Raslouw, Centurion — recently fitted

The range

Every window in the house, specified once.

No roller-blind-only shortcuts. From the nursery to the braai patio, we carry the full range so each opening gets the right product the first time — not a compromise fitted twice.

A charcoal open-weave sunscreen roller blind lowered two-thirds of the way down a wide north-facing living-room window in Raslouw, with clipped hedging and a face-brick estate boundary wall visible through the glass

Roller blinds

Blockout for the nursery, sunscreen for the view — the everyday fix for new-build glass.

Day & night blinds

Alternating sheer and opaque bands — privacy or view, dialled in from the same blind.

Venetian blinds

Aluminium for wet rooms, timber for warmth — tilt for glare-free light or full privacy.

A pleated skylight blind running in side rails and slid halfway across a flat rooflight above a Raslouw upstairs landing, half the ceiling opening shaded and half showing hard midday Highveld sky

Skylight & shaped blinds

Gables, arches and roof glazing — the windows nobody else quotes properly.

Roller shutters

Sun, heat and blackout in one motorised system — hail season covered too.

Shading, not security. The job our roller shutters do is sun, heat and glare, handled outside the glass. Security rating is a different product, and we will quote for it if you ask.

Folding-arm awnings

Retractable patio shade with a wind sensor as standard — highveld storms don't wait.

The Raslouw Light & Glass Field Guide.

Before you spend a cent, read what the Highveld sun actually does to a new-build estate home here — elevation by elevation, with the real angles, the November hail season, and which blind we'd fit on each wall (and honestly, what each choice costs you in return). It's the homework we'd normally only do at your house, written down and given away.

Read the Field Guide → Skip to booking a measure

Inside the guide

  • What the sun does to north, south, east & west glass by season
  • Which product wins on each elevation — with the honest trade-off
  • A two-minute ballpark tool, or a free on-site measure — your call

Genuinely useful first. The booking is only ever an option, never the price of reading.

Why Raslouw is different

Pegged, built, and specified once.

Raslouw sits on Centurion's western growth edge, where a belt of old smallholdings has been steadily rezoned and rebuilt into secure new estates and boomed-gate complexes. Almost every home here is either brand new or mid-renovation, which means windows are usually standard-height, floor-to-ceiling, or the oddly proportioned architectural openings that off-the-shelf blinds simply don't fit.

Highveld summers push long, harsh afternoon sun straight into the open-plan living areas new floor plans are built around — usually facing the garden or braai side. That same season brings sudden highveld thunderstorms with real gusts, which is why any exterior product we fit here — awnings, external venetians, zip screens — goes out with a wind sensor as standard, not as an optional extra.

Several of Raslouw's complexes and estates carry architectural or aesthetic guidelines covering exterior colours and profiles. We work in finishes that sit comfortably within those rules and can supply the specification sheet your body corporate or HOA asks for.

Every Raslouw stand starts the same way — pegged, then built. We plan your shading the same way: room by room, before a single blind is cut.

How it works

Four steps. One visit does most of it.

The consultation happens at the windows themselves, so there is no showroom drive and no guessed sizes.

  1. 01

    Tell us about your home

    Two minutes on the enquiry form — rooms, rough sizes, what's bothering you about the light.

  2. 02

    Free in-home measure

    A consultant comes to your Raslouw home, measures every opening precisely and brings samples to view in your own light.

  3. 03

    Written quote, per window

    Itemised and honest, with no vague package pricing and no pressure to decide on the spot.

  4. 04

    Made & fitted

    Manufactured to your exact openings and installed by our own team, with a working demonstration before we leave.

And the cost, said up front: one square metre of shading on a new-build here runs R1,000 through R7,500, put up, set by the product and by whether it is motorised. A base charge applies to small windows, and your own per-window figure comes out of the free measure on paper.

About this service

What this is, in plain words.

Raslouw Blinds measures, makes and fits window and patio shading across Raslouw and the estates beside it — Eldoraigne, Blue Valley Golf Estate, Centurion Golf Estate and Southdowns Estate. Roller blinds, aluminium and timber venetians, motorised systems and folding-arm awnings are all built to the sizes taken at your own openings. On a new build that matters more than people expect: the plans and the finished opening are rarely the same to the millimetre, and a blind ordered off a drawing is a blind that does not sit right.

Every job goes the same way. You send the form or open the chat, and one of our expert consultants will contact you shortly to arrange a free in-home measure. At that visit each opening is measured precisely, samples are viewed in your own light, and fabric, control and motorisation are settled room by room. A written quote follows, itemised per window with no package pricing, and nothing is manufactured until you say yes. Then it is made to those measurements and fitted by our own team, with a working demonstration before we leave.

The details you send are used only to arrange that call-back, handled under POPIA.

Questions

Asked at almost every measure.

Will your exterior products pass our estate's aesthetics committee?

We specify clean profiles and estate-appropriate colours, and can supply the product documentation most bodies corporate and HOAs ask owners to submit. Well-specified exterior shading is approved routinely in Raslouw's complexes and estates.

How quickly can you fit blinds in a brand-new home?

We can measure as soon as your walls are plastered and glazing is in — often before transfer. Made-to-measure production and fitting is then scheduled around your move-in date, not the other way round.

Is motorisation worth it, or a gimmick?

On a reachable standard window, it's a comfort upgrade. On wide sliders, stairwell voids and multi-blind walls of new-build glass, it's the difference between blinds you use daily and blinds you don't. Wind-sensored awnings are genuine storm protection, not a luxury.

What if my windows aren't standard sizes?

Most new architectural builds aren't. Skylights, gables, oversized sliders and floor-to-ceiling glass are exactly what made-to-measure means — every blind is cut and built to your actual opening, not a shelf size.

What does the quote cost?

Nothing. The measure, the samples, the consultation and the written per-window quote are all free, with no obligation to proceed.

Are your blinds safe for young children?

Chain tensioners are fitted as standard on every corded blind, and we'll steer nurseries and kids' rooms toward cordless, wand or motorised control with nothing dangling to reach.
