Blinds & motorisation for Raslouw

What Raslouw homes are like

Raslouw has spent the last while turning over from smallholdings into secure clusters and freehold developments, so the housing stock is genuinely mixed — the odd remaining large plot with an older, individually built house, sitting a street or two from a brand-new gated development with a repeating floor plan. Each end of that spectrum wants a slightly different conversation about windows.

Which products suit Raslouw

On the newer cluster developments, sunscreen and blockout roller blinds are the fast, practical answer across a repeating window schedule, with motorisation worth considering on any communal or hard-to-reach opening. Where a stand still carries an older smallholding-era house, we're more often looking at aluminium venetians for kitchens and bathrooms, or a cellular blind where an original window is losing heat overnight. For anyone with a stoep or outdoor entertainment area left over from the property's smallholding days, a folding-arm awning turns that space back into somewhere you'd actually use through summer.

Security-conscious by nature

New security estates in this belt tend to have their own aesthetic requirements for anything visible from outside. Exterior products — awnings, roller shutters, external venetians — are specified in appropriate colours and profiles, with documentation available for an owners' committee submission if your development requires one.
