Vertical Blinds — Frequently Asked Questions
Are vertical blinds good for sliding doors?
Yes — vertical blinds are the classic sliding-door solution. The vanes stack aside to give you a clear doorway, then rotate closed for privacy and shade. We set the stack to open left, right or to both sides depending on how your door works.
How much do vertical blinds cost in Cape Town?
Vertical blinds are very cost-effective for big windows, typically from about R400 per m² for PVC up to around R850 per m² for sunscreen and premium fabrics. A standard sliding door is often in the R900–R1,800 range fitted. We confirm exact pricing after measuring.
Do vertical blind vanes get damaged in the wind?
On a breezy Cape day an open door can swing fabric vanes about. The chain-and-weight system at the base keeps them aligned, and PVC vanes handle draughts better than fabric. We can also advise on vane weight for windy spots.
Can I replace just a few broken vanes?
Yes — individual vanes can be replaced without redoing the whole blind, as long as the fabric is still available. This is part of our blind repair service and is far cheaper than a full replacement.
Which is better — fabric or PVC vertical blinds?
Fabric vanes look softer and warmer and suit lounges and bedrooms; PVC vanes wipe clean and resist moisture, so they win in kitchens, bathrooms and high-traffic areas. Both come in a good colour range.
