Made to the room

Every window on the order is measured, not estimated

Steyn City homes rarely have a single "standard" opening — double-volume voids, sliding-door walls, angled clerestory glass above the stairs. A tape measure and a guess doesn't cut it here, so we don't work that way.

A consultant measures every window on the visit, discusses fabric and openness for that room's light, and leaves you with a written quote itemised per opening — not a single lump-sum number to take on faith.

Why Steyn City

Built for a mega-estate still being built

Steyn City is one of the biggest continuous developments in the north of Johannesburg — which changes what a window-treatment job here actually looks like.

Two thousand acres of new build

Steyn City is still growing — phase after phase of new homes going up around the golf course and parkland. Most arrive with the double-volume glass and open-plan living the estate is known for, and most need window treatments specified before move-in, not retrofitted after.

Glass walls, west sun

Wide sliding doors and floor-to-ceiling glazing look spectacular over the fairway — until three or four o'clock, when a west-facing room turns into a greenhouse. Sunscreen roller fabric and external venetians solve it without giving up the view.

Highveld storms, real wind loads

Summer thunderstorms roll in fast and hard on the Highveld. Every exterior product we spec for an estate deck or entertainment area — awning, zip screen, external venetian — gets a wind sensor as standard, not an optional extra.

Estate access, planned visits

Steyn City runs on visitor pre-registration and access control at the gate. We build that into the measure and install appointment so the day runs smoothly, without you having to manage the estate's side of it.

The Steyn City Glass & Parkland Field Guide

We did the homework for this estate and wrote it down: what the Highveld sun does to a wall of glass here through the year, which of your four walls suffers when, and which shading actually earns its place on each — including where each product loses to the alternative.

  • The sun's real angles here, December against June
  • North, east, west and south — and the double-volume void
  • Six recommendations with the trade-off attached to each
  • What the estate's architectural guidelines mean for exterior shading

How it works

Four steps, start to fitted

01

Enquire

Tell us the rooms, roughly how many windows, and what's driving the shade — glare, privacy, heat, or wind on the deck.

02

Free in-home measure

A consultant visits with fabric and slat samples, measures every opening precisely, and talks through motorisation for the wide spans.

03

Written quote

A per-window quote with options itemised — fabric, mount type, manual or motorised. No pressure, no showroom trip.

04

Made & fitted

Everything is made to order, then installed cleanly with a full operation demo before the team leaves.

Questions

Honest answers, before you book

Can you actually cover a double-volume glass wall?

Yes. Wide spans get split with a clean central join line, or several blinds are linked and motorised so one control runs them together. Which approach suits your wall gets discussed at the measure, not guessed at online.

Do you handle Steyn City's estate access for the visit?

Yes. Once an appointment is booked, we coordinate the visitor registration the estate requires so the consultant arrives on time without you needing to manage it from your side.

Is motorisation worth it over a manual chain?

For anything above head height, over a stair void, or across a wide run of glass — yes. One button beats reaching a chain, and there's nothing dangling for small children to find. For a single standard window, a manual chain with a wall tensioner is often all you need.

Are the blinds child-safe?

Chain and cord tensioners are fitted as standard on every corded product we install, and motorised options remove cords entirely. Worth flagging specifically for nurseries and kids' rooms at the measure.

How long from enquiry to fitted blinds?

It runs in a few clear steps — enquiry, free measure, written quote, then manufacture and fit. Exact lead times are confirmed on your quote, since they depend on fabric choice and how many windows are on the order.

What about wind on exterior awnings and screens?

Real limits, not marketing language. Every exterior product we recommend for a Steyn City deck or entertainment area gets a wind sensor specified, so it retracts automatically before a Highveld storm gust reaches it.
