaps around the blind for true, edge-to-edge darkness in nurseries and media rooms.
Cordless & Motorised
Child-safe cordless and motorised blackout blinds with no hanging cords, the safest option for children's rooms.

Blackout Blinds — Frequently Asked Questions
Do blackout blinds block all light?
Blackout fabric blocks effectively all light through the blind itself; daylight only leaks in at the small gaps along the sides and top. Add aluminium side channels and a pelmet and you get near-total, edge-to-edge darkness, which is what we recommend for nurseries and media rooms.
How much do blackout blinds cost in Cape Town?
Blackout roller blinds start from around R550 per m² and blackout Roman blinds from roughly R1,000 per m². Pricing depends on the fabric, the size and whether you add side channels; every quote is exact and free after we measure.
Which blinds come in blackout?
Roller, Roman and vertical blinds are all available in blackout fabrics. Roller is the most popular and most affordable for bedrooms, while Roman gives a softer, more decorative finish.
Are blackout blinds good for the Cape Town heat?
Yes. A blackout fabric blocks direct sun and the radiant heat that comes with it, so a west-facing Cape Town bedroom stays cooler and darker through the afternoon. Light-coloured backings reflect the most heat.
Can I get child-safe blackout blinds?
Yes. Capetown Blinds supplies cordless and motorised blackout blinds with no hanging cords, the safest option for nurseries and children's bedrooms.
