Specialist Blinds for Bantry Bay's Premium Properties
Bantry Bay sits on the dramatic hillside between Sea Point and Clifton, commanding some of Cape Town's most spectacular ocean views. The suburb's luxury apartments and hillside villas demand window treatments that protect valuable interiors while showcasing those million-rand vistas.
This exclusive enclave requires blinds engineered for extreme coastal exposure. Properties here face intense Atlantic winds, salt-laden air, and unrelenting UV radiation. Standard window treatments fail within months—corroding mechanisms, fading fabrics, warping components.
Why Bantry Bay Properties Need Specialist Blinds
Bantry Bay's clifftop location creates unique challenges:
- Wind exposure: Ocean-facing properties experience sustained winds up to 80km/h during summer southeasters, requiring reinforced mounting and wind-resistant roller systems
- Salt corrosion: Marine aerosols corrode standard aluminium components within 12-18 months; stainless steel or marine-grade brackets essential
- UV intensity: Unobstructed northern exposures fade standard fabrics in 2-3 years; commercial-grade UV-stabilised materials mandatory
- Full-height windows: Many modern apartments feature 3-4 metre floor-to-ceiling glass requiring specialized mounting systems
- Privacy vs views: Hillside proximity to neighbouring properties demands balance between openness and screening
- Interior protection: High-value furnishings, artwork, and finishes require effective solar control
Recommended Blinds for Bantry Bay
Motorised Roller Blinds (Most Popular)
Our premium motorised systems dominate Bantry Bay installations for good reason. Remote control eliminates the need to reach inaccessible mechanisms on 4-metre windows. Somfy motors operate silently, integrate with smart home systems, and include obstacle detection for safety.
Sunscreen fabrics (1%, 3%, 5% openness) allow occupants to enjoy ocean views while blocking 95% of UV and reducing heat gain by 40-60%. Essential for north and west-facing living areas.
Investment: R1,200-2,800/m² installed (motor, fabric, marine-grade mounting)
Sheer Elegance & Zebra Blinds
Dual-layer systems offering infinite adjustment between transparent and opaque. Ideal for bedrooms and lounges where you need flexible privacy without losing views. The horizontal stripe aesthetic complements contemporary architecture popular in Bantry Bay.
Investment: R850-1,400/m² installed
Premium Venetian Blinds
Marine-grade aluminium (not standard) with baked enamel finishes resistant to salt corrosion. 50mm slats provide architectural presence suited to high-ceilinged spaces. Tilting function allows precise light control while maintaining outward visibility.
Investment: R650-1,200/m² installed (marine-grade components)
Outdoor Blinds for Balconies
Ziptrak® clear PVC or mesh systems transform exposed balconies into usable year-round spaces. Side channels prevent wind flapping while maintaining 100% views. Essential for properties facing southeaster winds.
Investment: R2,500-4,500/m² installed (engineered wind-resistance)

Pricing for Bantry Bay Properties
Bantry Bay installations average R15,000-45,000 per room depending on window size, system complexity, and automation level. Full apartment fitouts (2-3 bedrooms, living areas, balconies) typically range R85,000-180,000.
